OBD2 Bluetooth Adapter
Hi All,
I've read that you can connect an OBD2 Bluetooth adapter and download an app on your phone to get all kinds of info while you drive. What kind of things can you do with them and what apps/adapters are best? Thanks! (I have an S60 by the way!) |

I use a couple of free apps on my Android phone and tablet downloaded from Google play, the 'Torque' app and the 'Car Scanner' app. The former is very easy to use for basic OBD2 code reading and deletion, while the latter also allows for comprehensive logging of sensor data including - when properly configured - DPF sensor data (including both soot and ash figures) plus the sump oil level sensor figure in mm.

You mentioned this in another topic and I'm keen to follow the same route. However, I have 2 questions that I hope you can help with. 1) Can the Bluetooth code reader be left plugged in all the time? 2) you say that DPF sensor data can be logged "when properly configured" . What does this mean and how is it done.? A brìef steer would be much appreciated. Boatie 2017 MY V90 D4 |

2) The 'Car Scanner' app has the option to set a 'connection profile', where an applicable Volvo profile was recently made available for the VEA engine. Without this certain VEA engine sensors were not accessible, although the 5-cylinder models worked fine. More info here... https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...=290526&page=2 I'm not sure about your model though, especially if it's an SPA?

Thanks for the info info Zebster, I'm glad Boatie asked about leaving it plugged in as I probably would have! Think I'll be buying an adapter
