To the best of my knowledge, Peter never wrote the Ecutalk software for IOS. I believe he's a C# programmer.
There would need to a Windows emulator for iPad and I don't see that happening
Are you just using it as a screen??
i do have an old pos andriod pad i can use i guess if i can get a cable for that
Its USB to mini usb isnt it didnt you get a screen?
no i am or was trying to get one to work on the ipad so i dont have to buy the lot, apparently there is a blue tooth adaptor you can use but again only on android or a laptop, i want to be able to change the screen to show the gauges while on the fly.
Hodge just brought one, see how he intends to use his Ecu-talk
What sort of head unit do you have Stropp?
just scans/scrolled through all the mount available on ebay,
I've since used double sided tape and taped it in front of the insrruments.
Works well there IMO and out of the way
Here you go

I've got the ECUTalk to work on Linux laptop albeit only in virtual machine running Windows. ECUTalk is based on C# and Linux Mono package is suppose to take care of that but I haven't been able to get it working as it uses some obscure/obsolete MS only software calls.
Other alternative is Android based device with Nissan Data Scan software and ELM327 BT OBD2 adapter, it basically does everything ECUTalk does.

I bought the cable - USB direct from ECUTalk. Intention is to just run it through one of my small netbooks...
However, I have an Android head unit, meaning I could possibly run Torque app using this.....

Still early days, Just doing my research on whether this will work or not.
Sorry mate, you can't use that Torque app, that would only work on OBD2 protocol which yours it ain't even though the plug used looks like it. If you still had your ZD30 CrD it would work. Also I just noted you boys run TD42. ECUTalk is useless on that if there is no ECM. It only works on TD42Ti with ECM basically series3 and 4 only (2003-2006) which seems like the ones you have but still ECM only performs support functions so I'm not sure what you are expecting.
Anyway, Android (The Nissan DataScan II for Android is intended for newer Nissan cars equipped with 16 pin OBDII connecter and use Consult II protocol over K line DDL2 with Bluetooth adaptor that utilises the ELM327 chip for communication) or Windows (ECUTalk) only. Why would you buy that expensive ConsultBT adapter is beyond me when ELM327 BT adapter can be had for ~$10+
Regards
@Hodge, if you'd like to PM me your email I can send you a copy of the EC.PDF which outlines what functions of the TD42Ti ECU can be read by Nissan Consult.
Ecutalk should read the same functions and possibly OBD Scantech software should also be able to read them using the Ecutalk cable.

i just googled it and they are almost ready to release the ios version :) so i will wait as its being tested now by KLASLO.COM and they have a video on youtube.
thats the page

That looks like it's for OBD2. The TD42Ti isn't OBD2 compliant
Thanks mate. I do have a 4.2TDi . Which ECUTalk reads and is consult compliant.
ELM327 as far as I can see and understand is OBDII which won't work on mine, meaning the ELM327 isn't going to work either ? Therefore if I want BT, i have no choice. For now I think I will stick with USB ECUTalk plugged into my small Netbook.
Basically the most important function I'd like to see is the Coolant temps that the factory sensor reads, so that I can compare to my second aftermarket gauge readings.
You shouldn't really accept that the factory sensor is what will be the most accurate. I had an issue with mine some time back and it was reading consistently too low.
I replaced it and it more closely reflected the thermostat controlled temps.
Yeah i figured both won't be accurate to a degree but I guess between the two I can gauge roughly what the Temps are during different driving conditions and then monitor any changes from there on.

Well we have well and truly sabotaged Stropps thread. My apologies. lol
@ threedogs
My 3L CRD, needle moved every so slightly from under half, to half, and sometime just over half. Numerically this was equivallent from 87 - 91C respectively.
However, my 4.2 once up to running temps, gets to just under half and stays there no matter what ambient temps, how hard I push the car, whether air con is on or not ... It makes no difference, which to me anyway is slightly concerning. Now I don't tow, and do not intend on towing anything more than a 6x4 trailer to the tip, for any forseeable future, but still......
I'd like to see whats happening numerically. Which is why I'd like to compare the pair and go from there.
OOI Ill see if I can use my phone plugged into my ecu-talk as a display only,,, for you Stropp
There back on track sorta
