They gave me one for free that will work - winning! Its basically one of these: mini elm327 First of all, it appears to be wayyyyy faster than the one I got from jaycar. It works on the head unit and my phone (s8). The only issue I'm having is that the trans temp will not read any more. I have tried on both the head unit and my phone and I'm getting "no response". This worked with the previous reader too which is really odd. Using PID 221674, OBD Header is TCM, and equation is ((A*256)+B)/8. No settings have changed between the different readers hence my confusion. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it is with this mini reader. Possibly faulty or is this some feature you'd usually pay more for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to kayhan audio at the moment about to get more info on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a spare in the car that I wasn't using, plugged it in and bam everything worked as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayhan Audio's rebranded reader is the only one that will work with their head units. Typical marketing BS! They do however support USB... So I'm gonna buy a USB OBD reader, stick it into the head unit and see if it works. If it does then hallelujah, a way to break their system! Looks like the ones on ebay that say something along the lines of "OBD2 for Ford" has the TCM protocol. Go figure right. Its annoying though, the reader from Jaycar supports all protocols (TCM included) but cannot read as fast as the Kayhan Audio rebranded one. And I NEED trans temp because she's been sitting around 100°C+ when sitting in really slow traffic and I want to see how hot its getting, also found a small kink in the oil line to the cooler that was installed so will probs take it back and ask to get that fixed. Time to put a fan on the trans cooler too I think. On a side note, I see forscan (check out their release notes on the site) now has an android (and IOS I believe) app! Anyone taken a look at this yet? I wanna get it but its $9.50, and I bought torque pro. So if its not any better than that I see no point in switching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
