On-board computer and a scanner for Mercedes M111\M104 (HFM, PMS) based on the Android phone/tablet OBD2(ELM327)

Preparation of the Tablet, the connection adapter to Mercedes, customizing ELM327 programs.

So you've got an adapter, you now need to produce a Tablet/phone and install the program.
Attention! the most fully my adapter will work with the program HobDrive. The usefulness of the work is in:
1. original text of the error (Mercedes)
2. you will see additional parameters that are not part of the standard OBD Diagnostics, for example voltage MAF (does not work on the cars of the year 93), tag "idle speed", a sign of the air conditioning compressor, automatic transmission selector position (parking/neutral or drive position) and some other parameters.
So I suggest to install the HobDrive and update some files for it to work properly.

For Android: run PlayMarket and download the following software:

1. HobDrive Demo

2. OBD Auto Doctor

3. Torque Pro

4. EOBD Facile

5. OBD Car Doctor (PNN Soft)

Connect the adapter to the diagnostic connector.

If you Mercedes car have DLC 38 pin 38 and you have cable OBD2 female to MB38,

you car SsangYong Musso\Korando have DLC 14pin and have cable OBD2 female to MB14,

the connection is not a problem-the adapter connects to the cable and the cable plugs into the diagnostic socket.

When you don't have cable, then connect the wire 3 to the adapter as shown in Figure

W124 and W463(G320), Diagnostic Link Connector 16 connect as follows:

1 - Black banana
8 - Green banana or yellow wire (k-line)
16- Red banana

W202 / W210 / W140, Diagnostic Link Connector 38 as follows:

1 - black wire
2 - red wire
4 - yellow wire

The same adapter works with cars SsangYong Musso, Korando up to 98 years, with HFM.

DLC 14 pin, connect as follows:
1-black wire
2-Red wire
14-yellow wire

It should be noted that the best way to connect the adapter to the block and leave it there permanently. In this case, connect the positive (red cable) must be on the bus "15" rather than "30", at the time of machine downtime adapter was dead and did not podžiral the battery. Therefore, when using cable OBD2-MB38 and OBD2-MB14 you must resolder the power cord with the tyres tyre 30 15 (see the pinout pads, the links above)

First use.
