OBD-II data module for all MS2/MS3 ECUs
#41
Anyone install one of these?

Ok, and the "pins" are on the db37 connector? 1 is top left? 37 is bottom right?
Are the wires from the module connected on the outside of the ms3 to the db37 connector?
Get something (some kind of female connector I guess) from Radio Shack to connect?
I'm a electrical/ wiring NEWB.

Oh man this makes me wish my NA had OBDII. I use VCDS for my Jetta and I ******* love it. This would be most choice.

Jeff- if you have an ms2 or 3 this will add a obd2 port.
Dimitris- got it all soldered into the pigtail, everything has been put up and I plugged the obd2 wifi dongle into it and the dongle is not lighting up. I know the dongle works (tested in truck). There is a second red wire about 1/2 the length of the other 4 wires. Does it need 12v? Any ideas?

There's a 2nd red wire as you said, that goes straight to the connector, not to the OBD-II box. Give this red wire either a permanent 12V (ie battery) per the specs, or a switched 12V if you don't like the battery drain.

Having an unmolested OEM harness and some way to make a stock ECU feel happy once per year is one way.
I swap engines, but there are many ways that are simpler than that
But the day when (if) there are money to be made (fines) by doing road-side OBD-II error code readings the casual approach will need to change.
Horrifying idea, but not far from real with networked self driving cars, to use a road you must have a compliant/verified car...

Interesting since CA have been successful in exporting their "technologies" to other "socialistic" states.

I have thus far dodged every single one (dip into a side street before the checkpoint and navigate around it), but from the people that have done it I believe it's sniffer only. I'll double check.

Checking OBD-II is usually as fast as a sniffer, but the connector have much more locations than the tailpipes (less training needed).

Back on topic (almost).
How huge would a device be that allowed selected CAN attributes to be sent over BT to e.g. RaceChrono?
RaceLogger bluetooth input format - RaceChrono forum
Just 8 analogue, one digital and one rpm channel.
Doing this directly from CAN removed the limitation in OBD-II (no oil temp or other special things).
Can MS do math between parameters and send that as a new CAN property?

Rev,
Any idea if your module works with this; Petrel Data Systems » OBDLink MX Scan Tool?
What's shipping time from date of order?

And a quick google search looks like there's a bunch at the lower price points.
Thanks.
