Thank you in advance for supporting this channel.
On this episode of OBD4Everyone we are going to do a speed test using the OBDLink SX scanner and an OTG (aka "on the go") cable on Android.
We will show you the sensor/PID read speed as shown in:
• OBDLink: Excellent and free program for OBDLink products.
• OBDFusion: $5 OBD app and worth every penny.
• Torque Pro: $5 OBD app and the OBD app everyone knows
AND show you how different apps, with the SAME OBD scanner and SAME Android tablet results in VERY DIFFERENT SPEEDS. To be honest, we were a little surprised at the difference.
This is THE FASTEST OBD scanner we have ever tested, by a long shot!!
(It even beat the test done in E21 from April 2021!!)
With to the reliable USB connection and the fast speed, this is my "go to" setup when I need to log a lot of sensor data (30+ PIDs) and I want to log it FAST.
and... Faster is always better :)

Great Video. I've invested a lot of energy to get more PIDs/sec and I finally could archieve +300 PIDs/sec with a CANable adapter. I've made an application to convert the ELM327 to SLCAN protocol for that purpose. Even the USB Adapters are using serial lines internally, it's probably the bottleneck of these.

@OBD4Everyone 10 месяцев назад

Nice work! Going straight to the CAN bus will give you fantastic PID speeds. The typical ELM327 uses 38,400 bps communication between the Bluetooth module and the 18F25K80 micro controller... and (as you mentioned) that is the bottleneck.

I bought an SX back in approximately 2015 I think and used it on a laptop. It then sat in a closet for around five years. I bought a 2004 Miata recently and needed it. The laptop had become unbearably slow and unusable due to win10 and old technology . So I bought a cheap android tablet. I connected the SX to it with OBDLink and it came up and ran fine. It downloaded a firmware update, Went from 4.x to the latest 5.x and it works great on my Miata. I am thoroughly impressed. This is a company that makes long lasting products, doesn't drop them and has tremendous product support. That is something rarely seen these days. I suggest anyone needing a scanner to buy one from OBDLink. If the time comes for me I will buy an MX+ but right now the SX meets my needs.

I agree... OBDLink makes great products and sticks by their 3 year warranty.

I only get 25 pids/second in obdlink(samsung S24 ultra) at my camaro2018 with the obdlink sx 🤔 Have i to do a special setting to get faster connection ? Or could be the otg the problem?

@JustWasted3HoursHere 2 года назад

For my particular situation, maximum speed is not nearly as important as connection reliability. Have you found the wired USB connection type more reliable than with bluetooth? I've heard that some bluetooth dongles will go into low power mode and/or disconnect under certain conditions. I'm hoping this is no the case with your USB OBD2 cable setup.

@OBD4Everyone 2 года назад

Great question! You would think a USB connected device would be the best... But in testing last week, it seems my OTG cable or tablet doesn't make a firm connection and looses connection to the ECU unless I tape the cable to the tablet to prevent it from moving. From all the testing / data logging I have done, I have never had a VeePeak or OBDLink MX+ disconnect while data logging, and some of my data logs are just over 3 hours.

@JustWasted3HoursHere 2 года назад

@@OBD4Everyone That's good to know. I know some applications are ultra sensitive to cable connection stability. For example, Android Auto complains at even the _slightest_ movement of the cable it seems unless you have a really really solid connection with a high quality cable. For that reason I researched the best cables to use for Android Auto and ended up with one from Anker which has worked very well. To make a long story short, in the near future I'm going to replace my laggy/slow head unit in my 2016 Kia Soul EV electric car with a zippy Android based one with tons of features, but in order to keep some of the important info available (like battery health), I'll be running Torque Pro (or one of the alternatives) to show those pieces of info when I need them.

Hi! I use obdlink mx plus with iphone 12 and obdlink app. My refresh rate is only 10 PIDs/sec. ☹️ What can I do if i would like faster refrasesh rate???? Thanks

@OBD4Everyone 2 года назад

In OBDLink under settings > preferences > communications make sure "Fast Polling" is ON and dwell time is set to 0. If the PID speed is the same, that is as fast as your car can respond to OBD requests. From what I have seen, the newer cars are slower due to enhanced security and network gateways.

@OBD4Everyone 2 года назад

I have not any problems with any of the OBDLink products I own (MX+ and SX), so I lean toward them. I also like the well organized diagnostic report. It creates a nice snap shot of the vehicle's health. I run this report after every oil change. It some problem does pop up, I can have a look at what is different. This can be helpful when troubleshooting. I have only used the BlueDriver a few times and it didn't really connect with me. I should have another look and put out a review.

Watched the video earlier. Great channel with concise descriptions, explanations, and video length. Just came back into the video to use your affiliate link. Find a good supplier of OTG USB 3.0 cables, and add an affiliate link for that. (I know the SX is USB 2.0, but USB DAC's, and streaming, and futureproof, etc.) One other thing. When you click the affiliate link, it goes from within the RU-vid app to Amazon (as apposed to opening up a chrome window) if I add the item to my cart, but back out of RU-vid, then complete the purchase on the browser, do you still get the commission? I'll normally add items to my cart and then sleep on it. Want to make sure I'm not accidently nullifying the commission to creators.

@OBD4Everyone 3 года назад

Hey Brian M, Well, that is odd... Those speed test numbers were from an my Samsung Galaxy Tab A, 10.1 (SM-T580) running Android 8.1.0, on my 2011 G37. I just checked the 2013 factory shop manual and your CAN bus network layout is the same as my 2011 G37. (as in, no OBD gateway). So our vehicle networks should be the same. Do you have "fast polling" turned on and "dwell" set to zero, as shown in the video? (I think they are now the default setting, but you might want to double check) Also, make sure data logging is turned off. One last test: Try turning off wifi and bluetooth. Maybe the phone is prioritizing wireless data over wired... I don't know but I would expect you to get a similar speed. (unless android tablets prioritize USB speed higher than phones??) Can you borrow another Android device (maybe a tablet) and test the speed?

@brianm6454 3 года назад

@OBD4Everyone 3 года назад

Hey TeutonicSpeedracer, I have looked at the Banks gauges. They make an excellent high quality product, but they are not inexpensive. As for the PIDs they support, I suspect that is vehicle dependant since they use the OBD service mode $01 to get that data.

@TeutonicSpeedracer 3 года назад

@@OBD4Everyone It is vehicle dependent, but if I do know they're available via say scanguauge II x guages (TPMS, wheel speeds, tire temps,etc), it would be nice to have available to enter these PIDs by the user. Maybe Fusion can get these same PIDs, but the Banks mount option is very OEM-esque.

Does the tablet have to have a otb port? I'm looking to hard wire a tablet to the obd2 for speed/tach. Im looking for zero delay. If I buy a obd2 that has a USB end can I comect the USB into a tablet that allows for a USB and run a digital gauge app?

@OBD4Everyone 2 года назад

^^^ Yes. Many Android tablets support "OTG" (on the go) cables. This gives the tablet a USB port. I used that to plug in a USB connected OBD scanner (OBDLink SX) I have done speed test on the cheaper USB "ELM327" and they are slower. This is due to the USB connection speed, which is 38,400 bits per second. The SX runs at 115,200, so it is just much quicker. Now, 38,400 bits per second may be more than enough for your application of speed and tach. Also, depending on the communication protocol your ECU uses, the updates may not be "instant". Most cars made for the North American market from 2008+ use CAN Bus and that runs at 500,000 bits/sec. That's quick! If you car is 2007 or older, the communication speed will be around 12,000 bits/second or slower. Good luck with your project!

@thogevoll 2 года назад

It's apparent by your testing that a hardwired connection is much faster than Bluetooth wireless. This is what anyone should expect. It might be better to do separate testing to see who has the fastest Bluetooth speed or the fastest USB speed. Have you done any comparison of different Bluetooth code readers?

@OBD4Everyone 2 года назад

I did a few years ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U2zrz7ofFFw.html Keep in mind, the PID speed is mostly determined by the OBD protocol used and if the OBD system has an OBD Gateway. From what I have seen, any vehicle with "ADAS - advanced driver assistance system" will have an OBD gateway and much slower PID speed. A few years ago, I tested a 2019 BMW 330 and the PID speed was 12/second using an OBDLink MX+. My 2011 Infiniti gives ~45 PIDs/second using the same device,.

Hi there. Tha so for sharing such great content with us. Love your channel. Question: I have been using obd link for long time. Have it all set up just like you on my android devi e but the refreshing rate for my device is averaging 35 PIDs per second. What could be wrong? If I try to mallnually set the baud rate to 500.000, it won't connect so I have to leave as automatic or 115.000. thank you.

@OBD4Everyone 3 года назад

The PID read speed is mostly determined by how quickly your ECU/PCM is programmed to reply to the OBD requests. -AND- newer vehicles have a CAN bus gateway to protect the car's network which can slow down the PID read speed. Bottom line: If you have followed the steps to set "fast polling" and "Dwell time" the speed you get, is the best speed for your application.

@eupeixoto 3 года назад

@OBD4Everyone Год назад

EcuTek uses the fast CAN bus to get the data quickly. Since your Altima is a 2008, it should also use the CAN bus to get OBD data, as that was mandated for the 2008 model year. However, if it is using ISO-9141, you won't get OBD data very fast, as it is much slower. I think your LX is fine. Try testing it on a 2010+ Nissan or Infiniti to verify that it can read faster.

The update speed of the gauges depends on a few things: • The protocol and speed of your car's OBD system • The speed of your OBD scanner • The speed of your OBD scanner connection to the device (laptop, phone or tablet) Older cars networks runs at about 12,000 bits/second. 2008 and newer cars have a network speed of 500,000 bits per second.

The PID/second (aka sensor update speed) depends on the vehicle, communication protocol used and how the engine controller is programmed to reply to diagnostic requests. The MX+ bluetooth is very good. I don't think I have had a single error or have it disconnect in the 3+ years I have been using them. The graph function is limited to 4 items.

Correct... the add-ons are licensed to the tool, not the app. The app developer is required to pay thousands of $$$ per year for access to the factory definitions.

I have a tuned 2018 Hyundai 1.6T dual clutch 35,000 miles. I bought a Banks iDash gauge and noticed on full acceleration I was only getting 14.2-.14.9ish on idle through full throttle. Stuck in open loops comes to mind???? Bought 2 new OEM sensors to be safe. They are idiot proof, installed correct spot. AF has a large dish shield. Still the same and on coasting I get a 7.3 reading, the direct opposite I normally get a 28 to 29 on my old logs. The tuner said I would be stalling the engine at 7.3, so he thinks it is some form of false reading. I tested it with BT VeePeak Fusion/ iphone and it backs up the iDash readings. All this is the same reading with stage 2 and now down stage 1 as I want it to be safer as it is a daily driver. Any idea what could be giving me 7.3:1 on deceleration, where I was once at 29:1 ? It is a MAP sensored car. I don't know if I really need to check it with laptop/windows obdlink sx usb red adapter since 2 different platform agreed.

@OBD4Everyone Год назад

I am not familiar with that engine, but I will give it a shot... The Banks iDash and the VeePeak/OBD Fusion both read the data from the engine control unit using OBD mode $01, aka live data. That's why they show the same values. An air/fuel ratio of around 30 is normal when the throttle is closed and the vehicle is slowing down. To verify the sensors/data, you might want to flash back to stock and see what they read. Generally during wide open throttle, the air/fuel ratio is in the 12s (or lower), and during constant speed cruising it should be mid 14s. If you have an air/fuel ratio of 7 when the throttle is closed and slowing down, maybe the tuner is dumping fuel into the exhaust for a pops/bang result?

@tedtedness184 Год назад

@@OBD4Everyone No, I hate pops and bangs and would never have a tune that way, and I have logs from my Fusion App at 29 with throttle closed. I don't get why they can't read simple OBD2 speced logs correctly.

@OBD4Everyone Год назад

Maybe the tune has messed with the internal voltage to air/fuel ratio? Flash back to stock and see... Or read the voltage off the air/fuel sensor and use the factory shop manual table of volts to AFR and see what the ECU is actually seeing for AFR in a "raw/unfiltered" format. Good Luck!

Does this have bi directional communication

@OBD4Everyone 3 года назад

Nope, it doesn't have any bi-directional features (as in the app turning on/off a fuel injector/fuel pump) Generally, devices with that ability start at $500 and run up to a few thousand dollars.

Can someone please help me out! I have this exact same setup OBD2 link SX and a android tablet. Vehicle info: 03 lq9 LS 411pcm standalone harness. Can only connect with key on engine off. As soon as the engine is running I lose all connection. I've traced back all the OBD2 pins #2 data 4&5 ground a pin 16 constant power. everything looks to be okay. I can cont via laptop no problem but not tablet. I'm trying to run tablet as gauge cluster. Firmware is up to date. I can connect to other vehicles just fine except this one. Please can someone please help iv been fight this for weeks now.

@OBD4Everyone 2 года назад

I believe that engine used SAE J1850 VPW for the OBD protocol... That means there should be data on pins #2 (J1850+) and pins 10 (J1850-) Since the laptop and SX work, but not the tablet and SX, I would try a different android device or contact OBDLink SX support forum and see what they say: www.scantool.net/forum/index.php#c4

@collinrobinson4306 2 года назад

@@OBD4Everyone thank you for responding I have confirmed the data to pin 2 there is nothing pin 10 would you know what pin on the 411 PCM has (j1850-). Iv tried two other tablets with no success. Iv even hook it up to my buddies 03 Chevy 1500 and my girlfriend 2020 Buick and they connect with no issues. But now that you bring up pin#10 I did notice those cars did have a wire at pin #10 on the OBD2 so maybe that's what I'm missing. I'll try and find a pin out to see where pin 10 should go on the PCM and let you know. Thanks!

I am very behind in getting videos out. Most of my time has been focused on my other channel (MotorvateDIY) and developing CAN bus gauges and gear position indicators that use the factory gauges. I do have a lot of content to get out, I'm just not sure when that will happen, but will try to move OBD content up on my priority list. Hang in there!

shameless plug for roughly 1k pids/sec here, but you already know I'm using my own program/script I wrote using python.

@OBD4Everyone 3 года назад

Hey Mitch, its good to her from you. However, 1,000 PID/second? I don't think the ECU would respond to the requested data at that rate. Raw CAN bus broadcasts are no faster than 10ms (100/sec) and you are suggesting that you can ask and receive a PID in 1ms?
