OBD Fusion tips and tricks

Thanks!

I was able to see them twice last year, and looking forward to seeing them later this year or next. They still put on a great show. Going to see them as often as I can- they can't tour forever!

 

I just started playing with OBD Fusion with Veepack wifi. I set up a dashboard to read engine oil temperature and one to read A/T oil temperature. They are both showing the same temperature. Is this right? I have a 2018 tacoma 6 cylinder. Thanks

 

Oil temp is close to AT temps

 

i haven't got the oil temp to work, nor found the torque converter lock status indicator yet. My trans temp gauges and gear position seem to work (at least for 1-6; P an N show up as "8").

My main problem is that my connection isn't stable. Sometimes it won't connect at all. Didn't have this problem with Torque.

I have tried re-pairing the

$10 Mestart Enhanced Version Bluetooth OBDII OBD2 Car Scanner Auto Diagnostic Tool for Android Devices

OBD several times. I'm running the current version of Android on a Samsung S21.

In the right lighting conditions, it looks like the HUD mode would be kind of cool.

 

I'm using this for gear and it works but doesn't show P or N. It just shows 1 for both. I don't have lock up status so I can't comment on that one.

 

You won't see alpha for the statuses, only numeric. Techstream does translate numeric output.

 

I still have some tinkering around to do (and probably a lot of reading on this thread to sort some tings out), but I did make some progress.

I ordered a

$26 Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 3.0 OBD2 Code Reader OBDII Scanner Scan Tool Car Fault Check Engine Light for Torque Android Windows

V-gate OBD reader that is on the list of compatible devices.

So far, it seems to connect right away and stay connected. The oil temperature reading works as well.

 

So this is the second time this has happened…

I open OBD fusion app and most of the sensors are showing mph only. Happened yesterday just before starting a 400 mile trip across west TX. It was early and we needed to get on the road so after trying to reimport dashboards to no avail I gave up.

What it appears to be is OBD fusion forgets the purchase of the Toyota pack and defaults some sensors to mph.

The best way to fix this is to firstly restore the purchase and then re-import your desired dash. Restoring the purchase only does not fix the messed up dashboard.

This is a great example as to why exporting your dashboards is good practice.

 

I have had this happen too. But when I restore the purchase, all the gauges come back. I have not had to re-import the dash board any time. I don't know why, but glad I don't.

 

Happened to me as well. Glad I’m subscribed. Thx!

 

Are you me? LOL the exact same thing happened to me at around the same time on a road trip through Texas... it was super annoying and I was towing my camper and had to reimport them all. Anyway I just read your post and thought maybe I had made that post and forgot, but nope it was you.

 

Where do I get the HP/engine power to work? I have carista. Tia

 

I think I’m using: Calculated PIDs | Engine Power.

Torque is in there too.

 

I've tried this and still reading zero...

 

These work for me. and power right above.

 

I wonder why these aren’t working for me? I even restored “my purchases”…

 

Did you get the Toyota extended data set?

 

This one…

 

That one. Yep.

 

Doesn’t work for me. I’ll delete/remove the said display and restore purchases. Then add them again.
