Dear Friends,
I bought an MDA 2 (QTEK2020) and a wired XAIOX X3 GPS receiver and installed TOMTOM Navigator 3.01
The Xaiox is a rather new type I think (can receive up to 16 satellites)
I saw in the list of GPS Receivers that this brand XAIOX was not in, but on the website of Xaiox is mentionned that the gps protocol is NMEA 0183v3 compatible and you should pick 9600 baud rate.
In the TomTom list I saw NMEA 0183v2 9600 (version 2 only). I checked this one and waited 45 minutes,but didn't get any connection.
The field 'receive incomming beams' (like infrared,...) is set out,as i read this could block an incomming port like the receiver.
My Xaiox receiver has no lights,so I can't see any status. It had a serial cable out,and i bought a small piece to convert to USB, and this USB connects to a smaller type of usb on the bottom of the MDA2.
I'm not sure if I should choose 'Serial on Com1' or Serial on USB. But I tried both of them and still no connection. I also tried all of the other brands in the list like Destinator 3,SIRF 9600,TOMTOM,... but no connection.
This GPS receiver is brand new, and I tried it at home with power cable in, cause i the gps receiver had to load also. Also on the road no connection.
I updated to TomTom 3.03 but no change.
1>Is the GPS receiver NMEA protocol V3 too high for the one in the TomTom Navigator list (NMEA v2 only)?
2>Do I choose the wrong port or gps receiver model ?
3>Do I have to close phone connections in order to use GPS ?
I tried 'Turn Flight Mode Off' but it didn't work either...strange stuff...
Thanks and a happy 2005 everyone!!!![/b]
Usb will not work, it will need to be wired for serial connection, what is this mini usb converter you are using? The phone is not capable of communicating with a usb gps receiver because both the gps and the phone are usb slave devices and have no capability to talk to one another.
If we used an app that had pre-downoaded maps like Co-piolet, are there any gps recievers that we could plug in?
I am curious about this myself. I have found plenty of people using bluetooth gps receivers, and I myself have gpstether working. I wouldn't mind using a usb gps receiver though since they can be had for a little cheaper than the bluetooth ones it seems.
I've been looking for an app like this as well. Apparently, we need a separate kernel module loaded to get the USB serial port accessible within Android. But this kernel module is available. Then it's just a matter of parsing the NMEA data and putting it into a location provider.
If I don't find anything, I might just do it myself. I have a USB GPS receiver that can output at 10Hz that I want to use. Or I might just get a kit to convert it to bluetooth if I have to.
Installed GPS Tether on my galaxy S and gTab yesterday, very sweet and fast response.
I'm using the GPS Logger Bluetooth RBT-2300 (bought it long time ago for photography geotagging) with the "Bluetooth GPS" free from the market. Once is paired and connected I'm using Locus Pro
Hi guys, so I have a Chinese made android deck running 4.1.2 with I guess is a custom rom from their factory. It works pretty well but they have locked the bluetooth function to only allow incoming inconnections (meaning only my phone can connect to the device). I have an OBD bluetooth transmitter that I would like to connect to the device but the "bluetooth" options menu in settings is hidden. I don't see any reason why my bluetooth OBD can't connect with the deck seeing it connects to my phone fine. Are there any workaround/apps/xposed modules that will allow me to accomplish this?
Let me know if the explanation is not clear. Thanks in advance!
I'm looking for the answer to this also... I tried looking for a bluetooth connection app with no luck. My tocado android double din is running kit kat 4.2.2 and I assume they only allow bluetooth connections for audio and only want you to buy their obd 2 device. I can go into the device settings in the torque app and see my phone and other bluetooth devices but somehow my obd device isn't reckognized... it seems they are blacklisted somehow. Has anyone tried a wifi or usb bluetooth obd2 device? Maybe that will work?
Both Bluetooth and Wifi OBD-II devices are supported by our headunits. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for with these devices and the cheap ebay ones aren't very reliable
OBD devices are only detected if broadcasting name contains OBD. There is a work around using petrows CarService
Please report back any that work for you
Wifi
- VGate iCar 2
Bluetooth
-
Wired (USB)
-
Note: If connecting to wifi device, you'll lose you access to the internet (wifi/3g)
Curious about how to resolve the problem I have with OBD.
I use an OBDLink LX, which is far and away one of the best you can use. Not a cheap Chinese knock-off and it has specific support in both Torque and Dashcommand.
On my MTC KLD unit, Torque detects the OBD device just fine. Torque just works with it, I didn't have to do anything.
However, Dashcommand does not reliably detect it. Dash Command is enumerating devices differently somehow, and just shows "paired device" for everything. I was able to randomly choose one once, and it worked. The next time, it wouldn't work on either one. I would MUCH prefer to use Dash Command, as Torque gives me wildly inaccurate readings (MPG, HP, Torque, all are way off despite using accurate profile information). Dash Command tech support insulted me by simply responding to read the user manual PDF.
Any ideas?
I've just got a "LUJII Mini OBD2 ELM327 V1.5 Bluetooth Car Scanner". Works ok with my phone, and in the Bluetooth menu it seems to pair. But then Torque says it is not paired even though I have the OBD sign in the top status bar.
Need to force the pairing inside of the torque app by selecting which OBD device and then it works ok.

same problem for me on my kld 3066 Torque is paired and working immediatly.
dashcommand pair OBDII BT device but always don't connect, i just found that OBDII connect to dashcommand 80% of the times if I force dashcommand to close from Apps list and that I restart the App
I write lot of mails to dashcommand about this problem (also because i buy), ...I send Debugs and so...but I still with the same problem
Am I gonna also lose connection to may hands free bluetooth if I get a bluetooth one?
I never had one of those and would like to know which one you recommend for a Rk3066 HU
Thanks.
I got this one off amazon and for 11 bucks it works 99% of the time. The only issue I have had is it reads wrong codes on Subaru but works fine on Toyota, Nissan and Kia so far.
Cant post links but this is close

Hi all.....
I've got a SCANTOOL OBDLink LX connected to my AUDI S3 8P, and it's the fastest BT dongle i've ever seen.....it make about 45 Fps, when china's ELM make 10 Fps.....
Unfortunatly, the TP 2.0 protocol isn't available with a standard ELM327.....you just access to generic PIDs, so it's limited.....i'm working on it.
I also try a WBH BT5 dongle, witch should read the TP 2.0 with TORQUE......at the moment, i can't access to my ECU MED9.1 (but i can on KWP1281 EDC15P), i'm working on it too, with florian Help...
To paired with the WBH BT5, you need to override in Xposed MTC the dongle string name, and it work fine.

As an update, since I remove carservice this works much better, no need to force pairing everytime.

No you can bluetooth to more than one device at a time.
Anyone using VGate iCar v2 or v3 BT version? I wish to have one of these as they have automatic sleep mode so you can keep it plugged all the time without batt drain.
So I've tried both this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014MV03KY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00 and this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NLQAHS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
And I can't get either of them connect to bluetooth. They both show up when you search for the adapter, but neither of them connect. They don't even give me the option to put in the PIN to have them connect. Has anyone ever had this kind of issue? If so what can I do to fix it?

What module do you use to override the name? I need to do this too for my Kiwi3 but I can't find the relevant settings anywhere.

Correction - I found the settings page finally - apparently I hadn't actually enabled xposed MTC. Once it was enabled and rebooted, I still haven't been able to get the device to show up at all in the bluetooth settings. I've tried:
K
k
Kiwi
KIWI
Kiwi 3
3
kiwi
KIW
kiw
Kiw
as well as leaving the field blank. Still nothing in the bluetooth settings. I can confirm that the device is on and connectable from my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
has anyone found an adapter that plays well with mtcb decks and 2001 f150's? i've tried 3 adapters and still haven't gotten one that does both. either the connect no problem to my deck but not to the ecu or they connect to ecu but its named "chx" instead of obd and won't connect to my deck. i did try using the xposed module to override but it never worked for me either.
Hello XDA-Devs,
i bought a brand new Amazfit Pace (International) and updated firmware to latest stock. Setup was quite fine and watch paired with my Phone (Redmi Note 3 Pro) and Amazfit Watch App without any problems. I was also able to connect via MTP from Windows 10 PC and store some music on the watch.
Now i tried to connect my bluetooth headset (Bluetooth Bragi Dash Headphone) without any success. I put the Bragi Dash Headphone into pairing mode and in wacht BT menu it opens BT overview with blinking "Searching" indicator. After a while the blinking "Searching" indicator disappears and thats it. The Headphone does not show up. I also tried with a Bluetooth speaker with same result. Both, the Bragi Headphone and the bluetooth-speaker are working without any issues with my Phone, Windows tablets and other devices.
Any clue or same issue? Actually i like the design of the watch, but possibility to pair a bluetooth headset was a buying decision for me ..
thx and br

1. Make sure the BT devices aren't paired with any other devices before trying to pair with watch;
2. If BT on watch is working fine, you should stay connect if you go away from your phone about 10m (without barriers), if connection drops 30-50cm from phone then maybe you have a problem with the watch's BT (weak connection due to bad antennae or BT chip);
3. Put phone and any other device around in Airplane mode (or switch other BT devices off), do the same to watch, then enable only BT and try to pair again. There are some known cases of WiFi/BT interference.
If everything fails, maybe the phone/speaker simply aren't compatible if they pair with other devices. Watch should be able to list other BT devices nearby, if the list is always empty, looks like BT is damaged. Try an unpair (reset) and pair again with another phone and/or account on Amazfit app. Good luck.
Hello lfom, thanks for fast reply. I did a factory reset and it still does not work with my Bragi Headphone (150€) (https://support.bragi.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000132569-The-Headphone-Technical-Specifications)
But one good news, i tried with a very cheap bluedio BT-Headset (9€) and surprisingly this headset i could directly connect to my Amazfit Pace watch and works fine...
... so it seems there is some general incompatibility... maybe related to BT 4.0 A2DP version. As you see here http://www.phonemore.com/xiaomi-amazfit/specs/3497 the Amazfit Pace should support BT 4.0 A2DP. I assume the Bragi Headphone does handle the protocolls correctly (had never any issues with them) and they are premium product... so unfortunately it seems we have to wait for fix fom Amazfit side.
Anyone else can report incompatible BT devices? Or maybe anyone else out there tried to connect a Bragi product?
Thx and br
Probably it cannot be fixed by Huami, as the the limitation is the hardware used in Pace (4.0BLE). I have read somewhere that Stratos uses a different BT chip and supports higher version, not sure if 4.1 or 4.2. There is a list of known compatible and incompatible devices in a Facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/HuamiAmazfit.Pace.Smartwarch/permalink/344737925947591/
Thx lfom, i joined the group and seems that Bragi The Headphone does not work in general (others report that too). Sad that a standard protocol like bluetooth still seems to have compatabiliy issues. Have to live with it and use different BT-headphone. Thx for your help
Hi... my Kaidi headset will not pair Amazfit as well. I can pair Amazfit with iPhone and can pair Kaidi headset with iPhone but never Amazfit with Kaidi. Sad...
