I thought EVERYONE did that...

Guys have tried that in Va, but the few people that ive known still failed emissions and they didnt have CEL's either.

The tester hooked it up and it said that the rear o2 sensors were listed as "not ready" or something like that, so they failed.

Judging by my results, along w/ Shahid - if he's testing in MD, he'll probably be fine.

It's all just a stupid cash grab anyway.

I have not been there yet. Soon as I figure out where the evap system is leaking on my truck, I will though.

good stuff..

jpkirk · 09-15-2014, 02:27 PM

We should be able to clear the codes without disconnecting the battery with the ODB device. I can control it from my phone or laptop.

This is the ODB adapter I bought

OBDLink MX Bluetooth Scan Tool

And here is the software I have for my phone

Torque

Ok the phone software website you linked there looks awesome but they don't tell you the name of the program exactly.

In the app store when I search for "torque" I get:
Engine Link OBD II vehicle moitoring made by "K Solution LLC"

and

OBD Fusion by OCTech LLC

Edit: Never mind. It's only for android. Is there a solid equivalent for iOS?

Hmmm, I bet there is but I don't know what it would be. You may be better served by the WiFi version of the scan tool since it works in the iOS environment. The MX version that I have is bluetooth and does not work with iOS. Unfortunately, it is not available until November, if then. It will come with OBDLink that should work on your iPhone, but does not appear to work for a Mac. They have a Windows package but that is it.

Edit: The two models are MX bluetooth and MX WiFi

I'll have to keep looking. I'll ask Frank (tuner frank, not dog, not Presto). I bet he has a suggestion.

I like the performance monitoring stuff it does. Really would love something like that for my phone.

See you Saturday though. Definitely want to be sure I'm not throwing codes before I go do the emissions thing.

Asheth · 09-15-2014, 04:13 PM

Saturday is a possible go if the weather is good. It's suppose to be sunny all week to include Saturday. If I lived closer I wouldn't mind the drive even if turn out isn't good but it's a hour min drive for me so I'm playing with fire lol. DM said he is in so I want to see his car so I'll be there regardless.

Edit: that sounded flaky at the beginning lol. I'll definitely be there Saturday.

Do come if Mark's in. His car is gorgeous.

Edit: come no matter what; the people are great. Mark's car is a thing of beauty, though.

I'm gonna take Friday off and do the full clay bar/8 hour ordeal paint treatment. I'll be there saturday for sure.

Also, picked up an (overpriced) OBD2 / iOS combo from Innovate. Got a pretty good deal from RT Tuning.

Pisses me off since I already have an uprev license but what're you gonna do?
At least it matches my gauges.
