[@obeybay]

Nice set up snazzy!

[@Brandonbrown9]

Beyond genius. I'm doing this. Great post Quinn!

[@snazzy]

Thanks for watching, Brandon!

[@00nsqo]

Awesome. MagBak is the final touch on my Nexus7 OBD/ Dash set up i have in my G35. Thanks!

[@HenryPadilla]

Since you're using Bluetooth, if you're watching a video is the sound synced right?

[@The9000thReich]

Beautiful GTI, I would love to see it in more videos!

[@snazzy]

Why thank you! I like it too. :D

[@techexamined]

That was awesome for 85 bucks!! Great idea bro

[@snazzy]

TechExamined Thanks, Mike!

[@CarringtonSwissTwtedHill]

Awesome Video I was looking to go the other route and doing the Mighty Car Mods iPad Dash Install way but i might try this out for a cheap solution.

[@MrDjluis95]

Yo I still wanna try this mod on newer iPad with a jail brake dope vid

[@Greatbubba747]

Awesome! I love your DIY videos Quinn!

[@snazzy]

Eric Sims Thanks for watching, Eric. Enjoy the warm weather.

[@fadoodle]

I had no idea some of that stuff you did was possible, let alone for as little as $85. Thanks for sharing.

[@snazzy]

You learn something new every day. Thanks for watching Michael! :D

[@kstclaire]

Great demo. the MagBak on the ipad it stick to what on the dashboard? Thanks...

[@SackyX]

Nice video. Question for ya. My car speaker system is all hard wired, would I need two indigos, one to Tx and one to Rx to get music from the tablet to play? Wiring is not an issue if I have to.

[@thesmartI]

Gave a like just for that last part xD oh and thanks for that magbak link

[@Yonktech]

I actually have the same setup minus the ipad in my vw tiguan, mainly only use the obd II for checking codes but dont use it that often because I can clear codes with my goapr tune. I also have a similar bluetooth aux device but im having the same issue you were having so im going to have to try that mod to keep it on all the time

[@Vinnyzero07]

Was there a reason you went with a Wifi obd instead of a Bluetooth one? Also what did you use for in cydia for the double tap wake.

[@ruben_12]

I imagine this channel taking off very soon... I mean, your videos are better than some 1M subscribers channels.

[@snazzy]

***** Wow. Muito obrigado! Too many kind words, Rúben! Stay snazzy!

[@AlexRobinett]

Great video! I have a similar setup! I was wondering how do you bypass the wifi from the obd-ii dongle. I am just using an iPhone! Thanks Quinn!

[@piachy]

where did you get that gauge mount that fits into the vent?

[@toshibavoodoo]

WOW, Im getting ready to buy a 2009 MX5 Miata and was planning on doing the say thing with it. It has the same unimpressive old school radio, and I want to see info from the OBD and have already made plans on the same set up. Thanks for the magnet option, was going to install brackets or clips, but your option is way better. Would like to see more about combining tech in cars as I really want to expand the driving experience. I haven't address the glair issue with the top down but was leaning tword the ipad mini, but like Android just as much so still researching Loved this video, please expand on it with updates!!! Welcome home, Good to see your channel up and running with great content.

[@snazzy]

toshibavoodoo Thanks so much for watching! Those Miatas are fun! I'l be sure to post any updates as I make them. Stay snazzy!

[@narithlot]

how do I find the fuse for the center console? I also want to set up a constant current

[@jacktrav5]

I looked up the magback mini and only saw a magback made for iPad 3 and 4. Does that work for iPad mini 1st gen?

[@Largorn]

Congratulations, you now have an always on bluetooth device that slowly drains your battery and a Wifi network without password, that makes your OBD II interface available to everyone near your car

[@slow_rednline4874]

Yeah kinda dingy

[@tdralex]

i can't find obd turbo from the App Store

[@PaulBradfordTech]

Very cool video!

[@omarcorrea]

Nice setup, cool video.

[@snazzy]

Omar Correa Thanks, Omar!

[@Deadpool3722]

Wow you have a boost guage. Nice!

[@tylerm980]

Can I use the Bluetooth transmitter if I have an fm transmitter that I use as an aux cord?

[@MikeTheSith200]

Can you tell me why Magbak works better than a flat wizgear magnetic mount for $11?

[@sdgupt]

Couldn't find obd turbo app, can you please post a link or an alternate app?

[@billkaroly]

This is cool. I've been researching head units for my 2010 Ford Escape. It kinda irks me that all of the 10" units use 1024*600 IPS displays. I would pay an extra $100 for a better screen. An 8" 1280*800 would work for me but your little $85 setup is interesting. Problem is the car already has a crappy Bluetooth. I would do this in a Samsung tablet. What I'd like to do is take a 10" unit and swap out the screen for a better one. I wonder if the built in GPU could handle it?

[@OliverLopezF]

Cool! i use a similar bluetooth set-up in my car, the downside is that it doesnt have a center console so you can see the cable and stuff, but it blends in nicely the only downside is that i have to remove it and charge it every week or so, not such a big deal to be true. Cool video dude i can't believe that you're getting snazzier and awesomer, now there'll be the fab 6, Austin, Marques, Lew, Michael, Jonathan and you:) i said it before and you guys are like The Beatles... but with 2 extra guys. Lol.

[@snazzy]

Oliver Lopez Maybe you could run a constant current to the receiver and then affix it under the dash or somewhere that is unseen but also always powered so that your phone will stay connected. Idk, it's worth a shot! And thank you so much for the kind words. I have a long ways to go before I start producing content like them, but I surely wouldn't mind! LOL. Stay snazzy!

[@SpArTaNmAnR]

Can you make a video of your car please? Like a tour of your car or something

[@mujjuman]

hey man, i wana try this. is your ipad the data version? i just wanna be able to use bluetooth and google maps. so i dont need the obd2 connector right?

[@AuF5guy]

Snazzylabs this is awesome!!!!! ny recommendations on how i could use my samsung tab 3 tablet in my 2010 camry?

[@ThemelisPikos]

Ah, and it's manual. Way to go, sir!

[@snazzy]

Themelis Pikos Of course! Stick is what real men drive.

[@justinmichael6406]

I just have the stock touch screen radio that came on my tahoe and a Isimple blutooth that i hooked up. good set up for $45

[@raajsuriyaroychoudhury1587]

Did you mean OBD Fusion when you said OBD Turbo? Can't find the app OBD Turbo on the store

[@handas2]

Can you review a remote starter?

[@melrich2124]

Have a new Chevy L83 in a 1972 Chevy C10 and don't want to spend $1,400 for Dakota Digitals. They have blank guage bezels where I can install a small IPad. Two questions would be: Is the OBD2 bluetooth in your video good enough and can you pair two IPads to one bluetooth?

[@xNickerishx]

What was that app called you used to see the car info on your ipdad

[@erikerik3385]

I use also that receiver but with Bluetooth, and with the smart control app, maybe there is on ios also

[@352lambo]

Awesome vid!! I had to subscribe..

[@themaddruggist5366]

Would love to do this.

[@killercake90]

sick I'm doing this to my fd!

[@Duk3ster]

iv got a 2007 gti and im looking to get a new dash so this was really helpful, quinn what other mods do you have other than the boost gauge?

[@snazzy]

Duk3ster Custom cold air intake, Bilstein sport package, and APR Stage 1. Looking to jump to Stage 2 or 3 though. Not cheap, however.

[@Alex4SiliconValley]

How did you get WiFi on your iPad mini ? Did you use your iPhone? How do you hookup an iPhone to an iPad mini for WIFI? Is there a video on how to do this? I have an iPhone and iPad.

[@KarimGabrony]

Can it be done with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8" T705 ?

[@cristianoricardo5117]

Muito bom. infelizmente aqui no brazil e muito difícil encontrar produtos assim. Parabéns

[@jesselouie87]

Hi i would like to check if anyone knows an hud capable app using the bluetooth obd2 for ipad. I would rather set it up as an hud. Thanks

[@JohnnyFTD]

I saw a post on reddit a while back called 'I installed a Nexus 7 in my car, it looks awesome!' and ever since I've been thinking of doing the same thing. While it will be a permanent mod I need to make sure it will be put to use by me since I've been thinking of getting a new car.

[@snazzy]

JohnnyFTD See, that's my issue. I know that if I was going to install something into the dash, I couldn't help myself but spend several thousand dollars more upgrading the speakers and amps. I'd do it if I knew this car was going to be my car for a long, long time. But I have nearly 70k miles on it, it's 6 years old, and so I may turn it within the next year. We'll see.

[@mzm281279]

Hi will the mount fit an iPad mini gen 1

[@MrKhurramasif]

Still no back camera working for you ?

[@MattyGorm]

Quinn you should check out Carplay Activator which is an upcoming jailbreak tweak. I know you said you're not a fan of Carplay but this tweak seems worth a try.

[@snazzy]

Spoons The Entertainer I'll be interested to see how it works out, but from what I understood, you cannot add apps to the CarPlay homescreen, right? If so, that's a big no-no for me because I need TIDAL over Spotify.

[@MattyGorm]

I believe that if the app has a CarPlay version, it will add it to the CarPlay homescreen

[@seamuswarren]

Hello, Is an Automotive Dead Reckoning (GNSS?) solution available with this device? As GPS connectivity is not always available, it would be useful if my iPhone using Google Maps or perhaps a Garmin-type device or an aftermarket integrated Sat Nav system could access vehicle telemetry to continue navigating through these satellite connectivity blindspots in tunnels, carparks or canyons of buildings. Many thanks, Seamus. :)

[@solosailorsv8065]

Impressive, even at twice the price. but..... What are the Skill Sets you tapped for this? (difficulty level question) 1) Jail Break tablet 2) any programming? 3) fiberglassing? ( i think the tablet 'just fit' with magnets? 4) re-wire the car's power, USB, and? thanks 5) all those Great Graphic displays are in the $9.99 app? I'm doing a Python gauge set on a Rasp_Pi and its A LOT OF WORK! thanks!

[@RoninDusette]

I have a dasaita android head unit. It cost like just under 500 shipped came with a backup cam, canbus module built in, Bluetooth, wifi, android 9, running a px6 rockchip arm processor with 8 cores and 4gb of ram, and I think 128 gb of storage, gps extension, mic, and everything was 100% plug and play. For me, I have a lot of custom electronics installed, but for my cruze, everything form the bezel to the wiring harness just worked. Only took about 30 minutes to install total. Then I bought and installed a custom rom from malaysk, and run carwebguru with custom gestures and obdlink, torque, Spotify etc. Has 2 usb ports one of which is dedicated to my modified obdlink sx and the other is connected to a 4 port usb hub which feeds a splitter for 2 dash cams and the serial feed from my wideband. :)

[@Tom3c]

if you have an old car audio, you just need a xiaomi bluetooth transmitter so you can stream audio from your tab to your car

[@endereye32]

What's the music app you were using at 0:45

[@velerofodissvales7326]

Can I take it this for my mini one d?

[@Bangirang]

can you do a vid on your car, really interested to see your mods

[@oregonize503]

You have NO2 in there?

[@Mujibar010]

In the first minute or so, you sound a smidge like Captain Sparklez! Haha Greet from Utah

[@snazzy]

That is a complement! He has a great voice. Haha.

[@Pogost1ck]

No overly expensive magnets here - A grippy pad on the dash, my phone and an aux cable. The bluetooth OBDII dongles are available for

[@CoplandOS]

Listening to Within and Without by Washed Out I see, great album :) lol

[@snazzy]

Professor Smileyz You know it! Bought the vinyl back in 2012 before I even had a turntable. LOL.

[@aost1419]

I suggest also that you use hud speed meter or hud navig.... that also wil make it better becuse it is ipad and the scren is big enogh to show it clearly

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

Can you run Waze on it?

[@technologyproductions-ye3px]

is that a iPad 3

[@laurenzkohlhofer]

i got a navgear with android ios! its awsome, but i'm from europe so i don' know if these are available in the us...

[@sherweezy2408]

Can you connect an android tablet to it?

[@zacharyhinman4872]

I bought a joying head unit for my b5 s4 . I really like it . i bought it cuz it was $285 and it has a Intel quad core processor and a nice screen resolution and run stock Android

[@michaelpeacestewart]

can it be android or are we forced to use ipad

[@piercejustin0]

i have a custom radio and i have a 8gb flash drive with all my music but my car is not that new

[@Muzzled]

Very nice, I didn't even consider using a Jailbroken ipad Mini for anything other than watching movie on the bus or something.

[@snazzy]

Muzzled It's a pretty nice way to make the iPad more "car friendly."

[@taufeeqahmed1]

Hey mate will the obd work with a 2001 toyota camry LE. I wasnt sure.

[@lukefowlie3204]

+Taufeeq A Kashtwari I'm pretty sure that all cars made after 1996 were required to have obi support so you should be fine, but I'm sure you could look it up and see.

[@MichaelNNguyen]

Now that is awesome.

[@snazzy]

MacMike1000 Thank you, good sir! ;D

[@ameyagundale]

Didnt quite understand how ipad would get power

[@pbmig]

what about oil temp

[@ZiggyGood]

I have an Si nav but I want it to be Bluetooth

[@ajbax96]

installed a basic aftermarket kenwood radio in my car, replaced the 4 speakers and added two 12" subs

[@snazzy]

AJ Baxter Not a bad way to go!

[@hammatime94]

tried driving as erratically as you could.. in a golf.. hahaha fml

[@technologyproductions-ye3px]

will this work with a 2010 Samsung tab

[@magnuswf]

Yes, I'm sure it would, as long as it has bluetooth

[@jonbozzy9600]

How laggy is it?

[@Koza1151]

You have to put your ipad away everytime you get out your car or someone will break your window.

[@0932steve]

Yup and even if you have a lock on the ipad you can still easily bypass it

[@tmuxor]

Ken Li , it's on magnets so that's easy. Also, unless you're a courier you're not getting in and out of your car too much

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

A lot of OBD-II modules exist, do they all do the same thing? I noticed the prices vary drastically.

[@tomhum996]

I got a bluetooth one for my android phone off ebay for $10 and haven't come across anything it can't do with the Torque Pro app

[@AphexPk]

***** i work with cars and ECUS Daily the Torque app is very handy.

[@snazzy]

Colton Blumhagen They're all pretty similar. You may find increased reliability with pricier ones, but mine was a cheap $15 one and it works excellently. Just be sure to get a Bluetooth one if you're on Android (Bluetooth ones are quite a bit better) and if you're on iOS, you'll need to get a Wi-Fi enabled one.

[@snazzy]

***** Brainless Gaming I used Torque back when I was on Android and I liked it a lot.

[@S4Swadhin]

And for 50$ a steering mounted bluetooth handsfree to control the music playback and calls.

[@mattconner11]

Why can't you update a 5yr old car?

[@Pixlbyter]

Awesome video Quinn! Personaqlly, I won't be doing this (I have an iPad 1 and I don't want to upgrade because I'm cheap like that) and I'm stuck with myFordTouch (ewww)

[@snazzy]

myFordTouch? Oh no....

[@Pixlbyter]

Snazzy Labs Thinking about upgrading to an aftermarket system with android auto since I use android, but I think maybe this might be a little bit less expensive.
