Maff, I've got this now for my HTC android, but I'm having problems pairing the devices. How do you get into the App's setting menu? Any ideas? (HTC one if it helps)

Pair it outside the app just in the phones Bluetooth settings, as you would a headset etc...
/Default is 1234 iirc.

Did that part mate, just could nt open the App settings to get the program to see the obd whatsit. The free version has adverts across the screen bottom that might be obscuring any additional buttons.

Er.. nothing else to do as i remember.
Start the app and youll see 3 little flashing blue icons
1 for gps
1 for bluetooth to the OBD2 unit
1 for connection to to ECU
If its paired it connects on its own for me.

Susses it.
On the HTC One, the bottom right button normally throws up a multi layered screen showing what apps are running and shortcuts to other menus.
With the App running, press and hold this button, and up comes more buttons including "Settings".
In there, open up connection preferences and then select your Bluetoothed phone. Tadaa!
It's bloody brilliant:cheers2:
Can't wait for some boost in the morning as the old girl does nt have a boost gauge as standard(Probably due to the tiny amount of boost it runs!)

Good to hear. It is brilliant value for money. Used mine to diagnose a miss fire on a mates car so its paid for itself in one job.
