Dear Maemo Community,

I saw today this device http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16921 and the related videos which show how it works with a Android phone.

It is possible to read the "debug codes" of a car which is really useful as car owner. But it can do also quite a few other things like showing the engine RPM, calculate the load value, show the fuel status, show the air flow rate, air temperature and many other things.

You can also log for example a route that way and see later how much fuel you used at which point or what your highest speed was. So yes the ODB-II connector gives tons of possibilities to a car owner.





Now the question is, will there be a application for the N900? Can the Android one maybe used as base?

Thank you in advance for your replies
