actually with the Bluetooth ODBII plug, a BT device (phone, nook color, iPad?ugh, etc) and the right software, it is pretty easy.

Bump for video! I'm thinking of doing this with my Dell Streak 7 and media dock (it has a power input and an actual line out; S7 has a decent-but-not-great screen and a Tegra 2, full size SD card, and can do T-Mo 4G), if I can somehow convince my wife that this is more prudent than selling it

Very nice install, by the way; super clean and professional looking.

Very impressive.

Can you post the link to this component? I tried looking around on mouser.com and can't seem to find it. I was thinking that something like this might be able to be used with the Galaxy Nexus. Thanks.

The torque app

---

Hi all

I have got myself a nook and have dumped CM7 on with the torque app on it.
I am having an issue accessing the menu in the torque app to allowme to connect to a Bluetooth reader. I believe that this is due to the nook not having the 4 buttons along the bottom like most Droid devices. Does anyone have a workaround for this by any chance?

Thanks James

There is the app SoftKeys on the market. You need root, but since you're on CM7 you're already covered: https://market.android.com/details?i...droid.SoftKeys
It displays all the needed buttons onscreen.

bump for the video. I'd really like to see the dock and and undock. Great job.

Nice job on the Install!!

Im going to do something similar soon. But a little less permanent. What im really interested in is the software and the plug your using for OBDII info. Can you include a look of this in action in your video if you decide to post one?

2 months... no video? Would very much like to see one.

Sorry for the delay in responding guys! I've been a little distracted with a forum upgrade and it's associated projects. I keep meaning to get a video taken, but time keeps getting away from me. The microSD card I was using has decided to get a little flaky on me, and I finally got around to ordering a new one, and should have it tomorrow. If I can get everything loaded back up and installed, I'll aim for video this weekend. As of this point, I should have time. Fingers crossed!
