Wifi Obd2 (Jobd)Iphone Scanner Tool

[Lakes101]

Hi there guys.

Wondering if this wifi scanner tool would connect to our jap obd2 systems?

http://www.obdsoftware.net/OBDLinkWifi.aspx

Anyone know if this would connect as I'm not 100% sure and thought at least a few of you would know if it would.

Cheers fellas

Definite no for c34 stageas, they use consult not obd, not sure on others.

I would hazard a guess and say no. Mainly as I have yet to see a reader work outside of Japanese ones.

Just get the HKS OB-link and a Samsung, the car is not hipster enough to talk with an Apple phone.

[LineItUp]

I've ordered one of the newer dongles from OBDlink on Kickstarter to see if it works (I figured the $80ish investment was worth the risk)

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obdsol/obdlink-mx-wifi-a-wireless-gateway-to-vehicle-obd?ref=live

If that fails, I too will be buying the HKS one.

[Lakes101]

LineItUp let us know how it goes. I have the plx kiwi2 but that dosnt seem to communicate with the apps or car.

That one on kickstarter seems to support JOBD which is what we use in the nm35 I'm pretty sure. Otherwise I'll be going Scotty's way of the hks obd link and an android tablet.

[LineItUp]

No worries,

I'll let you know. ETA for mine is still several months away. (it is Kickstarter after all)

I actually have an Uprev Cipher cable (I've got a V35 rather than a stag), but I want some on screen gauges as part of a project to put an Android tablet inside the guts of the pop up screen (been planning it for a while but was focusing on paying the car off... moving house next month and then I will start gathering parts).

So buying the HKS isn't a deal breaker, but it is pretty expensive for what it is.

[scotty nm35]

It's pretty cheap for what it is imo. Nothing much else works on the 2.5's. There is always the Greddy Touch, but I guess $330 is way out of your price range. Bloody good value for 50 possible gauge readings...

[Lakes101]

Wow eta 3 months that's a long wait for the item LineItUp.

Scotty, does the OBDlink display the CEL fault codes in jap or English and what other features does it support ie. data logging, sensor readings, rpm, speed and so on?

[scotty nm35]

No idea, mine is sitting here in the box still.

The Greddy doesn't show the fault codes properly. I would say, if you want to clear fault codes, you should buy a consult 3.

Here's the HKS link for it if you're interested:

http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product/electronics/monitor/ob-link/

If you've got an Android device you can install carscope and run it in demo mode to have a look. I was going down this path before I grabbed Craig's Greddy Informeter Touch.

As for what you get in the way of info someone else that has one will have to chime in, I'd be expecting the usual (RPM, Speed, Water Temp, Intake Temp, error codes etc..).

I've kicked in on that Kickstarter too, in the off chance it works on the m35's, yay, if not I'll stick it in something else.

Wow eta 3 months that's a long wait for the item LineItUp.

3 months is nothing for a Kickstarter product! I'll be impressed if we see it in 3 months, Im anticipating at least a 9 month wait. It took about 12 months to get my Pebble, its been 12 months since I backed Radiate Athletics for a tshirt, its been about 4 months since I backed for the Neat Ice kit

Not being a hater, just realistic. I backed the OBDLink as well

[Dunc]

Received my OBDLink today - down side is I won't have a chance to play with it until tomorrow night Im not holding my breath that it'll work with our bizarre cars but stranger things have happened.

Wonder if Lakes101 has his unit yet!

[Lakes101]

Na I didn't jump on board was a bit sceptical about is as no other one worked for me. Keep us posted how it goes though. If all is well ill be grabing one. What software did yours come with?

[Dunc]

Will update with results for sure Sounds like a few people have had dramas though, Im hoping they're just a bit inept and unable to follow some pretty basic instructions (I glanced at the user guide.. its pretty clear). Time will tell

In terms of what app, their android one is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=OCTech.Mobile.Applications.OBDLink and iOS one is https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/obdlink/id879636351?mt=8 theres also a windows application http://www.obdlink.com/software/

I believe the device should work with other apps, time will tell? I've not looked in to that.

[Lakes101]

Yeah no matter how much technology support I got from the company's that developed the devices supplied we couldn't get them to work on jobd.

I've recently switched to android so the bluetooth one looks like my best option.

Cheers dunc keep us posted

[Dunc]

No dice, I'll raise it on their forums but I doubt it'll go far! I might raise the point that the box does say it supports Japanese cars 2002 onwards and mine is MY02

[Lakes101]

That's a downer dunc was hoping for some goid results. Your correct it does say supports jobd, jobd2 2002 onwards.

[Lakes101]

So duns the his obd link is the go for us is it? What's your thoughts mate

[Dunc]

Still going back and forth with them on it. I'll let you know when I've got anything concrete At this point though, I would hold off.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I have been reading about the 04-05 zze122 corollas having the same issue as us with the OBD2 Bluetooth scanner not being compatible or the program not being able to pick up the scanner. In saying that they have finally fixed this issue. See below.

"I finally got my generic ELM 327 Bluetooth OBD scan tool to work with my 2004 corolla sportivo. Turned out the internal "handshake" needed to communicate with the ECU is quite particular, so when running the TORQUE application on galaxy S4, I set up a vehicle profile for the sportive, then scroll all the way down to the "custom conflagration string" field and input the following:

ATIB 96 \n ATIIA 13 \n ATSH8113F1 \n ATSP A4 \n ATSW00

and here is what it does/mean"

ATIB 96 \n - set the ISO baud rate to 9600

ATIIA 13 \n - set ISO (slow) init address to 13

ATSH8113F1 \n - set header to 8113F1

ATSP A4 \n - set protocol to ATO 4 and save it

ATSW00 - set wakeup interval to )) x 20 msec"

So that was what the corolla guys did to get theirs to work with theirs. This is way to technical for myself but we may have someone here that can use this information and may one day get it working for our vehicles like they have so give us this option along with the HKS OBD link.
