OBD Device

[Wrightwood]

Has anyone found an Edge CTS link that says it covers MBS?

Most of us have just taken the screws out of the OBD connector. It can then be pushed
up into the compartment with the cable attached

Mike. What xguage parameter are you using for trans temp?

I am using DashCommand with my iPhone, you do need the odbII wifi interface like others have posted.

I'll start a new thread for it when I find some... I'm not going to pay M-B parts prices for a minor issue!

I am using the new 'automatic' ODB2 device. What is really cool is that not only can you connect your favorite smart phone app (like dash command), it also logs your travel geographically, your starts/stops, your mileage, gallons used (based on a pre-programmed price), etc., and keeps all your trips so you can compare and look things up. I put together an IFTTT recipie to upload my trips to outlook.com's onedrive for storage and sharing on the phone whenever the trip has completed, and the phone has internet.

Here is a link to a couple test trips I made with my car.

I have been doing some research on this XGauge parameter and supposedly it works on Sprinters from 2007 forward. If anyone tries it on 2007 to 2012 let us know how it performs.

When setting up your XGauge make sure to use an unused identifier. I believe TFT is used for another parameter.

Here is the actual source for the parameter.

Sorry-Not the Guy! But you have me looking at YouTube, he is quite an adventurous person like all of us with our RV's.

He had a great PCT experience and made some great videos.

I programmed the 'Automatic ODB2' smart phone app to send me a text message AND an email of any check-engine events that may occur.

Whenever a check-engine event occurs, within a couple seconds my phone does a ble-bleep with a text message containing the actual event code and description. It also follows-up whenever it has Internet with a corresponding email.

I could actually have it email or text my mechanic directly if I wanted to ! The only problem is - I don't have said mechanic...

There are low profile OBD 2 extensions that allow you to close the door that covers the OBD port. I used this one and so far, so good -
