I've posted created a YouTube channel with a couple of videos including a general overview of how this CAN Bus stuff works and a general overview of tesLAX, for those who are interested. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2IFdJMhM49L0kfX7ojOoCA Can't say I enjoy being a creator, so I don't know...

Hi everyone. tes•LAX 2.0 went live in the AppStore, for those who might be interested.

TesLAX is designed to be car agnostic, so as we learn more about the signals in play for the Plaid, users can update the signals manually. Once we settle on a DBC for Plaid, I can bundle a new preset. I’m hearing the model 3/Y preset works pretty well for most things but of course we’ll need...

Sad to report there is a minor bug in tesLAX 1.6 that prevents the "Extra Strength" unlock from working properly for some users. I've submitted a fix to Apple and are waiting for them to approve. I apologize for the interruption in features for some users.

For those interested, I just released "tes•LAX v1.6" with some slightly revised branding. Of specific interest, support for BLE OBD-2 dongles like the OBDLink CX, and vLinker MC+, etc. It should work with most serial ELM237 dongles over BLE... but BLE has a system of service UUIDs and...

I think it’s an STN1100-compatible chip exposed over BLE. Similar to the MX+ but without the MFi certification that classic Bluetooth requires on iOS. I just have so many of these OBD interfaces and I don’t want to buy another one!

If anyone owns an OBDLink CX and would like to reach out, I'm interested in seeing if I can add support.

Thanks for your help on this. As a thank you, and in case you already don't have it, here is an AppStore promo code for a tesLAX subscription in-app-purchase. 44FLNJ9PPYNF -- Apple's promo code expire in 29 days, so its good for about that period. If you're already a paying customer, thank...

Maybe? I probably won’t be investing in too many more dongles. I’ve already more than makes sense but I think that one is BLE and probably AT command set so it probably will work. May need to figure out some BLE ID’s to talk to it, though. if you want to join the next beta and try, send me a...

WiFi accessories do dedicate the WiFi interface to the accessory. On phones with cellular connections, however, the phone will defer to the cellular network when connected to an access point that is not proving internet access. Funny you ask which adapter I'd recommend. I don't endorse any...

Hi folks. I just released tesLAX v1.5 to the AppStore with many improvements and support for (some?) WiFi based OBD-2 dongles. I use the "vLinker MC WiFi" as it supports the ST-command set with filtering to prevent too much data from flooding the line. It should also work with WiFi-based ELM327...

I added Panda support to my app at the request of some folks who were more involved with the Tesla hacking community, probably the same folks working on OpenPilot and other things. This was before Comma.ai decided to remove WiFi support from their latest firmware. In general, it was hard to...

One other note. I do keep my OBDLink MX+ on the latest firmware when developing tesLAX. You need to use the OBDLink app from the manufacturer to do this. I think mine is currently on firmware v5.3.1

That a good point. I have seen cases where the MX+ doesn't initialize. IT responds to the ATZ command but doesn't start montitoring when requested with at "STM" command for some reason. It doesn't happen often. Sometimes during development, I've seen a hard reset (disconnect the MX+ and...

I have that same cable, but my car is a 2018 so I have the other version. That would be my first thought is to check the adapter harness. I don't know how technical you are but if you have a multimeter and a pinout of the connector you can make sure that all the data pins are making it to the...

Hi Folks, I have been working on an iOS CANBus visualization tool and I think its time to get some a few more willing test subjects to give it a try. If you frequent the M3OC (now TOO) forum, you have have seen a preview of it as @JWardell has been testing it and using it for reverse...
