Bluetooth OBD2
« on: 24 February 2011, 21:28:14 »
Has anyone managed to get these working with a facelift omega?
There is a nice android app that uses the bluetooth obd2 but i don't want to waste my money just in case...

I was looking at that app the other day.

sounded quite good.

imho the size of a bluetooth odb adaptor would mean driving round with no fuse panel on, they dont look small.

I've heard good reports of these on others cars. Would be interested to see if they work for the mega.
The app OS so cheap compared to any other option really.
And the Bluetooth modules can be cheap too.

I'm keeping my eye out. I'll buy and try ::) :P

Interesting.

Bosch do a lap top based generic dignostic system that talks to the pc via blutooth link. "Dongle" is enormous, about the size of a router, but then it has processing power in there as well.  :-/

Is it reliant on the car being OBDII? If so, with your 97 TD, you could be Donald Ducked

The only Omegas that are ODBII (or technically, as its Europe, EOBD) compliant are 2.2 (both), 2.6 and 3.2. The Y25DT probably is as well, but not seen one, as we didn't get them here
