OBDII Connector

[nzer]

Any of you in Oz or NZ got an iPhone, android or PC hooked up to and working with the OBDII connector? Yes I have tried and have found some discussion in USA forum but nothing on the Australasian forum so not sure if our connectors are "live".

If you have got it working can you get real time oil temp?

And, what connector/transmitter are you using, what reader (iPhone, android, laptop) and what app or software.

Which bluetooth OBD sender do you use?

No real time oil temp. Link to the one I use in my Sig.

Code 01 5C 1 on this wikipedia list (assuming correct) seems to indicate it is the oil temp code. Can we not get real time data as there's no actual oil temp sensor on the car or some other reason?

I have the same one at home as Yruyur.

Just need a car

Looking at Torque, it should be possible as you can add custom PID's. Just added mine. I just don't know if our vehicles output Oil Temp.

Perhaps someone can try?

Torque Settings -> Manage available OBD2 PIDs
Add Custom PID


OBD2 PID:
015C (may need a space between 01 and 5C)
Long Name:
Engine Oil Temp (Change this to your liking)
Short Name:
Oil (Change this to your liking)
Min Value:
-40
Max Value:
210
Scale Factor:
x1
Unit Type:
°C
Equation:
A-40


If I understand correctly, if you want Fahrenheit replace A-40 in the equation above with: 9/5*(A-8)

I was looking for that PID I will try using it. I was told there is a sensor and the Toyota software can read it but not confirmed.

Be very interested to hear if that PID works if you can test pretty please!

[Yruyur]

Testing now...we when my car gets done being washed.

I use the ELM 127 obd2 bluetooth adapter (amazon for 10$)
and torque app for galaxy nexus/asus tablet from google play (5$)


Works great, and the addon's for torque to get video overlay of your inputs for logging is free and pretty sweet

You mean the oil temp works?

Just tested it
NOT work for oil temp
Anything else I can try?
