I'll let someone else with more techno-gizmology experiment first though lol.

The hardware costs about 35 canadian dollars...I'll take a look through the software later

App installed , glossary gives details on connecting bluetooth box to diags e1,vf,b+ and te2... There's a 1.3 sec delay down to the protocol used by Toyota..that all folks

Isn't technology wonderful - this'll give me another contraption to curse at.

Great stuff!

 

[Guye]

I will probably give this a try as well. The ability to see the actual ignition value and when knock is detected should be useful.

There is this PC equivalent here http://primavistalab.com/myengine/

Looks like all you need is "The cable consists of a two wire, 1,5-3,3 nF capacitor and plug com-port (female)" and a PC with a coms port..

software runs also.

Just use the PC software above , the android software may run but you'll get all kinds of problems with drivers.
