If your car has Bluetooth enabled sensors, than with this program you can take advantage of these sensors with plenty of useful functionality! Moreover: next time you will be buying a car, you can pay attention that it will be equipped with such sensors … so you can use your Microsoft smartphone to take advantage of them…

This software displays live trip data, live fault information and on-board fault check status, diagnostic sensor data, reads diagnostic trouble codes, and clears the “check engine” light. It works in these steps:

* Your OBD Bluetooth Transmitter is being discovered and connected.
* Once the vehicle’s ECU is accessable, a wait screen is shown
* There are options to connect via Bluetooth or to simulate some data traffic from a vehicle
* Live sensors are updated frequently
* The number of sensors supported depends on your vehicle. Up to 80 may be detected.
* Increasing data values are shown in blue. Those that are decreasing are highlighted in red with static data shown in black.
* The sensor data may be used to assess vehicle performance.
* On your Smartphone you may use the right arrow, or nudge the joystick to the right to go to the next page of sensors.
* Choose Trip Logs from the Options Menu
* Your trip is logged with current speed, average speed, total distance, trip time, average and current fuel economy and total fuel usage.
* You may reset the trip data at any time and view the data in different units (e.g miles or kilometres).
* Fault data stored by your vehicle is always accessible. Fault codes are displayed with MIL lamp status and a fault description.
* The inspection and maintenance statuses are displayed at the top of the screen. Tests which are completed are shown in green.
* From the faults menu, select Reset ECU to reset all the ECU fault codes.
* Once the ECU is reset the fault codes will be erased
* Using the VitalScan simulator for the Smartphone requires a text message to be sent. This is merely a feedback mechanism and will not cost more than your standard SMS tariff. This does not apply to the demonstration program, only the beta release version
