    Actually, it won't work with OBDII at all currently. That might be something for the future but we'll see :)

    Yeah there is quite a bit of real-time tuning hardware to be supported, we'll see what I can come up with. The Ostrich would probably be the first to be supported tho as it seems to be the most common.

    I really feel like its the wrong (worst ?) time of the year to have released this app! It's almost Christmas so people spend money elsewhere, and also it's super cold up north, currently -30C in Montreal today, brrrrr :/ All the toys are stored away for the winter :)

    I don't think it would be worth the effort. There is already an excellent BT/Android app available for only $5 called Torque, that even has GM enhanced PID's available (and some other brands). You would be playing catchup for no real reason. In addition, there are many hand-held OBD2 code readers for under $20.

    I agree. The only reason I would do it is because it would take me a few hours... and would make the ADX support fully completed in a sense I guess, but I'm not sure it will happen anytime soon :P

    The problem with the OBD2 ADX is that it is written for the ELM327 plugin, not for the ELM327 directly. TunerPro currently has some limitations that prevent its direct use with the ELM327 adapter, mostly I think because the ELM327 uses an ascii format and TunerPro doesn't have a conversion from ascii, so it was necessary to write a plugin. At least that is my impression. You would have to emulate the plugin instead of just using the OBD2 commands in order to use the existing ADX that is available on the TP web site.

    Nope, someday maybe.
    Focus on your main objectives first.

    Nope wasn't me. Still trying to meet up with the guy that has a phone for me.

    Well got the usb board to try the app out and even though I read over the complete thread on this board I still got the incorrect board, it has a serial connection on it instead of a usb connection. Any help on correct board would help.

    This is a good time to release the product and get the kinks worked out. Last thing you want to do is create an application, force millions of people to use it and then have it fall flat on it's face.

    Gary, exactly, emulating the plugin is a few hours work probably :)

    Timm, totally agree'd. I'm glad I had the guys here to help testing before releasing it in the wild! I guess I will soon move to posting to more forum and see what happen :)

    The OBDII ADX usage is more of a utility thing to enable veiwing items, not a true logging app.
    I have torque, TP5, and a bunch of hand scanners/software.
    I like to use TP for everything. the ADX gives the flexibility to use it on everything although its not optimal for all cases.
    The ELM is reeeeeal slow for sampling, but for troubleshooting its a bonus.
    BT connection to OBDI or II from the same app and have it available in your pocket = COOL!
    Now to confiscate the wife's tablet...
