lysaer Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi there I have just ordered my link g4+ plugin along with the dash and all the bells and whistles. The r33 gtr uses the Nissan consult cableandd I was just wondering if it would be possible to wire an obd2 port to the ecu in order to send telemetry via Bluetooth to the Torque android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes this can be doneAll that is required is the CAN L and H from the ECU and a power and ground connected to an OBD socket.The PC Link help file has a nice diagram of this.

lysaer Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Excellent, thank you Simon. Do you know if I wired 2 obd2 ports they would both read the data equally to different devices ? Also, is there a video out on the Link ecu, I have the nismo lcd dash as attached picture, I also have purchased the Link dash which will be used mainly for race days and just attached to the steering column as and when needed. but for daily driving if i could feed the data to the video rca on the Nismo dash that would be great thank you in advance Edited April 19, 2016 by lysaer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes if you used CAN 1 and CAN 2 outputs to two plugs you would get the same info on both.You could actually use just the one CAN output but wire two devices off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysaer Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Cheers Simon Any info about being able to get a video stream from the Dash 2 to an RCA I have looked at the connections and cannot see a video out anywhere on my unit, so far my idea would be to use a OBD2 to usb into an android device running Torque, then output the android device hdmi to rca converter box then rca into the dash, unless you can recommend a simpler way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Check out gaugeart.com, they do a CAN to video adaptor that works with G4+. You will need their vga to composite adapter also if your lcd doesn't have vga. I don't think you will be able to use torque via obd2 and gaugeart at the same time however since they probably use different streams.
