Some of the machines i've worked on have a similar setup...........plug in the laptop and then you can make all sorts of things happen,even to the point of shutting down cylinders definately good fun

Absolutely, i can run injector tests, shutdown cylinders etc, the UpRev software is pretty comprehensive and it's Mark from Abbey's fault i've got it

Well my Bluetooth Mini OBDII tool turned so i'll be looking at it today
Not sure I want to be shutting down cylinders though )

Let us know how you get on

It's supposed to be for loading testing, or something....

[JimmyM]

Yeah shutting cylinders down is only for testing usually done when an engine is running badly, you can eliminate faulty injectors and pinpoint problems quicker and easier.

I've just got a slap from Jo (wife) tried plugging the laptop into her, had no effect

i've never tried that myself, clearly not a good idea

Right, the conclusion is if you got a Bluetooth hardware, you are not going to get it working in an iPAD.

You will on an Android with a very cheap app called Torque Pro

But Apple seemed to want money for supporting the ELM Bluetooth kit
and no-one wanted to pay
