OBDLinkMX+ scanner communicates with phone app via bluetooth

hooked the scanner up to the DLC via a Honda DLC to OBD2 adapter cable

phone is mounted in a Juiced Squeeze wireless charger...btw the phone is easily removed from mount to receive/make calls...texts etc

scanner can read error codes and display various live engine parameters on phone (I set up a couple of pages)

Those 4 dials on the phone are pretty impressive details. Very cool.

Interesting! Do you have any links on where to purchase the DLC adapter cable, or did you make it yourself?

EDIT:
the 1100 is a 6 pin but evidently there was a change from 4 pin to 6 pin on the 300/500 models at some point
for proper pin count for the adapter cable check your bike's DLC plug

then Google Honda 4 or 6 pin plug to OBD2 cable which will produce multiple hits for links to cables on Amazon and eBay

is that K-line or CANBUS?

a little info on the current GPS I'm using

Garmin 700i GPS with inReach technology...ie 2 way messaging, interactive SOS and tracking capabilities via a global Iridium® satellite network (active satellite subscription required)

check all the features of the 700i here:

is that K-line or CANBUS?

the 1100 DLC has both K-Line and CANBUS high and low...I do not know which line the scanner is getting the live data from...but I would imagine error codes would be monitored on CANBUS

Google "Honda 6 pin plug to OBD2 cable" will produce multiple hits for links to cable on Amazon and eBay for the 1100

likewise Google a 4 pin plug for the 300/500

I will do that and get one set up for my bike, I already have an elm 327 and the torque pro app I use to diagnose my vehicles, do you think my set up would work or do I need another app/reader for the bike? I only want to monitor rpms/temperature on my phone through the app.

give it a try...

I ran the following scanner with Torque Pro with good results before buying the OBDLinkMX+ scanner

another thing to remember is if you are leaving the scanner attached permanently make sure it has a "sleep" feature or it will drain your battery...the OBDLinkMX+ scanner has this feature...the NEXAS one listed above doesn't and has to be unplugged when not in use

Update: the latest NEXAS model does have sleep mode...at $46 a good buy.

Just ordered an obd2 adapter, I will try it out with my existing hardware. If it does not work for some reason what you recommend will be ordered! Thanks for posting this post, I was close to buying a tach and wiring it in to monitor rpms but this route seems better 😅

Good point, I don't want to have that load on the battery at all times!

with only 2 gauges displayed you will have larger dials to read...here's RPM and coolant temp displayed on Torque Pro in one of several gauge styles to choose from

I am only waiting for the adapter cord at this point now. I like how that set up looks, those are the main gauges I want to monitor at this point.

Correct me if I am wrong, is this the plug I am looking for on the bikes end?

that's the plug

Copy that, I was sent the wrong adapter plug 😮‍💨

 

[Wwdf3j5]

I ordered this one now, hope it's the right one 😬

the 1100 has a 6 pin DLC....evidently there was a change from 4 pin to 6 pin on the other Rebel models at some point

my 2019 500 had a 4 pin

I edited my previous post above to note this

Thanks again, I now order the correct one for the 6pin.

I will be giving the 4pin away, no use for it.
