Adapter Minimum Interval: Set this to the adapter's minimum data transmit interval (in
milliseconds). Setting this to a low value (less than 300 ms) will increase the Bluetooth data
traffic and will improve data response performance. Setting this to a high value (1000 ms or
greater) will reduce the Bluetooth data traffic, slow the data response, and may help with
adapter connection issues.
Allow Adapter to Sleep: This will turn the adapter LED's off after 2 minutes of no
activity. It will automatically wake up once the app connects.
Connect to a J1939 Data Bus: Select this to instruct a 9-pin adapter to connect to the
J1939 data bus. This is selected by default unless the adapter is a 6-pin. J1939 refers to the
name given to the network standard that the vehicle computers are using. J1939 became
the standard around 2004, however there continued to be some manufacturers that used
the older J1708 standard for a while after that.
Connect to a J1708 Data Bus. Select this to instruct a 6 or 9-pin adapter to connect to
the J1708 data bus. If you're using a 6-pin adapter, this will automatically be selected after
you connect for the first time. If you're using a 9-pin adapter, only select this if you must as
it places a burden on the adapter to retrieve J1708 data. This standard was adopted when
computers were first introduced into vehicles and ran until 2004-5 however you may still
have J1708 computers in your vehicle with later years.
Connect to an OBD-II Data Bus: Select this if you have a vehicle with an automotive
engine (Ford, GM, Mercedes, etc) and an OBD-II diagnostic port (rectangular instead of
round). You will also need an OBD-II to J1939 converter connector to use with our J1939
adapters. Most OBD-II vehicles 2015 and newer will work with our adapter. Older vehicles
may or may not work. Please note that OBD-II ECMs do not transmit as much information
as J1939 or J1708 ECMs. The data items that may be available are RPM, Speed, Odometer
(Distance), Oil Temp, Intake Temp, Coolant Temp, Boost Pressure, Fuel Level, Fuel Rate,
Total Engine Hours, Engine Load, Engine Torque, Driver Torque, Accelerator Pedal Position,
Throttle Position, Battery Voltage, and Faults.
Ignore Aftertreatment: This relates to newer vehicles with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
and a catalytic converter to significantly reduce harmful emissions. Select this to instruct
the App to not request this information from the adapter. This will improve performance if
you do not need to see this information.
Ignore Transmission Data: Select this to instruct the App to not request this information
from the adapter. This will improve performance if you have a manual transmission or if
you do not need to see this information.
Ignore Out of Range: This keeps the App from detecting if your mobile device is getting
close to the Bluetooth range (20-30 feet) and requires calibration (located in the About
page). Note, this will only be visible with an Apple/Android/Windows (BLE) adapter.
