Diagnostic Port Info Options

[lilguy]

Hey all just wondering if i was to get a OBD 1 to OBD 2 adapter Link and then to add an OBD 3 scanner to usb Link would it get the correct data to display realtime Engine RPM, Speed, Air Flow etc etc.

just wondering if anyone knows if it would work or if thay have done it what they used to do it and what programs they used.

Thanks

yup, i agree.. but the question would be, does the ecu still send info that the device can decode/encode properly that the App can use acuratley? and yes to go from OBDI to OBDII there are many sensors that would not be there, but then again there are still many inputs that are availible on OBDI that do no have any kind of display to read..

personaly i am interested in doing this package (22pin -to- OBD port connector, OBD port scanner/Blue-tooth transmiter, and the $5.00 torque app)

for me it would be on a 95 7afe auto, and since i am in the process of rebuilding the motor, and will be taking a 1200 mile trip just after i break the new motor in, something like this (should it work right) would go a long way to provide me allot of piece of mind, and important information that the stock gauge pod, and the few additional gauges will not offer. not to mention the ability to data log, and get fault codes.. effing awesome.. again only if it works.. should i have the additional $45 to spend after getting all that i need to finish my rebuild i may go ahead and do this.

i am most excited by the low total cost (assuming that you already own an android) and the fact that this combo may give us OBDI owners an ability/tool that has generally been ignored by the aftermarket. Normally resulting in having to buy a more expensive piggy back unit, and having to fabricate a custome harness just to simply access a data stream that is already being pushed to the ECU already....
