Connecting PC Link to Android Tablet

[Powermax Engineering]

Hi,

We have a customer that wishes to install a tablet in his dash to use PC Link to display the dials, and wanted to know if PC Link can be installed on an Android tablet.

We have done this before with Windows XP running tablets, but were interested in checking out android instead.

Thanks in advance

Good afternoon Colin,

We do not have an Android version of PCLink, only a windows based version at this stage.

Regards,

Scott

Many thanks Scott.

We'll stick to the windows tablet.

Cheers

Colin which version of windows tablet is compatible with using pc link software?

[Powermax Engineering]

Any we have used in the past were using Windows XP.

That's why I was interested in finding out about the Android system, as most of the XP tablets are secondhand these days.

a member is developing an android app with display of parameters, hi/lo warning and datalogging not sure when it will actually release though.  Obviously not full featured as pc link but will be great on the move.

Hi Phil

On the G4+ its easier as you can use the OBD output from the ECU or if you want can also run PClink on a windows tablet with a page set up as a gauge type display.
