My touch pad is running CM alpha 3.5 and i managed to sync it with a bluetooth OBD2 device i baught of ebay. I have installed torque on my toucpad however the OBD device is not communicating with it.
On my laptop running win7 i synced the obd device and using free obd software it was communicating with my laptop and was able to read the ECU.
SO the OBD device is working, just not likeing my touchpad. Is there something i am doing wrong??
Thanks
Alpha 3.5 here with a generic OBD2 BT reader. Torque finds and connects to mine right away...works great and looks sweet. If you want GPS data you can tether your GPS to your phone with an app from Market, it works great.
If you are prompted for a password when torque connects to your OBD reader, try 1234.
thanks for your reply. I was hoping it was a case of plug it in and sync to get it working.
i have managed to connect a GPS reciever i found lying around my house and got it working fine with copilot using a app off the market place. Its just the OBD device dosent want to work. Ill borrow a friends phone and try it out with the free version of torque to see if it works fine. The other option is get a WLAN obd deivce for my iphone but i really dont want to pay the stupdily high prices they are atm.
Last night i tested out using a friends galaxy s2 and it all worked fine straight away
The only difference i noticed when paired with the s2 the android bt settings says the obd device is 'connected'. With my touchpad it says 'paired but not connected'
Had the same issue with the free version of torque app, try to purchase the full version and try it then, works great for me. If it still doesn't work you have 15 minutes to return the app for a refund.

Paired not connected is what it will always say unless you are directly accessing it. If I open torque it finds my device and connects, then the status indicates connected.
make sure you pair with the correct code
i got an ELM327 bluetooth thing from amazon last month for $20. had to get the pair code off some comments on amazon.
the first time i tried to pair with the wrong code, it said it paired but torque didn't read it at all. kinda weird that it said it paired.
once i got the right code, torque worked fine.

I ordered a bluetooth gps yesterday.
I hope it comes in by the middle of next week to try it out with the G Tablet.
Now all I need is a car mount for this thing and it'll be an awesome in car device.

I tried my HOLUX M-1000 GPS with the gtablet. I was able to connect using Trekbuddy mapping software, but I could not get it to work with MapDroyd. I tried using a couple of the bluetooth utility apps like gps mouse and blue gps but I didn't have any luck with either of those. Let us know what you find out.
Anyone tried bluetooth gps and headphones with the g-tab?
I have tried to use a bt gps with the Program Bluetooth gps from googoo android, but after starting and selecting maps, it always FC. I can not find an update for the program on markst, so i am not sure it is the latest version. I am on tnt 2.00

I found a program outside of the market called BlueGPS and sideloaded it. Works fine with my iTrek M5 but you have to allow mock locations under settings>applications>development and set it to replace the internal GPS in BlueGPS. I set the Max connection tries to 5.
Where did you get BlueGPS? I have an iTrek M5 and would like to put it to good use!

I got it....it works with my teletype brand bt gps unit!
Search "tomtom bluetooth gps receiver for usa and canada" on Amazon (can't post outside links yet). The thing only costs $18.99!!
It looks like this is the best deal for a little GPS Bluetooth receiver to use with our GTabs. I bet it will work fine judging from the rest of this thread and the Amazon comments about using it with iPod Touches.
http://wireless.1saleaday.com/
1saleaday has BT GPS for $9.99 + $4.99 shipping. I'm about to bite
I just purchased one, see what happens
1saleaday is truely a great site. i've ordered alot from them.

After you pair the GPS with the G-Tab you'll need BlueGPS to connect it. Once it's paired and connected with BlueGPS you can launch your navigation application.

Thanks! Are you just using the standard Nav App that comes on the G-Tablet?
Setting for BlueGPS and TomTom GPS
What if any settings did you select to get the TomTom to work? What application are you using to verify that it is working? I was attempting to get GoogleMaps to find my location (connected via bt with BlueGPS and the green light was flashing on the TomTom) but it is always unable to find me.
Thanks.
I had an OnCourse BT-339 hanging around in the house. I used it for my Dell Axim 51v. So I thought I would give it a try connecting to my gtab. I have read many posts about connection issue but can't find one specific to my issue. I cannot get the gtab bluetooth to pair with the gps. I tried my bluetooth headset and that connected fine. Is my gps unit outdated or am I doing something wrong.
I just paired my OnCourse BT-339 with my Nook Color running CM7 RC4 so it should work for you as well. I had to download an app from the marketplace called "Bluetooth GPS". Just download the app and launch. If no devices are paired it will take you to the pairing screen, this time it should pair (I too could not pair before downloading this app even though I could see the BT-339 in the list of BT devices). Once paired, it should show the BT-339 in a pull-down list. Just hit connect and it should connect.
Hope it works.
I just got my new car yesterday, a 2012 Hyundai Veloster, and my phone refuses to connect to the already paired system unless I actually choose to connect to it.
In my Toyota Matrix in which I installed a Clarion CZ500, I had no problems auto connecting.
Can anyone think of why this might be happening or know of a workaround? Unfortunately, Tasker doesn't have a feature to connect to a Bluetooth device.
Check out the pairing section.

I'm going to try to set it up through the voice interface, but it shouldn't make a difference.
It started working properly all of a sudden.

Having the same problem with my Atrix 4G running GB 2.3.4 and my car stereo (Pioneer MVH-8200BT).
Manual connection works fine. This used to work too, I just can't figure out what broke it (2.3 upgrade maybe). I've deleted the BT profiles from both the car stereo and the phone, didn't change anything. (and yes, the car stereo is set to Auto-Connect).
I find this extremely annoying :-/
Is BT on before the car starts? I found that that's the problem.

I'll try to reverse the order and turn the BT on after the radio is fully powered up
At the risk of highjacking an old thread:
How secure is bluetooth.
I'm looking at a bluetooth ignition system.
Function:
When a pairing is made, a relay is turned on.
When the pairing is lost, the relay is turned off.
The device gives no indication, physical or via bluetooth about the relay status.
The device is set to non-discoverable by hardware.
The password is a 20 character alpha-numeric code.
The device performs no function and stores no data, it simply operates from the pairing.
How secure would this be? or more accurately, how much time would likely be required to crack this device assuming no physical access?
Also looked into RFID, but that looks to be easy to crack unless I spend silly money on an active encryption system.
Hey guys, after searching long and hard on the net I still couldn't find an anwser to this problem :
I have an MSI Windpad Enjoy 7 Tab that I used to to connect to an ELM327 OBDII bluetooth dongle for car diagnostics (torque app).
After upgrading from froyo to gingerbread, my tablet bluetooth doesn't detect the elm327 anymore, it also doesn't detect my car kit but it still detects other android phones perfectly well.
I know it's not a hardware problem or incompatibility since I already paired that device to this tablet before, it's a scan problem.
So here's my question: is there a way to "force feed" the bluetooth address of a device into android so it doesn't have to rely on a scan to find it?
Try Bluetooth File Transfer from GP
From GP? what's that?

GP = Google Play
I have attached the file transfer apk in attachments download it and let me know if it works
Thank you but that still doesn't work.
Sometimes when I put the tablet really close to the bluetooth device, it detects it and shows it as a mac address in the list, it doesn't have time to receive its ID before scan stops.. and then pairing doesn't work since it doesn't know what type of device it is...
Any suggestions guys? after searching on the forum, this appears to be the same problem samsung galaxy S users had when first upgrading to gingerbread...
Yeah mine did the same thing. Had to buy a new one

Both Bluetooth and Wifi OBD-II devices are supported by our headunits. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for with these devices and the cheap ebay ones aren't very reliable
OBD devices are only detected if broadcasting name contains OBD. There is a work around using petrows CarService
Please report back any that work for you
Wifi
- VGate iCar 2
Bluetooth
-
Wired (USB)

Note: If connecting to wifi device, you'll lose you access to the internet (wifi/3g)
Curious about how to resolve the problem I have with OBD.
I use an OBDLink LX, which is far and away one of the best you can use. Not a cheap Chinese knock-off and it has specific support in both Torque and Dashcommand.
On my MTC KLD unit, Torque detects the OBD device just fine. Torque just works with it, I didn't have to do anything.
However, Dashcommand does not reliably detect it. Dash Command is enumerating devices differently somehow, and just shows "paired device" for everything. I was able to randomly choose one once, and it worked. The next time, it wouldn't work on either one. I would MUCH prefer to use Dash Command, as Torque gives me wildly inaccurate readings (MPG, HP, Torque, all are way off despite using accurate profile information). Dash Command tech support insulted me by simply responding to read the user manual PDF.
Any ideas?
I've just got a "LUJII Mini OBD2 ELM327 V1.5 Bluetooth Car Scanner". Works ok with my phone, and in the Bluetooth menu it seems to pair. But then Torque says it is not paired even though I have the OBD sign in the top status bar.
Need to force the pairing inside of the torque app by selecting which OBD device and then it works ok.

same problem for me on my kld 3066 Torque is paired and working immediatly.
dashcommand pair OBDII BT device but always don't connect, i just found that OBDII connect to dashcommand 80% of the times if I force dashcommand to close from Apps list and that I restart the App
I write lot of mails to dashcommand about this problem (also because i buy), ...I send Debugs and so...but I still with the same problem
Am I gonna also lose connection to may hands free bluetooth if I get a bluetooth one?
I never had one of those and would like to know which one you recommend for a Rk3066 HU
Thanks.
I got this one off amazon and for 11 bucks it works 99% of the time. The only issue I have had is it reads wrong codes on Subaru but works fine on Toyota, Nissan and Kia so far.

Hi all.....
I've got a SCANTOOL OBDLink LX connected to my AUDI S3 8P, and it's the fastest BT dongle i've ever seen.....it make about 45 Fps, when china's ELM make 10 Fps.....
Unfortunatly, the TP 2.0 protocol isn't available with a standard ELM327.....you just access to generic PIDs, so it's limited.....i'm working on it.
I also try a WBH BT5 dongle, witch should read the TP 2.0 with TORQUE......at the moment, i can't access to my ECU MED9.1 (but i can on KWP1281 EDC15P), i'm working on it too, with florian Help...
To paired with the WBH BT5, you need to override in Xposed MTC the dongle string name, and it work fine.

As an update, since I remove carservice this works much better, no need to force pairing everytime.

No you can bluetooth to more than one device at a time.
Anyone using VGate iCar v2 or v3 BT version? I wish to have one of these as they have automatic sleep mode so you can keep it plugged all the time without batt drain.
So I've tried both this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014MV03KY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00 and this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NLQAHS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
And I can't get either of them connect to bluetooth. They both show up when you search for the adapter, but neither of them connect. They don't even give me the option to put in the PIN to have them connect. Has anyone ever had this kind of issue? If so what can I do to fix it?

Correction - I found the settings page finally - apparently I hadn't actually enabled xposed MTC. Once it was enabled and rebooted, I still haven't been able to get the device to show up at all in the bluetooth settings. I've tried:
K
k
Kiwi
KIWI
Kiwi 3
3
kiwi
KIW
kiw
Kiw
as well as leaving the field blank. Still nothing in the bluetooth settings. I can confirm that the device is on and connectable from my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
has anyone found an adapter that plays well with mtcb decks and 2001 f150's? i've tried 3 adapters and still haven't gotten one that does both. either the connect no problem to my deck but not to the ecu or they connect to ecu but its named "chx" instead of obd and won't connect to my deck. i did try using the xposed module to override but it never worked for me either.
