OBD2 port options

[Nogasmn]

I purchased a proclip dash mount, I am going to use it for having whatever media is playing displayed infront of me as I am driving, not video just audio. With my, galaxy note 9, google play music in landscape looks kinda odd. So I was thinking of using one of the many diagnostic apps, Torque pro, to have a speedo next to google play. I know that we can get an adapter of some sort so that I can plug in my bluetooth obd2 device. But where can I get that adapter without spending $200?

The only adapter to create an OBD2 port that I am aware of is $300 from EVTV...

Yeah, pretty sure that's the adapter I was hoping I can find at a lower price.

Thats pretty cool but I'm used to the speedometer now and would really just use it for the fun of the hp and torque gauges. Not really worth the cash

Looks promising. Know if it works?

I don't know if it works. I have the EVTV one that I use for my DIY HUD. I bought it months ago, when the EVTV one was the only product on the market.

Mine just got delivered today. Haven't hooked it up yet, but I'll check back in when I do.

If you just want to display a speedometer on your phone, there is no need for an OBD2 port. There are many GPS-based speedometer apps that you can use.

I built a GPS-based HUD for my Model 3 before the EVTV adapter was released. My only problem with that is that GPS speedometers will always have a 1-2 second lag. With OBD2, what you see in the speedometer will match the center screen display, so it is not jarring.

Confirmed working. Note my car is a 2018 model and the company only seems to be selling this one version (that I saw anyway). If you have a 2019 with the new harness you probably need to find another option.

There are pre and post Jan 2019 versions and EU cables too... the other forum is your friend.

So with the geotab model we can use it on 2019 cars?.

For the obdii display is there a way to have your phone turn off and on automatically with the car to display the data?

Are you certain those are different connectors? Both products are labeled CT20. Per their naming convention those are both 20 pin connectors. I thought I saw it mentioned that the 2019s have a 26 pin connector. Also, I received the rev 03 version and it works with my 2018 vehicle. I know there are connectors for 2019s available elsewhere, but it sure seems like the geotab / xtss is the older connector only.

It was actually my photo showing the old rev1 and newer rev3 2017/2018 adapter. So yes, same basic part for the same 20 pin connector.

The phot was not intended to show thr 2017/2018 vs 2019 cables side by side.
