💬 How to use your smart phone with Elite Series ECU - Haltech DIY

[@squareonepa]

@haltech please make a mobile app to use with this setup!! It would be super useful and would love to see one made!

[@marcjerry5604]

Instablaster...

[@seanbrophy9096]

u weren't joking about a few big revs.

[@angus3963]

DashCommand also does Data logging, DC developer supplies a free to download viewer to go through the data afterwards, been using them both for a few years now, great app!

[@pcfronin]

Nice to see a proper speed ODBII link, wish all other ECU makers did that. My Triumph 675 responds like dial up

[@evoseven9011]

Will this with work with platinum?

[@nspnutritionsportsperforma6804]

Hi, I've got a 93 RZ Supra, which is OBD1. If I upgrade to this ECU, and add this adaptor, will I be able to connect my Android phone to it for apps like Torque Pro to run?

[@PhMotorsports]

What wifi/bluetooth module do you recommend?

[@danielgrace7408]

hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You Scott!!!!

[@christopherjosecabrerarome5055]

Please tell us the part number or the name of the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth conector for obd2 that you are using

[@BuiltByRik]

I have purchased the Elite 2500 (not arrived yet) and I was advised that using pinout is the easiest option. ( I am a total noob at this) My question is that if I do this will the OBD2 plug in the car still work or not?

[@tptrsn]

Is this something that can still be done with the Nexus generation units, specifically the Rebel LS?

[@ElliotSTR]

@haltech please ressurect this to allow the app to work with Elites!

[@trentmcswift1]

Hi team, Does this work with the barra plug and play elite unit? Thanks

[@boastfulboost8295]

Does it work on the platnium series?

[@tonytighttucker]

if I have the elite 2500 in my car with the wideband sensor connected to the can do I have to unplug that to hook up the OBD II connection to it or is there another device I can add to it so the wideband can still be connected when I connect the OBD2 connection to it do you have a part number for any item I have to add

[@Simonstockton82]

so what are the main differences between using the CAN port with an OBD2 reader and say a large smart phone or tablet as a 'dash' and the ic7 dash? Like it seem like I could get everything though an app that i would need as it will all be coming through the OBD2 reader via the CAN port? Just wondering because im currently building a turbo 5SFE celica that i will run with an elite ECU and it seems like with that i can pull all the same data i can via the OBD2 in my 2020 supra?

[@2slofouru]

I tried this app and just shuts down over and over. Is there any reason we can't use most other bluetooth obd2 apps? I also tried the torque app earlier and it would never connect to the ecu. The way I wired it was with an obd2 connector wired to the can H and can L pins on the elite. The bluetooth adapter shows it's communicating with the haltech and it connects to my phone, but shows no data or error codes, of which there are six. ??

[@haltech]

Hey there, your best bet would be to contact our tech support on [e-mail]. One of our tech guys will be able to go through it with you and help you figure out what the problem is.

[@5hu7o]

Would this work with other multi function obd2 gauges? not like the one in the video but like the generic square ones with lcd eg. defi zd

[@tonytighttucker]

If I have the how take elite 2500 series eCU with the wide band connected to it can I still use this cable to check my engine codes

[@2slofouru]

Will they interface with some touch screen audio decks? There is a company that makes an obd2 interface for vehicles and allows access to most if not all details of the vehicle system, can't remember the brand but my friend's using one to interface his vehicle with his pioneer navi deck. I may upgrade my kenwood to a double din version if it means I can connect easier than by using my phone. No bluetooth to deal with and less cluttered dash.

[@CarlosOsorioCARLOSJR]

So on the vehicle set up what kind a car u select because for a Toyota Supra connect. But doesn’t work and I have a haltech 2500

[@StigArneSolheim]

If using the 750, is it possible to read out the analog inputs that are userdefined? I i for example have oil pressure...

[@metaomicron72]

Can I use my laptop and a USB-OBD2 wire and get the same information? What software should I use?

[@matiasosoriokroon7529]

I want the same information .

[@9h0eme]

When using the 6 CAN hub is it possible to connect this since the connector used is different.

[@Skyline-tj4dz]

Are these available on all haltech elite ecu or only specific models?

[@ShootsVal]

Great work with OBD2! Nice to see the standalone EMS being OBD2 compatible. One little question here -- the app showed the MAF sensor reading 0.0, so is Elite 2500 MAF compatible? Can't find info about that but can see that some models (like ECU for GT-R R34) are compatible indeed.

[@haltech]

Yes, the Elite 2500 supports up to two MAF sensors, if that’s your preferred tuning method.

[@ryanburgos-jimenez7344]

would this work on a 94 rx7? it is ob1, @ is the installing plug & play?

[@andreavgr]

I know you guys bought Adaptronic. I have a modular m2000 on my FD rx7. Are you guys planning to make the modular OBD2 compatible?

[@haltech]

Yes we did, but they still operate as two separate companies.

[@davidjteo]

If my car has all the required US emissions controls, is it possible to pass USA OBDII emissions testing with this ECU?

[@danman2991]

If that actually ends up being possible (waiting for haltech's response) I may be in for a 2500

[@freestyleskyline]

They can't legally say yes even IF it technically does

[@tonytighttucker]

what is the part number of the haltech cable for the OBD2 port

[@michaelevans7013]

The link to the OBD cable lands on a 2020 Christmas promotion page.

[@ShootsVal]

Maybe a bit strange question, but still... How does OBD2 support work? Does tuner have to set parameters for each code manually or there is some other way how ECU determines when to throw a CEL?

[@haltech]

If engine protection is enabled, settings will be available to change the DTC conditions. Some DTC’s however are hard-set (eg. ‘no home signal’).

[@ellzbmx]

Is there a name for the can end of the cable, I want a cable for this but the haltech one is too long at 6ft or even a pin out to make a diy one

[@haltech]

OBDII to CAN cable. You can make one using Haltech elite pin kit.

[@sameldiablo3583]

hi guys..i bought an OBDII but while connecting it to my Nissan March it does not connect to tje ECU...what can be done..any help pls??

[@woleadu2571]

I used the HT-135000 cable but the OBD2 does not seem to be working. OBD2 readers are not able to link. Is there some setting on the ECU that has to made or should this just always work? Thanks.

[@haltech]

You will need to configure the CAN port to broadcast OBD2 - this is found in your ESP Software under Main Setup > Devices.

[@danielquiroz2927]

Is it possible to save/store the data into the smartphone memory ?

[@tonytighttucker]

do I have to buy the haltech cable to connect to the haltech or I can use the Wi-Fi dongle straight to my original OBD2 port so I can read the ECU

[@haltech]

You will need a cable but you don't have to necessarily buy it from Haltech. You can use a generic one.

[@federicobelo1281]

I have a question. Alright, i've purchased the cable and the wifi dungle however when i try to connect it with the dashcommand app it will show a message that says something about protocol. Could this be due to that my tuner has the tune locked ?

[@haltech]

Give our tech support guys a call or email [e-mail] they should be able to help you out.

[@bhaktha3787]

I notice on haltech page for elite 750 it says on-board data logging but for elite 1000(yes elite1000) is OBDII Compatible - Set and clear diagnostic trouble codes, view live engine data.what r the difference.

[@haltech]

These are two different things, and both on-board logging and OBDII are supported on both E750 and E1000 ECU’s. Onboard data-logging allows the ECU to store ECU parameters in its internal memory, which can then be downloaded to a laptop to be reviewed. OBDII broadcasts data in real-time, while also sending DTC’s (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

[@76Bushy]

@@haltech I have this obd2 cable where do I plug it in on a elite 750 ?

[@mattwilson5185]

can you still do this if you have a wideband controller plugged in to the CAN port? without a hub? Elite 1500. thanks

[@haltech]

Yes you can - on all two-connector ECUs , so definitely yes on the E1500.

[@woleadu2571]

does the case still remain water proof if a HT-135000 cable is used?

[@haltech]

The Elite 1500/2500 requires caps placed over the USB ports if removing the front cover. If connecting via the main ECU connectors, you can retain the front cover.

[@tonytighttucker]

where can I get this haltech can Network to OBD2 connector for this setup .

[@haltech]

You can get it from our online store: www.haltech.com/online-store/

[@theSEGAtwistisover9k]

now this makes wonder if I need to spend the extra money one the IC-7?? 🤔 I always thought OBD2 apps had to much lag to be useful for gagues?

[@kmilosto]

I have a haltech e6x in My car i can put the OBDII in this system?

[@haltech]

OBDII compatibility is only available on the Elite Series.

[@jessitzhaki7501]

​@haltech I have a haltech elite 750 so only one can input for my wideband.. thus can't do this 😢😢😢

[@ClioManFuz]

Why don't you guys have a built in Bluetooth adaptor so you can just use your phone as the gauge? And possibly check codes and log data all from your phone or tablet. Hondata Kpro V3 does this so well and the information is updated almost instantly. I don't get why an ecu which costs almost 3 times as much can't provide the same option.

[@mdnovaman]

Because they want you to buy the ic-7. They will no doubt never make a proper app as it’ll make there expensive dashes obsolete.

[@ClioManFuz]

@@mdnovaman i know lol i wanted them to admit it or atleast come up with a good enough excuse xD

[@lord-REDACTED-]

can this be done with the ps1k, 2k?

[@haltech]

OBDII compatibility is only available on the Elite Series.

[@lord-REDACTED-]

+haltechecu thanks for the reply and info!

[@MrSurchargeur]

Is it possible with the elite 750??

[@haltech]

Yes you can, however keep in mind that Elite 750 is a single connector ECU and you will be assigning it to your wi-fi/bluetooth module. So then you wouldn't be able to run any other CAN devices like a dash, wideband etc... We usually recommend these with a a two-connector ECUs - ie E1000 and upwards.

[@festa289]

@@haltech if I use a CAN hub, can I then run multiple devices from the single port on elite 750, Ie: wideband and Bluetooth dash, or is this a limitation of the ECU?

[@eduardosalinas7911]

Is it possible with the elite 550?

[@felixyoung1875]

can i wire my touchscreen radio on my ecu ?

[@hadisantoso4264]

Is it compatible for elite 550?

[@haltech]

Compatible with all Elite series ECUs.

[@danielquirozhernandez318]

Does it work on Elite 750 Haltech ECU?

[@haltech]

It does, however keep in mind on a single connector ECU like the 550, 750, 950 you only have one CAN port so you can only run one device at a time - so if you're running a wideband controller for example you won't be able to use the OBDII.

[@markavramovic111]

@@haltech why isn't this mentioned in the video as important content? I think it's important to know it doesn't work with ECU's with only one CAN channel. I myself fell into the trap of purchasing the Bluetooth dongle etc, download the software onto my phone and stuff around for an hour trying to make it work. Time and money wasted. Not happy Jan.

[@NateDaGreat808]

I got a platinum ecu... can I do this????

[@haltech]

Unfortunately not - OBDII broadcast is only available on the Elite ECU range.

[@regularguy8592]

cool

[@goodkill1]

seriously considering using a tablet instead of gauge cluster now for my rx7 swap.

[@jkflorida]

The Nexus 7 is perfect for a tablet dash setup! And it's cheap.

+JKFlorida I'll look into that. you may see my rx7 prowling the streets of Florida in December.

[@jkflorida]

goodkill1 I can't wait! Where in Florida?

[@goodkill1]

+JKFlorida North central, she should be running around at least n/a by December

[@markavramovic111]

Cant do this with an ECU with only one CAN channel. Elite 750 has only one channel. Bought stuff to get it going only to find it didn't work. That's just poor disclosure. Please state compatibility. That's Haltech's responsibility to their customers I would have thought.

[@G.J.G.P.]

I wanted to use an exhausst system, which is controlled by an app using obd2 data ( throttle position, rpm...) , but i have a s13 with a rb26dett working with nissan consult. So its not possible. If i would use your platinum series ecu, would i be able to use the exhaust, bacause the platinum series ecu has CAN bus?

Short of dash mounting a windows tablet and setting up a tab in ecu manager for displaying when driving....., is their anything similar to Dash command available for the platinum PnP's?

Unfortunately the OBDII compatibility is only available on the Elite Series.

[@Mr5KYLINE]

would it be possible to add OBDII compatibility like this to the PnP Platinum Pro ECU's in the future via a software update?

[@willsoon801]

can anyone connect to it and pair with it or is their some sort of security or password because the could be a serious problem

you can set your password on the wi-fi or bluetooth module.

yer name isn't scott

[@hks071]

why would people pay 1k on the ip3 dash when u can do this

[@haltech]

They both aimed at different things, IQ3 does provide a lot more information and is a lot more appropriate for race applications, but for street tuned cars, you're right, this is a simpler and more cost effective solution.

[@richardlockwood999]

because dash command now requires access to your phone contacts so they can spam your friends/customers. :/

[@daveperryLXXVII]

let me guess. doesn't work on PS1000

Sorry you will need an Elite Series ECU to take advantage of that feature.
