How do you power your tablet? Is it directly hardwired? Have you removed the battery?

[@foehammer2003]

Hi, it's discretely tucked out of the way to the cigarette lighter socket, so charges only when ignition is on in this car, some cars supply power all the time though. Battery on that tablet would last a week between charges if not in use. Hope that helps :)

bonjour, je pense avec macrodroide il a dû créer un scénario lorsque l’obd envoie le signal à la tablette elle sort de veille et lance l’app qui affiche les infos véhicule.

[@djalilderr2831]

Its amazing but its a bit slow recognition i see when u press the gass it shows first in your oem dash then after 1sec or so transfered to the digital dash Also can it be fitted permanently ? Im swapping my car engine putting an aim custom ecu but the aim display is so small 6inch only i want to use the tablet like u did but the info is a bit slow to show is there a reason why?

[@matk22]

the reason is due to latency. this latency is between the obd plug and the device, and then the app updating this information on the screen. this combination creates a second or so lag which is ok for general gauges and maybe even mph, but certainly not rpm

[@DavidSmith-fg6wg]

Will this work on a carbureted engine?

[@ignasv.2425]

Not really, even if your car has ecu its usually for ignition timing and it doesn't get much other input for your obd reader to see

Hi, if the car was stood for a week possibly, the Samsung tablet I used would last 4 or 5 days on standby. You can make the tablet turn off fully but you have to root your tablet, but you'd have to turn it on manually. I drive daily, or every other day at the very least, so not an issue for me.

[@eniolaolatunji5555]

Thank you for the information

[@bradcogan8588]

It's probably the ECU that has a slow refresh rate. Your main dash gauges will have independent high speed connections whereas the signals for everything else are just for monitoring and warning lights probably so don't need to be as high speed. Quick question - Can you connect to get Bluetooth device while using the dash or can it only do one at a time?

[@Raikolt]

It's most likely the obc2 unit itself. Because you're using a bluetooth (network connection), it likely cannot send all the events with data at a rate of like 10hz. It's probably throttling down the sending of events to around 1hz because that's all the network can handle. an obd2 unit with usb support would fix this issue if your ECU is not the problem

[@chewbacag914]

Nice work! Can you add an oil level, oil pressure, fuel pressure and coolant temp gauge and battery voltage gauge to the display?

[@foehammer2003]

Thanks! You can, it depends on both your ECU and the theme on the Realdash you choose or purchase supporting those gauges. You can customise your own though fairly easily once you get the hang on the editing layout.

[@aaronelder5080]

Nice work My car doesn't have obd port even though its fuel injected any help ty

[@Tulliocity]

I wish OBD was faster. So many cool things that you can get out of the ECU. But that refresh rate on the gauges is horrible. There is no way you would be able to use that as your primary gauge cluster with the RPM's only updating once a second!
