I saw a gadget on ThinkGeek.com
http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/8426/ and it got me
thinking about something I’d like to do for my car. I would also like to have either a Bluetooth ODB-II port
connector http://www.blueobd.com/ or (less attractive option) have a
wired connection to the PDA so I can bring up a screen to show me whatever data
I want on the PDA screen (obviously with the appropriate software installed). Has anyone done anything like this with their Mini, or seen it done online? I did see someone do a fuel efficiency test with a Jeep using this sort of setup, and I don’t think it would be all that hard to put something together for my Mini. I’m just looking to see what has been done so far as inspiration before I go crazy trying to fabricate my own system. |

I use a ProClip for my Sirius radio. http://www.proclipusa.com It mounts to the downtube on the passenger side. I didn't use the double sided tape, so I can remove it at any time, as well. They have a large variety of mount adapters, so you may want to cruise over there and see if they have something already for the PDA.

Thanks for the link Phydeaux, they just might have what i need.
The three i saw listed for the Mini in particular look like they might even work without using the adhesive, just like you said! |
