Tablet education

[blackobxt]

I’m hoping someone here can educate me a little bit on the tablet integration for our cars. I’m interested in replacing the cubby with a tablet but I really don’t know the what’s what and what the current tablet is. I’d like to use it strictly for live data display like knock and Other pids like iat, timing and what not. I’ve seen the stuff on the nexus 7 but isn’t that a 7yr old tablet? How is the refresh rate on the program that displays live data?

This is how I did it. With a couple changes. USB dac cashed issues, so I got a Bluetooth adaptor (linked below). I use the hotspot on my phone for internet, tablet connects via Bluetooth to the amp, and boom. It works great. Wouldn't do it any other way.

 

I'm about to buy btssm off the play store tomorrow; I've just been lazy. I think the Nexus 7 won't have any issues processing it. It's old yes, but it's not like it's doing a lot of work, it's just displaying information on the screen. Then again, I haven't tried it yet. I will test tonight and edit this post again.

 

 

If you check the site, it says Tactrix with CAN is the best, but CAN is only available for 2007+ models. K-line is what i've used in the past and it's what i'll use in the future because i've got an 05. Not sure what year your car is. I love my tactrix. I've used it to tune multiple cars, it's paid for itself hands down.
