Az Geek Talk

Just found the token email in my inbox from way back. I'm installing now. I'll be getting down tonight for sure

 

Just saw deadpool. Fucking awesomeness

 

It was so good!!!

Then on the way out a couple cool kids were trying to blast some Metal from their convertible mustang.. With the most blown sounding speakers ive ever heard.. I recognized the song, put it on real quick.. Blasting obviously.. And followed them around exiting the mall. They clearly heard it behind them because we all had a mini mosh sesh in thr vehicles.

Welp.. The stereo works pretty well I say. Lol

 

So excited.. Downloading all my map packs now.

And my Xbone is gangster as shit..

 

I know you want it Josh

 

hahahaha..

 

Anyone know a good android based rear seat entertainment system? Or something to mount 2 tabs 'permanently' for the reatr seats.

 

'permanently' mount them would require fabrication work to the head resets.

 

@Aw9d so I got the tablet and scanner today. Hooked it up everything worked fine. Ate some chow, came back out to fiddle around with it some more and the ECU won't respond. Any ideas?

 

OBDII scanner is having communications issues. Reset the connection in bluetooth and pair back to it again, see if that fixes it.

If it's a knock off Chinese one then it might just of went bad.

 

It's a BAFX scanner. It's #1 for wireless scanners on Amazon. Figured it was a safe buy. I did reset the connection by unpairing. Torque can tell the scanner is there because it connects, it just won't connect to the ECU.

 

Still might be bad. Try another car and see if it reads. If not, send it back.

Repair as well just to be safe. Try disabling fast communication and see if that helps.

 

Yeah Im gonna test it on someone's car here at work hopefully.

I was reading something online that a blown fuse may result in the scanner not connecting to the ECU, but the scanner will still receive power. It said to check the cigarette lighters for power, I did so and there was no power. Checked the fuse for the cigarette lighter and it was perfect. Even checked it with another 15A fuse and the power was out. I think I may have a bigger issue on my hands.

 

That's just strange right there. I can't see how any other fuse, other than the ECU fuse, would stop it from reading. The OBDII port is just a piggy back extension to plug into the ECU. There is no fuses or anything else that should interfere with it.

 

Idk I hate electrical stuff. I'm gonna just test it out on another car and see what happens.

 

Try the following

Try another car
Try another mobile device on your truck and car
Maybe reinstall the app if you don't have another device to check with

If you are down on my side of town ever PM me and I'll help you out. I love electrical.

 

Will do, thanks! Torque is a hell of an app. Some of the stuff is way over my head.

 

Wish it had a tutorial

 

Anyone with the entune and Nav try that Scout GPS app? It's supposed to work with the 16 but I don't see much difference between my Entune and the 16s.

 

Let me know if you run into issues. I got most of it figured out over the years I've had it. I love all the themes it has.
