Slicknick Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 After some code from Konrad I can now connect my smartphone app "Torque" to my 98 VVTi to get loads of info from the various engine sensors. Very handy for anyone with a VVTi (Not sure about pre VVTi facelift) with the OBDII Port. Total cost of £15 for the app and adapter, quite pleased Quick vid of it working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izusxo6vD50 (p.s the AFR wont read correctly until the car is warm on closed loop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st3ven1 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Had this working on my 350Z, you can also link it to a tablet to have a bigger display if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah might try it on my Tablet, its fairly simple getting it to work on a modern car but fairly unheard of on a Supra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I bet if you run CAN LO and CAN HI from a Syvecs to the pins on the OBD2 connector, you'll be able to get full ODB2 readouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 That'd look the nuts on an iPad integrated into the dash I'm gonna be looking into doing this in the next few months. May just go for a CarPC though and try get OBD readings through that. This page is very handy, good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathWraith Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just looked at my UK spec 94 and there is no such port Only got a "diagnose" port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 this will only work in the obd2 cars (vvti) the obd1 93-97 supra its had to even get your fuel trims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathWraith Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 this will only work in the obd2 cars (vvti) the obd1 93-97 supra its had to even get your fuel trims Ah that sucks. I'm guessing the diagnostic port is OBD1 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That's fascinating I'm guessing the 13% throttle angle is the DBW controlling the idle? And surely you'd need a wideband to get meaningful lambda readings, I wasn't aware the VVTi had one of those but I'm ready to be corrected.

Kirk Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I've been using the pro version for quite some time now and its been very useful for quick diagnostics. I completely forgot the VVTi's had ODB II connector, must try this out I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Ah that sucks. I'm guessing the diagnostic port is OBD1 then? i'm sure i did read at some us forum how to convert your diagnostic port to obd2 one and get reading from ecu as i would be suprised if they used different protocols between pre and facelift cars. Forgot to add - torque will also read and clear fault codes at least on vvti one (tested).

SteveC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I've Torque on my Android phone and I use it with a Bluetooth adapter on a couple of other (OBD2) cars we have. I bought a cheap Toyota diagnostic port to OBD2 adapter off eBay to try on my (OBD1?) UK model. It fits perfectly, but sadly the set-up doesn't give any results on the Torque app - in fact, the Bluetooth adapter doesn't even show any signs of life - the LEDs don't light up. I didn't really expect it to work, but thought it was worth a try for a fiver for the adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Wish this app was available for the iPhone! Download REV for the iPhone. It's pretty much the same. You need a WiFi OBD2 reader for the iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Download REV for the iPhone. It's pretty much the same. You need a WiFi OBD2 reader for the iPhone. Thanks Johnny...big difference in price though: REV - £27.99 WiFi OBD2 connector - £111.05! http://www.kiwiwifi.co.uk/products.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
