  1. Hi Guys

     

    I'm looking at getting my car mapped as I have a new exhaust and filters. The mapper in question is Alan Jefferies (Engine Tuner) in Plymouth.

     

    I wanted to know a little more about their software and they are using AlienTech to map my 350. Is this the same as Superchips were they just load a generic map on?

     

    Cheers

  2. Thanks. I have the occasional dropout but I'm with EE so the coverage is pretty good. I use Here maps. You can use it offline just download the map the do UK and or every country in Europe and it's free.

    Awesome install mate, looks perfect.

     

    I've an Archos tablet which was built into my 350 by the previous owner. Only issue is it has no signal so I'm guessing there is no sim attached. Have you had any issues using your phone as a hotspot, it's something I've previously thought about as it has Bluetooth connectivity.

     

    Due to it not having any sig the apps on It will be dated, any recommendations for sat nav etc or just general apps that people think are a must in the car. It already has the torque app which is connected to the Bluetooth dongle.

  3. Thanks. I'm using Smart launcher pro. I've just rooted it so standard rom apart from that. To make the tablet power on if it's completely flat have a look at this.

    Nice install!

     

    Do you know what OS and launcher you are using? that's a better solution that then one I have!

     

    Are you using Timur's ROM for the power management? if not would love to hear what tweak you did for the power as I'm struggling with Timur's ROM on anything remotely modern (OS wise) :(

  4. How do you switch on the tablet and also what obd dongle are you using with torque pro because most of us are struggling with getting these to talk to the cars engine management.

     

    I've rooted it and changed a file so if it's run out of power as soon as a power source is detected it turns on. If it's still got battery erobot handles it. So if power detected power on screen, wifi, bluetooth and gps. If power source is lost its runs an application called screen of as well as powering down the wifi,gps and bluetooth.

     

    I was using this fine but I've changed to a bluetooth version so I can hook my pad up to my phones hot spot
