CAR AUTOMATION with your Android Phone: OBDLink LX

[@mondobytes]

In this video, I will show you how to control many parts of your car with your Android phone!

[@rajannakarmi]

Does it let you start the car? *****​

[@KelvinPeralta]

rajan nakarmi He said for some possibly yes

[@mondobytes]

rajan nakarmi​ on certain vehicles it does, in my case it doesn't. The car detects to see if my key is inside the car, hence why I couldn't lock myself out. So because it doesn't detect a key, it won't remote start.

[@phaetonx8784]

Dead bodies lol ....nice Phone I have the HK v.

[@ElmerBautista]

***** Did you accidentally throw the phone in instead of the keys? lol. Anyway, great video, and thanks for sharing.

[@PhobosTV1]

first of all, great car. PERIOD

[@klasmedak556]

pfff, automatic

[@MuquitaTheBeast]

Nissan? great lolz.

[@jyothikarnavar]

Remote engine start and AC controls will be great features to have in this app. So u will have a cool car waiting for u out there in the hot

[@vicoussoulja]

Wow you are awesome always showing the technology that people always miss. I am definitely buying this. Keep up the great work. Cheers

[@mondobytes]

Thanks man!

[@EmreKonca]

Is it possible to turn on the lights or other controls while driving? Or only when motor off?

[@jablik96]

I like these type of videos! you should make them more often so it doesn't take much time away from you and we can enjoy more of your content! :D

[@mondobytes]

Thanks Santiago Hinojosa if I get a good feedback I may do more :)

[@jablik96]

awesome! I hope more people like them as well (:

[@konikuz]

***** more of these please, awesome video

[@jyothikarnavar]

Watched this video again and surprised to see my own comment before 3 years ☺️. One problem with Bluetooth dongle is that i cannot pair the car stereo using the same phone. Wifi dongle will be the best alternative.

[@360_SA]

can you start the car with your apps I have seen a key in the app?

[@sushigaming101]

I just bought some of the commands for a 2013 Altima and it works great! Is there a function that will let me remote start? The actual key for the car does have remote ignition if that makes a difference.

[@CoIdplayer]

Hey Armando! In theory the Torque App could support Android Auto and it should be possible to show all of this directly on an Android Auto head unit (like e.g. the Pioneer AVIC-4100NEX). Have not found any hints that the app will support Android Auto in the near future. Any ideas from your side regarding this?

[@SikWitThiz]

Nice I'll be getting one for my 2012 Maxima

[@ricardoatorres5001]

JayWheelz how was it. I also have a 2012 max

[@drjones694]

Great video I've been looking for something like this for when the check light comes on

[@bornjamerican52]

Gracias Armando! I just received my obdlink and connected to my 2012 maxima and it works perfectly . Now I'm going to download the remote ex app.. thanks again for the video 👍🏽

[@mondobytes]

+F Griffiths You bet!

[@bornjamerican52]

Armando Ferreira bBuenos días! Which one is for the fog lights off the remote ex? Is it the one that reads fog lamp Thanks

[@kingdavid6290]

I have a 2012 Max. Really liked your video and definitely will be ordering soon. along with necessary apps. you're right about the package deal also.

[@AntonKrall]

Great video! I always enjoy seeing what you are doing with automation

[@IDR1219]

Car looks good Armando! I regret not getting the gum metal wheels on my Maxima.

[@mondobytes]

I had to get the Sport package :) Wish the wheels were a bit wider but they are nice for being stock.

[@jkattz1]

***** do you still have your audi from past videos or did you sell it?

[@YaBoiiiNikki]

Would the advanced features somehow work on a BMW E46?

[@ssnator69]

Can you start your nissam maxima 2014 woth this OBDLink?

[@DarrenBecker]

I love this video! I look forward to many more Armando!

[@El_Twin]

Great video man!

[@EdduMota]

Nice. Now imagine your going out tonight, you leave your home and disconnect from Wi-Fi, tasker sets Wi-Fi off and starts testing nearby Bluetooth, once it is in range it unlocks the car, turns on the lights. Once your connected to the car BT tasked triggers an intent for waze to start navigation on the fastest route to your destination...if you can think it , you can do it

[@MrPacMan36]

What is your headlight and fog light set up? Love how the dogs start yellow and fade to green. And the blue headlights are nice

[@gonzalo8642]

I do have the torque app and I would love to see what you could do with it. Great video, makes me want to get a Nissan

[@Aidio95]

The Bluetooth and wifi versions are actually for different phones; the Bluetooth one doesn't work with iPhones because of firmware limitations put in place by Apple.

[@maximjones1446]

Good work. It is very comprehensive

[@tomtravers7127]

I have a Lincoln Continental with a Ford 4.6, a Buick Lacrosse with GM 3800 L26, and Pontiac Grand am with GM L32 and Bluetooth works on all three cars comfirmed.

[@sandyjj3338]

my father has a VXDAS nexzscan ,it works so well and cheaper than OBDLINK,I’d like to see a comparison of VXDAS Nexzscan and obdlink, along side dealer-level or shop diagnostic tools for fairness.

[@BCJDM]

Nice Maxima Armando!

[@bassil2022]

it will be useful if it turns the car on. I can see myself using it in the winter. Does it do that?

[@mahboob2t]

I neeeeed one ;D

[@bassil2022]

Mohammed Mahboob I have OBD that reads the fault codes only. It is handy and i like it.

[@djkidd786]

Great video. Unrelated topic, but where did you get the roof and logos done in black? Is it vinyl or plasti-dip? I'm also in the SoCal area and I'm looking to get some stuff done to my '15 lexus.

[@ericschraud5619]

Does this remote start BMW's or Audi's too?

[@franzeroque1999]

Eric Schraud probs won't work on audi considering they use vagcom

[@SonnyCantu]

What is the bluetooth range? For instance, if you are in a store/restaurant/home and it is really cold outside and you want to start your car to get it warm, how far away can you be before it loses connection?

[@mondobytes]

It's not far, if you're inside your house it shouldn't be a problem. If you're in a store restaurant I don't think it would work unless you're about 150-200 feet away from the car. If you want range, go for the Wifi version.

[@dunworry]

you cant start the car with this app :)

[@mondobytes]

dunworry nope, you need a different app. Sadly, it's only for specific vehicles and mine isn't one.

[@niqhtt]

***** only the newest cars are going to have this level of access exposed from the body control computer. I can't do most of this in 99% of cars with our $9000 Snap-On scanner.

[@milan2k11]

***** don't you have the factory remote start in your car? I have a 2014 Altima and have remote start.

[@rocketboy3rk]

Car looks great bro. Quick question for you. Did you plasti dip the roof and chrome accents or did you paint?

[@mondobytes]

+Kevin Persaud Vynil wrapped.

[@nicolasmango290]

Amazing video and car. Congratulations :)

[@peterabujaber]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I have the same car with the same obd adapter and both of these apps, all worked great except for the unlock feature and trunk opening feature, if I unlocked the car using the Remote EX app my alarm will go on, how did you manage to overcome this issue?. Thanks in advance.

[@MegaUkev]

Armando this is great where can I get that will it work with a 2008 Dodge Avenger what's the name of the app with the controls?

[@skitzofranicfreak]

Will this work for an 03 altima? All the features you showed on this video?

[@bkzdrpapi]

nice max and awesome video.... keep em coming bro.

[@AldoTrilla]

Great video and car Armando

[@pepzi_]

I bought an adapter for my Civic '97 earlier this year, Sadly my car doesn't have an ODB port. Did some research, and found out it depends on what country the car was manufactured in.

[@jpeepsjr]

yo.. did you use plasti dip to do your window sil .. pant over all the chrome? or did you have a shop paint it?

[@THEiLLESTx]

Is there a Remote ex available for BMWs?

[@sethm.6959]

I really like your setup...I'm purchasing a 2010 model. Any help you can give me to make it look like yours?

[@James382aa]

Awesome video man

[@lorenzomiluso6474]

That works for all tipe cars? And is the one you can change the millage?

[@C0lonel5]

Where does the dongle supply itself with energy from when the car is off? Also is it detrimental to the car? Good video Btw.

[@haard7panchal]

The video is quite good and very informative as well but you have extreme focusing issues with this type of setup fix that and it's a go keep up to good work I am a long time fan of yours

[@lulucris97]

Please way more of such videos :)

[@mahbubremo3845]

Nice presentation also. Thanks

[@mks07866]

Can you share if there is a Land Rover version of this app? If not, who can I contact if they can make one? Great video!

[@bullet07104]

hi i like it but which one is better wifi or bluetooth and were can i check for my car i have a 2008 subaru tribeca

[@AkillerBe]

It's super cool ! I love the idea ! But as you sais the developer will need to check couples things on prices

[@KenMkickashmods]

Wow..nice stuff...I also have a vehicle with 99 thousand extras...but this tool would allow me to not pay the $10 U-Connect fee...and have just about all the tools I need..like unlock especially...I cant really lock myself out by leaving the keys inside...but I can lose my keys and need to get in my Truck...and the diagnostics would enable me to know what up before going to the shop...NICE....One confusing point...was the Nisan app...are there apps for all makes and models?...If not then a waste of time other than having diagnostics...I really dont need to double my Tachometer lol...and you didnt give any kind of pricepoint on the main box that plugs in...I guess the link will take me there..Thanks Armondo

[@Travionsayles]

Where did you get those head lights . I’ve been looking for them

[@OviWanKeno9i]

Awesome. I wonder if it works for my 13 WRX STI. I had it pro tuned using a device that connects to the OBD2 port. Would be awesome to have a smartphone remote starter. Hehe

[@tobibader]

Great video, this is awesome stuff! :)

[@TheBofares9]

Dose it work with any obd scanner tools or just with obdlinke ex ?

[@vq_wolfy4306]

Are you able to turn on the car with that app?

[@tfaulk88]

Hey man how did you black out your handles, decals and handles did you use plastidip or vinyl or something else?

[@mondobytes]

Tommy Faulkender Vinyl wrapped

[@tfaulk88]

Armando Ferreira cool thanks man

[@zr2ee1]

i could see this being a lot more useful if it allowed you to lock and unlock automatically as you approached or departed the vehicle, or let you set macro's for certain scenarios. biggest problem i had with the bluetooth OBD dongle was it would kill my battery after several days

[@marchfriday8467]

Very interesting to further my hunch of my stalkers running my car to even steering. 2 cars in this high school parking lot mine and parked one 200 feet away. There's no fucking I'm on the Truman show an not getting paid because I drove car at slow speed and sure enough when I got to about 20 feet from other car in this giant lot hands off the steering creeps a little literally tyr itself into directly into the passenger front tire dead on.fuck that

[@batterynerd8779]

@@marchfriday8467 damn

[@Rebelsin]

Can you set time to start your car automatically with this? I'm looking for something that will start my car in the morning to heat up my car in the winter while i get ready.

[@Daybreaker16]

Hi does this still work and can you remote start a car with it? Just a plug and play deal or what?Please respond

[@Grind.Harder77]

does your car have to have remote start for the remote start feature to work

[@TreCookin]

is there one that can be used for the iphone ? and this is all done with the car being off ?

[@TheMrjackson40]

How come you didn start your car? Can u start your car with obdlink lx or it has to be mx model ?? Plz reply I just purchased lx

[@ll1881ll]

Good video. Please stop asking : what’s up?

[@otakukj]

Does leaving that obd2 thing plugged in drain your car battery a lot?

[@mondobytes]

No, it uses very little battery and I mean very little. I went to Hawaii and was gone for 8 days, came back car fired right up.

[@phanisainath1371]

Hei man great job. Just want to know i can find an application similar to that one you are using for indian manufactured car like Maruthi suzuki baleno

[@GDBAKED81]

Did you already have remote start on the max?

[@gordongreenhurst9440]

so i would have to be within range then to use this? Im looking for more a cell service based one that i can start my AC from the building.... Its about a half mile walk to my car every day and its Arizona lol

[@prodigym]

Do you have to be close to the car for it to start and turn off?

[@RSRPRO]

Hey great video.I'm told remote ex is not compatible with my notebook 5 android...any suggestions?

[@faridgulabli3199]

Hi Armando. I have not bought this adapter but I think. But as a matter of fact I would like to buy this adapter especially for it's remote function as locking/unlocking doors turning on/off headlights and fog lights by the way is possible turning on/off engine remotely? My questions are 1. you opened a new app calls Torque does it work with obd link lx bluetooth adapter? 2. I downloaded Torque app but there is no button remote ex for nissan or other car producer even there is no any interface like you show. may it cause from connection so I mean do I have to get adapter and connect my car with my phone for getting this functions in myapp? and you have wrote in your reply that there are many apps for remoting other car producer but I did not find app for mazda can you share it? mine is mazda 3 2014 thanks in advanced I wait you respond :)

[@coddias1]

Nice VQ35!

[@austinfehrer6574]

Would would be fantastic is if you could link the app through something like Tasker. For instance, log the information to an excel spreadsheet to track things like mileage, avg. trip time, ect..

[@kennedydesousaphotography5813]

Austin Fehrer I think you can connect it to triplog it tracks mileage, routes etc.

[@uittyman]

Any idea which might work on the 2008 toyota hilux diesel 2.5 turbo?

[@jablik96]

wow this is cool! nice video!

[@Abillah1]

Any idea which app is used to remote control આ vauxhall zafira?

[@faditest3931]

is there any way to control from far place by internet for example?

[@coryrideout455]

I really like the idea of this. I am a little put off by the fact that it says that remote start is enabled "on select models only." There doesn't seem to be a way to find out of my car supports remote start. I am also a little unsure if the "Saturn" brand is considered to be a "GM" model or not. Anybody have any advice on where to do research?

[@ethanmclean845]

So its now the end of 2017 so can you do all that cool stuff on a car other then a nissan?

[@GeloNegron]

Hey I have question, would this also allow for coding on your vehicle or no?

[@Xtragicfever]

Can you check the engine oil and engine oil level with this the OBGLink LX? I have a 2008 GMC Sierra.

[@SeanPTheGent]

im sure you could. you would just have to find the app that lets you do that. hes demonstrating car features through your phone. so you would have to find an app that gives you diagnostics for your car.

[@thedreamingtree9261]

Blue tooth is not more expensive than wifi. They cost the same to manufacture in this application. There are more advantages to the particular wifi 2525 ic they use for these but the average user wont know the difference. I will tell you that you if you're not a tech guru or at least have a techy best friend you need to get the bluetooth version. If you're using a smartphone or tablet that is NOT your primary phone then you should get a wifi version. If you connect via wifi, your phones mobile data network doesnt work because it thinks you're on wifi. There are a couple of work arounds at least on the Android OS but they're pretty advanced setting changes. On the flipside, pairing to this thing via bluetooth causes the same issue with the hands free phone and audio you're normally paired with while driving. Best solution is to use an old spare phone or purchase a cheap data ready tablet.

[@NSolution]

Hey, what is your car for a Modell? Bj. 2016?

[@fedzalicious]

The engine doesn't need to be running. You just need the key in the on position. If your car's push to start, just press the start button without pressing the brake pedal.

[@Demboy_s]

Is it possible to download the app to your memory card or does it not allow it.

[@trg1408]

Is there anywhere I can go to see if this will work with my 2001 Toyota Camry?

[@thegiantgaming7592]

This seems really easy to hack into via a pretty sketchy (micro dlc) app like remote ex

[@martinfreeman6227]

Can you connect the OBDLink LX to two devices simultaneously ?

[@merjer57]

great job on the video

[@Moisesmora10]

Can you please make a full on review of your car detailed review thank you nice car.

[@zepolnavi]

Nice :) keep doing this videos..

[@antoniocesarscartezzini]

do you know if this would work for a motorbike (most specific a kawazaki z800)?

[@zahaidrahman2052]

Anything like that remote ex app for other cars?

[@Andra1530]

Nice video ❤️

[@graemeakerby]

Looks cool! Do you know an app for Mercedes-Benz controls?

can u pleas do a new review

[@tonyasolomon7932]

Iam outside the US, you know any remote applications like the romote ex that can work for me?

[@CarlosBC01]

Okay weird question may be valid. If it is a wifi version would it only be able to work around wifi? And if it dose why would it cost more? If so what would be the point...

[@mondobytes]

Wi-Fi version means that the module creates it's on Wi-Fi hotspot. So you're connecting to the module via Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth. It's faster, you get longer range and it's also the only way you can use it on an iPhone. iPhone users can't use Bluetooth version, I'm sure that's another reason why it cost more $$$. I can't imagine the components cost triple the amount.

[@CarlosBC01]

***** Okay, thank you kinda had me confused for a bit thanks for the reply keep up the good work :)
