M35 Consult Iii/obd Ii Cable And Software?

[BoostdR]

There is also a Nissan plugin for torque called. "Advanced EX for Nissan" mixed reviews. Looks like it will only work for cars with diagnostics via canbus which we don't have

[BoostdR]

No luck for me on torque. I was already using the init string valf posted. Not convinced my 327 is working. I've heard a great deal of the cheap Chinese 327's have faulty J1850 PWM capability. I've ordered a v-gate from Sydney.

Hobdrive replied and advised to use the "Nissan custom" setting under vehicle type, vehicle settings

No luck on my end. Tried updating the modified string and didn't even budge.

Also installed the software on the disc that came with the elm and when I paired it the software program stopped working

[BoostdR]

Latest email from HobDrive, says to ensure vehicle is set to "Nissan Custom" If that doesn't work enable Trace logs to enable a debug log to send them

Sorry for they delay, I work in International Surveillance for Defence which means lots of shift work.

So, it works !! Vgate with wifi

looks good! is it laggy getting the info to the screen at all?

[BoostdR]

It's kinda awesome, the more I look the more data I find. Even has stuff I didn't see on my consult 3. Updated with more pics in previous post. Update rate is fine. Best thing is it is stable. No crashes. Let's see if we can log. That would seal the deal.

Update rate is reported as 201ms if I'm reading it correctly

My consult it hit and miss too, its fine for scanning codes and resetting but thats about it lol, thanks for posting this i think i may invest in one!

[BoostdR]

I have another Chinese consult 3 on the way which they promise will be stable. Be interesting to find out if the replacement is. Although I think Scotty has a stable consult 3 with a different version of software.

BoostdR, is that with the same elm adapter you tried Torque with?

I've finally received my usb elm adapter, will start trying out things on my side but it's really cool to know HobDrive supports our cars

Will use it as a reference to make sure my adapter isn't faulty.

Pretty busy lately so I won't do much coding soon but I'm definitely still keen to get something cool to read sensors and read/reset DTC codes.

Thanks again BoostdR

Just a stupid question on my behalf if you can somehow clear codes like you can in torque does that mean you can clear cel for brake cut mod without use of switch

[BoostdR]

I've asked hobdrive to convert the full sensor list to English as some aren't. I should have a discounted full version for testing tomorrow.

I wasn't able to clear the cel for the brake mod even with consult 3 unless the cct was corrected.

No worries Valf. I tried torque today with the new adaptor but had no luck getting it to connect to the adaptor or ecu, I'm sure it's possible for the adaptor anyway. May need to remove all my previous setting and start again.

HobDrive have kindly given me a 50% off coupon code for the app which I am allowed to give to SAU members. I just can't publicly post it. PM me if you would like the code.

I might dig out my OBDLink and see if I can get it to work with the HobDrive demo. I never had any luck with their scan tool app, but it'd be a nice win if it works with an alternative app! Im not going to hold my breath though

[BoostdR]

Coupon code to be used via their web page only.

I have the full version up and running, haven't noticed any major difference from the demo version, but it's early days.

I did learn the mini Bluetooth Chinese ELM327's in a version 2.1 don't work as they are a clone chip. The v1.4 and 1.5 are better apparently. Also most android based double din stereos have a non standard cut down Bluetooth stack so most Bluetooth ELM327's don't work anyway.

Anyway the main screen really needs to have the sensors customized to be of value to us. This can be done, but at simple coding level. I'll look at it when I'm at work next.

I haven't had a chance to clear any CEL's as I don't have any atm.

There is some level of graphing/logging for fuel trims and lambda but nothing like torque or Nissan Data Scan offer with selected sensor X-Y axis logging.

There is a fast scan option which looks to double the update rate.

I'll have a read through the manual prob on Sat as I have a couple of cars to dyno tomorrow.

My replacement consult 3 arrived. It's just as unstable as my original. Seems to be the norm.

I asked hobdrive to customize the general screen to our sensors. Will see how it goes. Been nice and stable for me so far.
