OBD2 reading works with Nokia Symbian phone in 850 GLT 1996 850 1996

Hi all,

Just wanted to share with you that I managed to read OBD2 codes with a program called OBDscope for Nokia phones with Symbian S60 v3 and later operating system. Downloaded trial version from obdscope.com and used as recommended, in my case with the cheapest available OBD Bluetooth reader, and Bluetooth activated in my Nokia 6110 Navigator. (download .sisx file, transfer to phone memory and install from phone (in my phone via buttons Settings, DataManag,ProgrManag and then scrolling to OBDscope entry, OK) Program icon ended up installed in a folder called Extra, you can move it from there to Main folder)

Have now downloaded the full version, since trial only lasts 7 days after installation. Interesting thing is that this is the only OBD program I have tested so far that can give on-line fuel consumption like the original Volvo dashboard computer in wife´s V70 ´98 (my ´96 does not have the computer display installed, but obviously the data is there). Checked by using same Bluetooth reader and OBDscope simultaneously with one eye on dashboard in the V70, and the fuel consumption numbers matched perfectly when at constant speed, OBDscope being much faster in response at quick speed/consumption changes.

Remains to show that I can erase fault codes with full version. Is unplugging one spark plug cable the simplest way to evoke a fault code?

At any rate, wait throwing away your Nokia Symbian S60 phones until you have tried this.

I might want to come back to you guys with questions on the fuel consumption, since I am a bit perplexed about the increase over the last year. Let you know when I have the problem better defined with this program.

Gustaf
