The n7 in my car was a demo unit from Staples, but no that wouldn't matter anyways because I formatted it and put a new ROM.


BUT what I think is what happened is that account is a bot or some idiot guy and was scanning through the hashtags and stealing images and reposing them.

look at these tweets, they just look like random stuff from other people right?

good things if you are a skier. 8-15 in most of the big ski areas so they will all have a great Thanksgiving early season.

where did you get that from?

iCrap which BT Adapter did you use exactly? I used this one:

Amazon.com: BAFX Products - Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light & diagnostics - Android ONLY: Automotive Amazon.com: BAFX Products - Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light & diagnostics - Android ONLY: Automotive

It connected fine to the torque app, but then it says "Cannot talk to ECU ok" then it completely drained my battery and the car wouldn't start for like 10mins. What a useless pos.. I left it plugged in for 5 mins and all it did was drain the battery. Do you leave yours connected in all the time? I just want the live HP/TQ readings.

ah yeah i found that Autogeek one earlier, was wondering if that was the same one you got.

uhh ok that's weird. It should be like ECU OK and then start logging immediately. I don't leave it in all the time but I probably could. It DID kill the battery once but only after a week.

I used this one. But that one you PMed me before looked like a higher quality one than the one I got.

So my lower end generic one works better I guess?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-Mini-Bluetooth-Car-Diagnostic-Interface-Scanner-v1-5-OBDII-OBD2-Scan-Tool-/351221859631?hash=item51c674452f&item=351221859631&pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&vxp=mtrThat's the one.

mess around with the settings though, there are multiple settings for the OBD adapter in Torque, maybe yours just needs to be set differently.

The company that makes the BT Adapter I got also produces this:

2.5 Quart Chicken - Poultry waterer - drinker W/ 2 nipples - By BAFX Brands : Chicken Watering Devices

So I'm not 100% sure on the quality.

Aparently robpp has the same adapter and it works fine for him. Either it's defective or I'm doing something wrong.

Just 3m tape it onto the plate holder. No need to drill holes

^ Yeah that's a better idea actually.

Make sure you use the 20lb 3m stuff though (red). everything else is crap.

Can you remove the 3M tape? I plan on switching back to the Texas plates when not at the meets.

Where I live they don't care about front plates. I heard some areas are more strict though so if I go somewhere else Ill switch back. If I use bolts it only takes a few seconds to unscrew and rescrew them, but id rather use the 3m tape if it's removable.

oh then a better idea is 3m dual lock both plates and the plate holder so you can just pull it off and swap it easy
3M? Dual Lock? Reclosable Fasteners

and honestly i would just run the jap plate until you get stopped, cause all they are gonna do is warn you most likely. Or they might even think it's a vanity plate.

Other subforums says its not true Acura is making a minivan. It's MDX parts on an Oddessy shell or something, just to test the new Oddessy drivetrain or something.
