Scan My Tesla (OBDII) Install

[kbecks13]

So i just got an OBDII connector cable from e mobility driving solutions in Germany and put together a quick video on how to install it for use with Scan My Tesla. Was pretty easy and the data is really cool, trying to find a way to overlay some of this on track videos somewhat painlessly...

Will add another video with some interesting data soon!

Interesting - Thanks. Which connector cable did you get? I have an August 2018 build.

Nice I was just going to ask why the german site only has for 2019. Do they have BT adapters too?

That is Scan My Tesla. It has configurable gauges.

I figured as much. I checked the Apple Store and do not see that available.

@Ryefry That is a neat setup. But you do have to turn on the tablet every time you get into your car before driving?

 

[Ryefry]

There are lots of really cheap Android tablets and phones that

Currently I have to turn it on manually but I think I can make it wake through the OBDLink.

Cool, looks quite easy, but when looking at the e-mobility site, it only shows the OBDII connector for Model 3 built after January 2019? But yours is an earlier build. Is there another connector that I missed?

Kind of reminds me of Torque Pro:

In the Tesla, I use the tablet for WAZE and MPH (I know, but I just like it in front of me... I'm anal)

Does the Tesla 3 have an OBDII port? I use a BT OBDII adapter in my ICE coupled with Torque Pro for monitoring the systems.

They can make one for 2018 cars, just add a note to the order when purchasing but as others have mentioned there are other (and cheaper) places to buy the cables as well, which i realized after ordering mine haha.

It does not, that's why you need to remove the panel and add this small jumper harness as seen in the video. Once you install that harness, then you can use BT OBDII adapters.

If anyone is using a standard ELM327 device I highly recommend upgrading to one of the OBDLink devices. They provide data so much faster so the gauges update in real time (like 750 packets per second vs what, 20-30 for the ELM327 devices).

I asked the vendor that question. They have two different cables and they send the correct one based on the information you provide.

From what i've seen he is recording the phone screen and just overlaying that (which i can do now). I'm looking for a way to save the raw data and display it on the video as an overlay via the Race Render software. Basically need to link the OBD2 data to the Track Addict or Lap Timer app.

You can see what i mean in this video, instead of showing speed or G-forces you would show battery power output or throttle etc.
