Thats great Bob thanks. I was already on the list so please advise how, when and where do we pay you. Also could you let me have a link to your website. Thanks Keith.
Ok here it goes.....
I ordered parts for an additional 9 pieces. When those are reserved, no more units will be made by me.
Parts are estimated to arrive here around the 4th of March.
Since July 2021 we have to pay import duties, so the price of a unit goes up a little.
If you still want one please reply below.
Please note: people who previously showed interest have priority.
final, final round details:
- I will only supply the soldered electronics, the USB cable and the button cap.
- The 3D print you can have it printed yourself using MJF or SLSNylon technique and (have it) painted or stained.
- For example, select a 3D print service from this list (and download the 3D print zip file from my website).
- The ELM327 "Vgate iCar Pro 4.0 bluetooth" you should order yourself (source 1 (UK) source 2 (US) source 3 (DE) source 4 (Ali))
- Ordering a different type of ELM327 device is not recommended.
- The cig power socket you should order yourself, I got these or these. (or get an other low profile one)
I am asking €63.50 for the electronics-only device, excl. shipping, excl. paypal fees.
Shipment standard with track and trace:
to the UK is €18.50, to the USA is €25.55
Shipment with Proof of sending and receipt (signature), Track & Trace, insured up to €100:
to the UK is €21.00, to the USA is €28.05
It seems that shipping to the USA has become cheaper.
Brilliant Bob, I'll nudge the guys on the other site now
I managed to put together your project and have tested it with a UNO + Bluetooth module so far.
I ordered the Vgate iCar Pro ELM 327 OBD2 Scanner BT 4.0 (which you recommended).
I tried it today but unfortunately after the connection, I keep getting the ELM STOPPED error.
I see this:

zoszabo72p,
it looks like you already solved your problem?
The version 3.0.1 you mention must be the ELMduino library.
I haven't tried that version yet.
Initially I started with an Arduino Nano, but changed over to an esp32 devkit v1.
My code is adapted to that.
Since you're running an Arduino UNO you might expect problems with the SSD1283A library (link to arduino forum)

The PowerBroker2 ELMduino 3.0.1 library can be used if 'if (myELM327.status == ELM_SUCCESS)' is replaced by 'if (myELM327.nb_rx_state == ELM_SUCCESS)'.
The problem is that all values are 0 or -1 when I try to test in the car.
On the phone, all the data comes nicely in the Torque app, but the Arduino doesn’t get any data.
I’m still trying, but I don’t really have an idea what the problem might be.
To any fence sitters out there, this unit that Bob has created is really very neat and works with the interior very well. It's great for the peace of mind. Mine has performed flawlessly since I got it. I put the supplied board in the printed holder I had made and plugged it all in. It worked without fuss right immediately and has always worked on a car that's only driven on occasion. It's a 5 star buy.
An update,
the parts were delivered early,
I will be able to ship out the 5 units the coming weekend.
Hi there what was the upshot in the end with the rpms can it pick them up?
I’d like to use something like this with rpm based 12v triggers for valve based exhausts - so for arguments sake from 2500rpm to 4000rpm enable the 12v trigger.. how hard would this be?
I realize I am too late for the ashtray device. I was and am still interested but got busy and forgot to order. Let me know if there is another opportunity, sorry about that.

RPM has never been a problem,
and your idea is easily implemented with a
