You can connect to the adapter via Bluetooth. There are STN1110 and ELM327 versions available complete w/ gerbers and Altium source.<br>
Check them out here: <a href="http://batman.homelinux.com/blog/bluetooth-obdii-adapter/" rel="nofollow">OBD-II Bluetooth Adapters</a> The adapters are open source and hackable!</p>

your version of the proposed breakout board? I think that it's a better solution (as long as cable length isn't a limiting factor for any of your busses) because I've worked as a salesperson at Advance Auto Parts, and plugged scanners into many cars' OBDII ports, and it would be very difficult to make a breakout compatible with everything. The cable puts it right where you need it - In the passengers' hands, or the center console.<br>
I am glad that you carry it, as I haven't done business with Suntek before and would prefer just adding yours to my next order :) Thanks!</p>

Product brief and sample schematics (including development board schematics) can be found here:<br>
<a href="http://www.scantool.net/microobd-200.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.scantool.net/microobd-200.html</a><br>
We plan to release the EAGLE files for the dev board once we test the Rev B protos.<br>
A variety of OBD cables are available from www.obd2cables.com. One trick you can use to make the connector fit better over the DLC, is heat it up with a blowdryer just prior to plugging it in.<br>

The protocols can be easily done - reading J1850 over the IC3 pin (or the read (I'm doing it now), the ISO9141/14230 are UARTs with a few extra waves, and there's CAN.<br>
(BTW - my main job is doing diagnostic equipment for cars so I know OBD, and the ETI extensions and J2534).<br>
The best thing would be a breakout with space for or the actual drivers for each of the protocols. They usually aren't standard and hard to duplicate with discrete components.</p>

I am currently working on a version with a 2.8" LCD with touchscreen.</p>

It fit nicely into all but the Audi, VW. The first proto of the breakout is a little tight on those 2 makes. We are working on a solution before releasing anything.<br>
Thanks</p>

I'd be concerned about breaking a PC board when unplugging it. I think I'd rather have a cable with a nice strong plug on the end to keep the stress away from the board. But I do like having something like this available. It opens up a lot of possibilities...</p>

I tried making a schematic for this at one point, but I'm no good at Eagle. It would be pretty cool because it would allow you to make custom gauges, dataloggers, etc. that not only can read data from the car, but would be able to send arbitrary commands to the car as well. Or is this a liability? You decide.<br>
Check out this interesting read on the security of the CAN bus in most modern cars (or the complete lack thereof). It's quite a read, especially the fact that you can compile arbitrary code and run it in the RAM of any of the car's ECUs if you really wanted to.<br>
