Hmmm, hope its clever with power.

The diag port is always live, and I know if you leave a bluetooth reader plugged in, it will flatten your battery.

We won't ask how you know that. ::) ::) ::) ;D

I have a similar device donated by a mate who works for a leader in this field, it does very little diagnostics (battery basic fault codes but nothing overly useful) and provides comprehensive data on how crap your driving is.

well. the little box was fitted today asked about power drain and the fitter (a real nice bloke by the way) said it only pulls 0.5 amps when in engine is running and next to nothing when engine is of as it goes into a sleep mode.
Mark? what do you mean how crap I drive,  the cheek of it .  ;D

Just wait......do you know who the service provider is?

Accelerate sensibly down a slip road and it docks you marks, go round a roundabout at a sensible speed and not 'Land Rover' driven by a grandma velocity and it docks you marks, go over the speed limit by a few mph when overtaking and it docks you points, brake for a roundabout and it docks you points......you get the idea!

That I know Marks, the only reason I asked was because I thought you had seen me driving somewhere. Haha. Doesn't really bother me as I'm not a mad speedster anyway, most of the time. Can always unplug it from the EOBD port if I'm feeling a bit reckless. ;)

I think we should all get one and see who can achieve the "worst" score. :-X

Cue several uninsurable drivers following the sudden inclusion of 'Have you ever had a monitoring device fitted and what was your average score?' to the proposal forms... ::)

I'm intrigued, although not sure I'd be happy for anyone else to be able to view the data though.  :-X

So this mornings commute, quite leisurely, certainly not hugely spirited driving....




The rev counter symbol is for hard acceleration (in its opinion)
Speed camera symbol is for speeding (those show as circa 72-73 mph)
The cornering symbol is hard cornering

So, to summarise, lateral G > 0.002 = bad!  ::)

Ignore my previous comment. There's clearly going to be no challenge in it whatsoever.

We're going to have a lot of mobile roadblocks on the road if people believe these apps!
