Yes, that is also the adress found if I run a new "Bluetooth scan". I have this device in my "Bluetooth devices" list of the BT applet, and marked it as a "Trusted device", too.

On the "Bluetooth Scan and Set" page, the OBD BT Addr is set up correctly, but on my "Advanced GPS setup" page, there is no "Harley" box. I still have checkboxes called "OBD" (checked), "On" (checked) and "V1" (*un*checked). OBD listens on /dev/rfcomm1.

Then again, reading mgsetuplib.py, I just noticed that there is a checkbox called "HD". Is this the "Harley" you were talking about? If so, maybe you should put a space between the "HD" and the "Device" labels, it looks like just one word now. I'll try to get a screenshot later tonight.

(ATZ, ATSP0, ATE1, ATH0, 00 each as a separate command)?
Will starting miniobd2 from the xterm and type those commands work? If not, then I'll have to search for a terminal program that can connect to a bluetooth device connection... I assume that are the commands that are sent in the startup() function of minigobd2d.c ?

miniobd2d will just "sit there" even if everything is working since the other programs will interpret the data from files or connections.
To be honest, I was looking for error messages while running miniobd2d from the command line.

No, no carman running. You mentioned earlier that miniobd2 and carman can't share the BT connection, so I don't even try
