Attached are the documents that were downloaded from the BlueDriver when connected to my 2007 Coupe. Device is really slick!

And BlueDriver is up-to-date on recall information. Listed the recent driver-side air bag recall by Daimler-Chrysler for the part sourced from Takata.

Later,

Changed oil & filter on my 2007 Coupe this morning. Everything went well. Started car up after closing up everything to check for leaks. Car ran for about 5-10 minutes and shut off.

Tried using BlueDriver to pull codes. Cell phone & tablet both see the device and attempt to connect. But both seem to continuously search for connection. Did you have any issues getting yours to connect?

Crossfire is "dead in the water" for now. Would like to pull codes before I start doing the typical remedies for "no start" condition.

Thanks,

No problem with the Bluedriver but I had a similar problem with a similar code reader.
I had to go to the iPad settings and get the iPad to look for the signal, I was scratching my head for a while though.

THX - I'll look into what's going on with the BlueDriver early this week.

Got a coffee mug from BlueDriver in the mail today. Unsolicited!

Anyone have any troubles getting codes for the other modules? When I scan the complete system or dash lights it stops at 96% and then loses connection with the blue driver. I tried calling Lemur and they said the vehicle isn't fully supported yet. Sounds like it could just be me.

I've had a similar issue getting the Bluedriver to stay connected to the XFire. Lemur asked me to send them a file from the device so they could troubleshoot the issue. Feedback I got was that the device locates a Chrysler VIN but finds M-B diagnostics and gets confused. Not sure I buy this feedback because others haven't seen this issue.

FWIW,

Default Re: New toy (COBRA Dash Cam)

Recently bought a COBRA dash camera (M/N CDR 840). On sale at Costco for $85.00 ($100 with 15% discount). Takes both videos and stills. We used it during the VW New Beetle ToD event last weekend. Worked fairly well considering I was learning how to use it.

Only issue was left microphone on during some videos and it caught me using somewhat 'spirited language' during certain segments of the cruise! Those videos I won't be sharing! Hah!

Attached is PDF manual.

The UltraGauge was less but cannot put out emails of the results.It probably does not show so much, but it is very good for the money and I have not studied it too much. I've only looked at it once and then I put it under the seat and forgot about it. Silly really.

I have my Ultragauge in use all of the time. I don't use it as a scan tool but I use the customized gauge pages to keep track of MPG, instantaneous and average, coolant temp, intake air temp, boost psi, HP and torque. I have 14 things monitored on 2 pages, I find it extremely useful and it has signaled a pending problem and then cleared the light after it was corrected. I still don't use a smart phone! LOL

What can I say. I LOVE my UltraGauge !
I monitor all of the above, my home screen also has IAT so I can see the difference between it and ambient temp on the dash.
( The MPH and RPM are dead on with the instruments )
