scott87star Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Messing around with this piece: http://picturehosting.com/images/oblique9881/photo_27.jpg It's nice! Rock solid stable, real time data transfer, I'm in the 5th hour or so of non-stop communications. It's an efianalytics.com (Phil Tobin, wrote Tuner Studio) piece available here: http://tunerstudio.c...lesandbluetooth. Much better than a wire, I guess the only thing I don't like is how long it is but I can easily make a short cable for it so it can double back and be secured to the controller itself. So, why spend the money? Oooohhh, China manufactured Android based double DIN car stereos: http://www.ebay.com/...601fc9f&vxp=mtr Cheap (of course) but MSDroid can be downloaded as an app, you can set it up for real time gauge displays, tuning, on and on.

CaliConquestAlex Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Scott I'm using that same adapter and I have noted that sometimes I get weird mapdot noise only on bluetooth connection. When connected through usb I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87star Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Tuning and data recording on a tablet ? And on your double din car stereo! Not seeing any MAPdot noise, I'll run some tests. 20 hours straight with a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87star Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I did some testing/logging with MAPdot, TPSdot and everything else, no unusual noise on the bench test. We'll see what happens in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87star Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 MSDroid on Google Play, version 2 will have improvements specifically for tuning via phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) I've been using MSdroid and ShadowTuner with the bluetooth adapter on my Nexus for about 2 years now with zero issues.Never thought of the bluetooth enabled stereos though! BTW ShadowTuner has a heads up display option. Set my tablet on the dash and it reflects of the windshield surprisingly well for a heads up display.

Skullzaflare Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 hmm, if the android headunits had a rear USB port, i could just hook my cable to it lol. i hate how big that bluetooth adapter is, i thought about getting a small unit, and soldering it inside the case, so i could use blue tooth or connect a cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you solder the BT inside the case I think you will have issues when you want to connect a cable. I know with a Y cable and BT plugged into one and a cable to the laptop on the other I cannot connect. It gives a com error. So you would have to have a way to disable the BT adapter in order to use the RS232 serial cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
