I'm using it! It works - My app isn't finished yet, but it's a re-hash of this:

The OBDII stuff is working very well. I've successfully had it running for hours on end pulling out the data. My MPG calculations seem to be a bit iffy though - I am having trouble finding a comprehensive list of all the basic formulas for temp, mass air flow etc for when I'm converting from the output long to it's 'real' value! I found one a long time ago when I first started on this, before your VB6 class, but can't find it now, so having a little trouble double checking everything.

I haven't tested standby/resume properly yet - my only try resulted in failure but I was thinking about polling for the standby system call and disconnecting, then on resume reconnecting if it causes any issues - my main thing is getting the instant MPG quick and reliable.

But yes... It works!
