This forum and article might be of some help. 'free OBD2 software with MPG calc' Incidentally, I bought a Mini ELM327 BlueTooth on eBay to play with. The plan was to leave it plugged into my vehicle OBD2 connector and have it communicate performance numbers via BT to my Droid X phone while driving. The plan was ruined when I found myself with a dead car battery the next morning. It seems that the Mini ELM327 does not turn off when the ignition key is off, and continues to draw power. Common Basic Android Terminal Commands Every Android Owner Should Know – Part 2 of 2 in Android, Android App Development by Rodge February 28, 2013, 10:01 am. First, you need to download a free app called Android Terminal Emulator. It is free and works on the Incredible. You do not need root for this to work. To change back to your normal MAC Address, just follow these steps to change it back or restart your phone. Actually, it drew enough power to get hot enough to partially melt the blue plastic case. A quick survey of other such devices indicates similar problems. I had to crack the case to install an on-off switch. Miso, 9:35 น.

The eBay vendor was nice enough to sell me another one for essentially the cost of shipping as he was interested in the problem. The replacement did the same thing. Mine is similar to this one: There are several other form factors including one that's even smaller. I've tried two larger flavors, and they also don't turn off with the ignition key. >Otherwise, can you just hyperterminal to it and play around? Probably you could. BlueGoof nicely emulates a serial COM port so any terminal emulator should work. However, it might be easier to just buy an RS-232 ELM327 device. I hope you enjoy typing AT commands. There are apps to make it easier: Michael Terrell, 10:40 น. Jeff Liebermann wrote: > > On Sun, 25 Nov 2012 09:35:32 -0800, miso wrote: > > >I wonder if it was defective? Maybe it latched up.

But this is a 14 to 16 pin adapter. And I thought only Apple uses GD proprietary connectors. The shop manual calls the ODBII scanner the GST (general scanner tool), just to make the manual harder to read I suppose. BTW, if you never did it, for like $20 or so, there are websites that let you download the official manuals. I suppose there are pirated manuals as well, but $20 seems fair considering what cars cost. You get a one day subscription to the service. It is really intended for repair shops. Josephkk, 0:41 น.
