Now talk with your car computer!

hi,
guys

Today i'm going to talk about morden car hidden feature yeah,thier very own computer.As morden cars have ECU for engine management and control of various sensors wether it is O2 sensor or temperature sensor.But like other computers it also have a communication port the common one is OBD II.Have you ever seen the MIL(Malfunction indicator light) going on in your dash will starting the car but it won't start,it is due to some information about car engine is get stored in it's ECU.

In market there are kits available to communicate through the ECU but they are very costly.So their is also a solution for that our very own smartphone and a bluetooth dongle available in market which is cheaper than these kits.
Any OBD II certified will work,all you need is to install an app name OBD scope for Symbian V3 and for Android torque.just install the app the UI is different on both the app but the concept is same.

Just open the app search for available bluetooth devices connect with the bluetooth dongle that connected at cars OBD II port after that it will start showing the various data from sensors,you can also see speed and rpm mileage etc just start the engine while connected.

Thanks for reading
enjoy
