Genius, i've been using his method and it's insanely confortable and accurate for an old phone in my car.

Exactly what i needed to fill in the gaps of info I needed to complete my own diy HEADS UP DISPLAY for my knew car using an old cell phone of mine! Much appreciated!

Found this just by chance! fantastic!! thanks mate!

My truck 12v socket is hot. So I use a 4 toggle switch box. It works like a charm. My phone is a old s6. Great video and apps 👍👍

May/01/2020 - Llama app changed... but there's Automate made by LlamaLab. (Also found MacroDroid but that requires a rooted device.) In Automate I went under Community and then searched for Torque. Two good ones to choose from. I'm using a Motorola One and it's way different under settings as well, because it's a Moto and because new Android OS of course. I also bought a thin/stealth OBD2 adapter to extend the female plugin and hide the bluetooth OBD2 itself above my pedals so I don't see any blinking lights or device jetting out. Only thing I'm having trouble with is where to mount it and keep the cable neat and hidden, as well as easily visible without taking my line of vision too far from forward like you have to with that setup you have. --- This may get annoying every now and then when I run MHD tune or other OBD2 logging apps with my iPhone but eh, this is the best gauge setup I have seen for BMW's! Especially price wise. THANKS for this 4 year old video that's still holding strong!!!

One of the best video on this topic.. I learned a lot and am installing on my fiat linea

Thx for all the info, even after 2 years for me it's really helpful :)

This answered all of my questions about making a digital ins panel. Thanks for this video!

Great video mate ! Cheers!

what an excellent video, have a new car on the way, have been looking at all sorts of gauge options but this is going to be perfect! thank you so much

Nice setup, I got a Z3 roadster, so I might rock your M theme.

That's really neat! A very good and informative video :3

Brilliant video Mate, I've been wanting to fit a boost, volt and oil temp gauges in my car for ages. But being new to all this I've not been sure how to do this on my car and didn't wanna drill and bolt dials into dash with out being sure first. This will give me all I want with out screwing a single hole in dash. Ordered my Bluetooth OBD so hope it works for my car but even if not it's a great video! 5* dude

Exact setup I’m trying to do! Awesome vid!

YES.I was just looking for something like Llama but now I found it thanks to you.

Thanks for this vid mate, I was thinking of doing this with an old phone but was unsure off what apps to use with torque. Nice one

Very informative. Thank you!

Awesome, thanks a million...

Very knowledgeable, thank you sir.

This is a very nice video. I'm tempted to save my WiFi tablet (sim port is broken) and build it into a custom dash for a project car. Thank you for the great video

Thank you for your high-quality, plain-speaking video tutorial - greatly appreciated. My own priorities are tacho and shift lights. Have you any views/experience on Realdash? Or is Torque Pro the best option? Thanks again.

Top video! Thanks.

Great video . Thanks 👍

voooov, that is such a good video! thank you, thank you!

Very very very useful app thnx bro.....

G'day mate, thanks for your effort nice vid.

great vid mate, thanks for all the info. cheers

Good stuff

Awesome

NICE THANKS A LOT

Great vid! You can change graph line color through the properties file btw. I believe it's "graphlinecolour=". In case you didn't want the green.

We are living in such a great time now.

Nice video 👌👍

Ive been a follower of your channel for a while, and enjoy both you and your brothers content. This years old video just popped up in my feed ....... and its just what i need 👍 Still relevant today? or would you recommend any other Apps/Devices? Perhaps an updated vid .....

This is awesome thanks. The No lock app doesn’t work for me. The lock screen is still there when I power on. Any suggestions?

Nice product

thanks man, been wanting to do this for awhile but my previous car didnt have shit for oem sensors. installing this setup on my evo x next month after i get it re-tuned

nice vid

You're a champion thanks for info about Llama etc, been looking for a simple version to do this for along time, outstanding!.

19:54 :1.5 inchHg vacuum idling, Valvetronic at work

Hi great video. Could you show how do this but for making your old phone into a touch screen to control an Android head unit?

Hi I love your video I'm in the negotiation stage of buying a 04 maserati that needs a new dash cluster can we use realdash with you other apps to turn on and off my dash with the key like you did I'll also need blinkers to work for roadworthy check

my first car had a turbo gauge (r5 turbo) almost no cars show's it anymore still it a good and very useful gauge

Is there software to convert old GPS devices for this sort of thing? I have an old Garmin and also a Sony NavU

Hi there! You have a great video here. Unfortunately is been a while since you did it and seems like llama and few apps are being discontinued since then. Looking to have this setup to my LS swap. Any recommendations what to use now or where to find those apps?

would this work on an Android Tablet, v7.0 7? Great presentation, thank you!

Geez, the least you could have done is explained as you went along! :) great job, I don't think you missed any info. Or at least I'm shocked if anyone came away with a question :) gudday from Ireland!

The best clip I have seen on YT. Thank you.

That's pretty good. How about auto dimming?

Hai im from New Zealand, are you able to post up the apps used in the video in your description?

Great Video.. thank you.. but for me tried several times and dif devices.. but cant get LLama to kill Torque.. even rooted samsung s7..so got airplane mode to work but thats it... does this only work with old hardware.. or is there a better version of llama etc...? Cheers.

I tried to find the Llama app and could not find the automation version you mention, I did find one called Automate that I think was the version you installed, am I wrong on this matter? Thank you great instructional video

A well spoken useful video . Thanks I was wondering if this setup would apply to motorcycles which also have a diagnostic port ? (usually under the tank ) of course waterproofing everything must be done at a high level but after that can you see any sort of problem that might prevent me from a similar setup ?

Hi I've found it very good. And I just cannot find the setting delay for 10 seconds in Llama app. Could you help me?

Does the drivers door when closed hide the OBD unit? In your demo I didn't see if you removed it after setup was done? I tried to find a HUD for my car but there's only two with an 8K red line and both are sold in Europe. :-(

what if you already have obd from insurance like metromile or team moble synup can you use it off that its bluetooth

Can you used the new FIXD OBD reader for this?

Any recommendations for an alternative to Llama that does not require rooting for the same startup controls?

OBD Link MX+ is the Absolute Best Bluetooth Scanner" 👍👍

Never Used The Liama. But Sure I Could Put This To Good Use So Thanks For The Advice With This, As For The Lock Screen You Dont Need The "No Lock" App, You Could Use The (Stay Awake When Charging) In The Developer Options Folder. Why Add Apps For Features That Android Has Built In.

I know this video is over a year old now, but I'm stuck on the first app instruction (Llama). I'm looking to alter the phone power config, but the new version of Llama gives me a list of profiles to set, unlike your example. There's no simple 'event' option anymore for 'power off' settings... Is there an old version of the app I should dlownoad, or am I missing something?

Very useful video, mate! Just a couple of questions: When you turn off the engine is the USB port still charging the phone or does the power to the USB socket also turn off after a few mins? Also, do you leave the OBD2 dongle always connected and does it also power off after a few mins once you turn off the ignition? It would be great if both turn off automatically, else they would drain the car battery. Hope this set-up is still working fine.

How did u connect to the obd and the car's stereo system (both with bluetooth) at the same time?

You can disable the lock screen from within the android settings, you don't need the second app. Where you can set the lock type (pattern, pin etc.) there is an option for none, at least on Vanilla android (I am not talking about the swipe option)

excellent idea for the upcoming tesla model 3 lack of dash guages

Ok this is really great is love to set this up in both of my cars with 2 old no longer used or registered android phones, How do I get the apps on the phones?

Hello friend, your video was fantastic. vien explained. but it took like a week trying to put the logo of (M) to my BMW M5 ON THE SCREEN ... AS YOU HAVE IT IN THE VDIEO .. I WILL APPRECIATE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART GRASIAS AND GOD BLESS YOU

Hi love the clip , can you use a tablet instead of a phone ? thanks

Hello mate, Cant find Llama app now, is there any other apps that have the same feature? Cheers

This is very informative video :) How did you mount the phone in your bmw? can you please share the video link?

Which gauges will be beneficial for my daily Hyundai buzz car? It only comes with tachometer, rev counter.

does it work with my golf 2

What is the biggest difference between this and the BlueDriver, can you also use this application with the BlueDriver?

Can you make a updated video on how to to it will the upgraded version of liama

Will this work On a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer oz rally ?

has anyone used a OBD1 20pin to OBD2 16pin adapter cable with one of these? Want to do it on my e30.

Mate! great intel! could you tell me what the name of the programme/software is in order to create an interface, know what I mean? I need it to match the given color of my gauges already... thx a lot!

I know this video is billions of years old, wonder if you still had this set up. Im only curious what was the version # of Llama you we're running. I have access to a repository of older apps (this is in there). I'm going to decompile your version and make it work with current stuff for the culture!!!

can you show us for the brz and how would you go about mounting it? i have a brz as well. but i don't gauges

How did you get the M logo installed? I'm having difficulties can you help?

can I get a link to where I can buy the obd link MX

like it

Can you do all this on a tablet too?

no one builds nicer (then newest)digital cluster for older models 2010-2015 ,is that that hard to code?

Does it have a oil pressure reading?

would this work with a tablet instead of a phone? Id like bigger gauges for various items and I have an older car with a huge top center dash console that I could put a tablet in.

does the app just lock the screen or power off the phone..when the power is unplugged ...????

Truly EXCELENT video and presentation, my hats off to you! I too am using an "Android" system (Samsung Galaxy Series). Having said that, for the life of me I can not find the "Liama" app ANYWHERE. My "Torque PRO" edition, which I've downloaded (Nov 2019) does seem to be different than yours in as far as the "Home Screen" that I have and what you seem to have on the video.... Having said that, I can't find the "Liama" app anywhere in the "Torque PRO" app or, the "Play Store".... nor do I find it when I "Google" it. Any suggestions you might have would be GREATLY appreciated! BTW, I too ordered and "Tried" the "OBDLink MX" Bluetooth Module and sadly, it was a total Disaster for me. THAT was highly disappointing, as all the "Research" I did, the OBDLink MX, seemed to the an Excellent Option and Choice... but as I said, it just didn't work. I'm pretty sure I received a Defective one, but after over 8 hours trying to get it to Work, Pair And Connect with my vehicle and Two (2) different "Devices" (My Samsung Galaxy and a Amazon Fire 7), I just gave up and returned it. Now trying "other" OBD readers and hoping for better results...

Will this work with a 1993 mustang 5.0 it doesn't have the newer version obd2 which started in 94 or 95 to resent. It has theolder style port ? My car has the stock A9L ecu and I can't find any info on using a android phone or tablet as a gauge cluster. Thanks in advance for any and and all advise.

when i turn off the engine, phone goes off, then i turn the car on, phone turns on, shows torque dials BUT.... torque immediately goes back to main menu... any ideas?

what do you recommend using on cars with OBD1 port? is there a way to convert or any port conversion available?

How to make exact gauge theme as yours? I can't make it myself

Cool video, i had this in my old car with a tablet but had to set it up manually evertime i drove. Where does the USB connect to? Cigarette lighter? Also, does the phone need to have service in order to have Bluetooth?

Also the no lock app is now unavailable. What app do you recommend?

what version of android does llama support? i can't find it at all on the playstore.

so I'm non computer compatible. if I do a Ls engine swap. in to a older vehicle. use the O.E. ecm from likely a 2000-2010 Chevy truck. could I use a small android tablet as the instrument panel? with speed, tach, oil psi, H2o temp, everything you need while driving? I don't guess there's anything like this for OBD1? only OBD2 correct? I want a digital screen to replace my gauge cluster.

Any issues with leaving the phone in the car, with regards to heat affecting the battery? I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, but have been hesitant due to not wanting a small explosion in my car (even though the Note 3 isn't the one known for explosions).

Do you have a video showing how to do this with a Tablet?

What app you use brother

I'm a truck driver, do they make this for semi trucks also?
