OBDLink MX and DashCommand

[ZBoater]

I purchased the OBDLink MX Bluetooth connector.

Amazon.com: ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX Bluetooth/OBD-II Scan Tool Interface: Automotive


And am running DashCommand on a Nexus 7 Android tablet.

Wow.

This thing is AWESOME. Who knew there was that much data available coming out of your truck! And the different dashboards and customizable gauges make for tons of entertainment. If you're a tech geek like me I guess...

I have this exact same setup. I love the compact size of the OBDLink MX. I'm still playing around with Dash Command to figure out all it's functions. One small problem I've had is the screen the shows fuel level. When I first fire up the app it works fine, but after a few minutes, the fuel level just goes blank.

I just used the fuel level screen to empty my truck out of 87 octane gas so I could load up on 93. I ran it down until it said I had 2 gallons left. I pumped 35 gallons of gas. It was either off by a gallon or my 36 gallon tank holds 37...

Anyways, it would not reset after that. It took forever to recognize the new fuel. I force stopped the app, relaunched, and then it was fine. Hit the multi task button, then swipe the app to the side. That kills it. Relaunch it and see if it makes any difference.

Before I waste my time, can you guys tell me if DashCommand does Live Video Track recording like TorquePro

Ii found it funny the Torque pro app can not write to the ECU on the truck.. But I changed the number of gallons my tank could hold on the app and it wrote that info to the ECU... I had a quarter tank left put in 6 (I meant to put in 36) and **** it showed almost full of fuel on the fuel gauge... So it can obviously write to the ECU at least in some respects.. I changed it to 36 and the gauge went right back to little less than 1/4 tank... I have used Torque for more than two years and reset countless friends CEL and pulled trouble codes....

I think the answer to your question is yes. In Android it's a free download so you can test it. You'll have to pay the $10 to get all the functions.

IceCobra,

I've had lengthy emails with Ian Hawkins (creator) with concerns to TorquePro damaging the Whipple/Ford Tune. TorquePro does not have the capability to write.

What you did is change how the information was being displayed.

I hope this turns out to be really good. Just ordered mine last night.

I'm really liking it. I need my Proclip holder to make it a complete solution. I also plan on hardwiring a charger to switched power to keep the Nexus 7 charged.
