ecm Bluetooth module

[neilrl79]

After a failed attempt to build my own Bluetooth module for use with my Android devices and the ECM Droid app, I decided to buy one from xopti inside , unfortunately he seems to be MIA as his Bluetooth modules a have been listed as "coming soon" for quite some time and he has failed to answer any emails I have sent requesting a status on when they will be available. I did find 2 Bluetooth connectors on eBay and was curious if any of you had any experience with them...

They are both from the same seller, this one , and then a revised smaller version .

I would really like to try my hand at data logging and custom tuning and having my NEXUS 7 Android tablet in my tank bag would be a lot more convenient than trying to put my 17” laptop in a backpack.

did you use the same parts as in my photos? i will try to get mine working this weekend or this week. weather isnt working to my favor. what errors are you getting?

 

[buellxb9rs]

I actually make those, I didnt want to step on anyone's toes by posting that here since I knew someone else already made them but since someone else has brought it up ill say something. I have several other electronic add on pieces planned in the near future. If you have any questions about them, just let me know.

 

[neilrl79]

This is what I built following someone's guide(can't remember who's because I attempted this last summer)

And I get these errors

By no means am I claiming that I'm awesome with soldering electronics but believe I did an adequate job. I think maybe the Bluetooth modem itself is the problem.

I'm so dumb, when I read this my brain didn't realize that you meant you make the ones I linked to in my post.

I used this guide buell xb forum ecm bluetooth guide
I bought all the components that Zittele listed and mine has been working perfectly. In fact I leave mine plugged in all the time

Your problem could be a corrupt bluetooth module or a voltage regulator problem.

 

[chief_of_smoke]

another issue could be the baud rate needs to be changed.

 

[HMTRAN]

Voltage regulator problem can cause problems with linking to the ecm? I just ask because I have a bluetooth adapter from xpoti and it worked great on my '07 lightning. Just today tried to link it to my '09 lightning and it won't show up when I scan for bluetooth devices. The battery had mysteriously died, so I just did a quick diagnostic charge so I can link to it and see what's wrong. Apologies to neil for jumping in on this post, but I figured if its an interchangeability issue with xpoti's device or a vr prob you would want to hear also

 

[buellxb9rs]

The regulator needs at least 9v input to work correctly. If the bike isn't running then the vs isn't doing anything. It only converts the power from the stator while running

You have your RX and TX (white and green) backwards. Switch them at the plug and try again.

Got mine on Ebay from Xopti and its plugged in permanently. Works like a dream off my android phone. TPS resets a breeze and never had any connection issues. Makes my friends a bit grumpy with their fancy gs1200's. and KTM's especially when I switch my fan on with my cellphone. would be ever better if i could start it too...

 

[benjaminscholz]

Srwmoto sells them water and heat resistant you can keep it connected all year round no problems

 

[buellxb9rs]

Srwmoto is more than double the cost of mine and that doesn't include shipping or a warranty on it like I offer.

 

[jstav]

how much does yours cost? and can you put up a pic?

 

[Jcastro4089]

buellxb9rs, I too am interested in your price? I don't have android though. Does anyone know if there is a comparable iOS app? Thanks.

 

[Cosworth]

The problem with IOS is that it doesnt like to connect to non approved devices, unless something has changed in the last upgrade or so.

 

[buellxb9rs]

$75, I would do $70 for forum members. Comes with a 6month warranty. You can use ios but you need to be jailbroken, buy styletap, and have the palm version of ecmspy. It also works with PC for TunerPro ecmspy etc

PM sent.

Well as a warning to all. Connecting the Bluetooth module to ECMSPY aint nearly as easy as connecting to ECMDROID. If I had to redo my purchase ill go with the cabled version instead. My laptop needs a whole bunch of settings and procedures to get the ECMSPY to talk to the BT module. It picks up the module alright, and sets it to a com port but ECMSPY wont see it unless you set it with a special com port program. The details is on the web but it aint just a click away.
