Just curious.. Wideband after the cat?

 

That's a bit odd.. Usually not a recommended place to put a sensor that's supposed to measure an engine's mixture as the gas composition gets altered by the cat's processes unless the 'cat' in this case is a decat/pipe? (in which case it would be fine)

 

Bye, Arno.

That may not be a cat

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

No CAT 👍

Anyone got a link for the correct lead to plug my laptop into the car? I assume an laptop running windows 8 will be fine for mapping also?

 is it as simple to get a micro usb to normal usb adapter to connect the EML 327 to it ??? if the tablet has a micro usb only !

Maybe. You might find you need to get a USB OTG (On-the-Go) micro USB to to full size USB adaptor (something like this), depends on the tablet. I've got a Dell Venue Pro 8" tablet (Win 8.1) here with an OTG adaptor and it runs OpCom and OBDTuner fine though I haven't tried it with a dumb micro->full USB adaptor to see if it still works.

how did you find the screen size techie ??

Will a Samsung Galaxy tab 3 run opcom ?

Yup, that's the fella. It's a surprisingly decent bit of kit for the price and has a really good screen and decently powerful processor.

 

8" screen is fine for me but I definitely wouldn't want to go any smaller as it's right on the edge of usable for apps that aren't really designed for a tablet. OBDTuner looks fine once it's opened full screen but the items in the dropdown menus are small, if you've got chunky fingers. Possibly worth getting a capacitive stylus if you find it awkward.  OpCom works great as it has big dumb chunky buttons.

 

Here's what OBDTuner looks like, running full screen, with a 20p coin for an idea of size.

 

 

 

Your biggest problem might be getting your ELM interface working properly with Win8.1 as I believe others have had some problems.

No. It's an Android device and OpCom is a Windows only application. You'll be able to get something like Torque running on it for general fault diagnosis and logging but you can't run Windows apps.

Thought that might be the case thanks Matt

Guess what techie can't get my new laptop to work on the obdtuner / elm327 unit seems to be driver related but I'm sure you will point me in right direction ( windows 8.1 ) Code 10 😜
