265 Working OBD2 oil temperature

Doesn't sound promising.

 

Total newbie to all of this how do you get the data from car to phone, Bluetooth of do you need to link it to the port under the radio? Cheers

 

Ecu port

 

Depends on if you have an iphone or android or just a laptop , but basics are you need an OBDii reader that plugs into the diag/OBD port on your car under the radio and then a laptop or phone with appropriate software.

 

I've an android primarily, any recommendations for the readers, not to expensive I hope

 

Cheap should work: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLUETOOTH...tem338b305688&clk_rvr_id=620711927909&afsrc=1
Expensive.. I ordered this one myself:

Ordered this one in the end
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=331146001214

 

Can these clear service lights?

 

Would be interested to hear how it goes fella

 

Not bad, so practically buy a cheap odb2 bluetooth adapter, hook it up to the car, get a cheap android phone with carset, get torque app wit Renault addon and your good to go no need for fancy external added meters.. external meters are nice but the installation is probably not so easy.

 

Press and hold down the button on the right end stalk and switch the ignition on (don't turn the engine on) once you hold it down for about 10 - 20 seconds the service light should switch off

 

Excellent cheers mate ^

 

What odb port scanners are people using... i've read the slightly more expensive ones are quicker to respond with the app than the chraper ones??

 

I'll let you know how my gets on when it appears

 

Sales pitch or people justifying their purchase, never had issues with my cheap one and no perceivable delay other than that caused by the phone. They probably all run off the same chip inside and the only difference is the case/packaging and price.

 

Read this for comparison of the old Elm327 and the newer and more expensive STN1110:

Toube the one you have what protocol is that... elm or stn?

 

I ordered the stn but I haven't received it yet.

 

Does anyone know if this works on a 225??

 

Is that the one you posted earlier in this thread?

 

The STN version could be worth a purchase at some point in the future. Might try for a tablet install, probably a nexus 7 running torque.

 

Yes this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181367447627

 

I've got the Renault Advance plug in working and getting some feeds of it e.g. fuel % age left but I when I add engine oil temp it doesn't register a temperature. I have the laguna M4R engine selected and several of the feeds are working but not oil temp. Has anyone had this issue and able to suggest where I'm going wrong? Thanks

 

Thanks for response. The only RADV sensor I have in the list is "injector duty cycle". Do you have Laguna M4R as you car type? Not sure what else to try other than perhaps and reinstall..

 

Reinstalled. Now working :-) looking forward to testing in the morning...

 

Ordered a cheaper one off amazon about £12 to test this app.. is the renault adv necessary.. or is it mainly for the oil gauge?

 

Will still do 95% of everything without it, I guess the extra app/plugin just adds some specific PIDs which if you could be bothered to scan with the device you might find them anyway. Was going to do that myself but gave trying to get the panel off....

 

This is the one I got in the end

Anyone has this on his iPhone? Is the extra renault plugin only needed for oil temp? So if i'm right, this app does everything the Scangauge does?

 

I thought it was only an android app?

 

Anyone using this on a Galaxy note2.. if so anyone use the video recorder and what clamp you using to keep the phone steady?
