OBD M8 (OBD Mate)

Obd Mate is universal car dashboard application with a number of cool features.

Works with almost all ELM327 adapters, supports all Teyes OBD2 adapters (both versions, including version 2 - long adapter)!!!

Important
- You need ELM327 Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB adapter to connect to a vehicle.
- You should use ELM327 v1.5 adapters, because ELM327 v2.1 adapters often do NOT work correctly.

This application is able to get information from CAN bus without using an OBD-II adapter (in case you have T'eyes head unit with CAN bus box installed).
CAN bus support added for the following vehicles:
- Infiniti FX35/FX45 (2003-2008)

If you have installed T'eyes head unit (SPRO, TPRO, CCx) along with T'eyes CAN bus box, contact me, and I'll add your vehicle support to the application.

- Plug in ELM327 adapter into 16-pin diagnostic connector of your vehicle
- Switch ignition ON (or start the vehicle)
