android dashboard app that works with k-dcan?
I'd found one I really wanted to try but I can't get it to talk, RealDash.
Just looking for something more flashy than the normal MHD one. Kind of want to make a tablet overlay to the stock display (no codes or complaints that way), just something that fits right over the top. |

Finally got the chance to play with RealDash for a bit today. Same as you iminhell1 I simply couldn't get it to connect.
First I verified my tablet is compatible with RD- yep, it is (Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 10 (SM-T810)). I used the RD online faq and manuals to be sure that I had configured my OBD connection correctly... Heck, I even tried several connection settings/combinations- alas, all in vain. My Google-Fu was unable to come up with anything helpful despite my best efforts. The RD connection config options are limited, but should be sufficient for the task at hand. I'm fairly sure we're not the first N54's to try the app, or E82 N54 specifically, so I followed their OBD2 "new connection fails" process from the faq and sent logs per their instructions. Probably just something stupid in the configuration process, but I'll report back what they advise... From the RD faq- https://realdash.net/faq.php Connectivity How to set up a connection?
How to improve OBD2 connection?
RealDash does not connect to my ECU. I know my adapter/connection works with other apps. What can I do? You can help us troubleshoot the problem. Here are the steps to enable debug logging and to send the log file to us for analysis.
Please send us an email when you have uploaded the debug log file. Since log files do not include any personal information, please note date and time of the log to help us find the correct log file.

Torque works well for me. Lots of gauge options for the OBDII data and it reads and clears "check engine" codes.

What are you using to connect? K+DCAN cable, or OBDII specific?
Only stumbling block we were having was wanting to use K+DCAN. In my case because it's hardwired to center console- just kind of a PITA to swap connections ya know

Anyone have suggestions for an OTG USB-C adapter for a k+dcan?
FYI it's a good idea to get a quality cable, check out **************.com/cables

I broke out my Carly BT adapter to test- turns out that RealDash has an OBD2 profile already in place for this thing- connected and worked perfect first time. Only problem for me is that I don't want to swap, so since my K+DCAN cable works fine with all my coding software (MHD, xHP & Carly) I will probably toss the Carly BT adapter back in the drawer and give up on this project for now...
Oh, and Matticus91, for the OTG cable- both the one that came with my K+DCan and the small adapter that came with my Galaxy S8 work fine.
