Hello guys,
I'm looking at being able to view engine fault codes, and other sensor information using my mobile phone. I believe there is an application available for android and iOS that uses bluetooth to communicate with a diagnostic scanner that connects to the OBD2 port.
Does anyone know anything about this and whether I can just get any off the shelf product? I was hoping to be able to see things like temperatures, pressures and timings.. I have no intention of changing the map that Bob Rawle put on there; would just like to see what's going on.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply; I believe I know the software side but I'm more concerned at what connector I need.
I've got the standard classic green and black test connectors, but I also have the following: -

I'm assuming that's in fact an ODBII port, so I'm in luck.. as I believe most classics do not have one. I assume it's because it's the late 2000 model version 6 JDM WRX STi

OBDII only came into use in the UK in 2001 (Newage onwards)
AFAIK, JDM models "do not always" connect using OBDII and SSM is a better option for them.

Ah, some great replies, I didn't know about SSM, I was hoping to get a screen for my car that would have digital dials. I'm actually a software engineer and would really like to have a play with making an interface. I'm okay with the software side of things; I really just want a way of extracting it from the ECU.

I believe there are a couple of apps available that use SSM.
May be of use......
