Bluetooth OBD2

There's a Bluetooth OBDII controller on the frontpage of carputers.org. It's not out yet, but it's coming soon.

Using a bluetooth dongle, you can read your car's ECU data using the device. At present, it's just ISO-9141 protocol, but more should be provided in the near future.

Just imagine someone hacking you cars ODB via bluetooth, while you're driving. LOL

As far as I know, it's Read Only, so there isn't much to hack

I just recently had my Autoenginuity scantool upgraded to blue tooth and I must say it was worth the extra money.

i was excited about this until I saw the pic, that thing is HUGE!!!! It doesnt seem too handy for leaving on all the time.

Also, why bother? Most of us on this board have fixed computers in our cars, why would we need to add the unreliabillity of wireless to something as simple as OBD-II?

That might be handy for the laptop crowd, but probably not for most of us. If you really want a bluetooth OBD-II adapter, just buy a serial one and hook a serial-bluetooth adapter to it. Voila!

You could get the adapter, but after buying both the ODB-II and the Serial Port to bluetooth adapter you would be spending a bit more.

Here is the a link to the Serial Port to bluetooth adapter.

It runs $149.
