This is an application for Sailfish OS, which connects to an OBD ELM327 bluetooth car diagnostic reader.

You need an ELM327 OBD bluetooth adapter to use this app!!! Don't buy a cheap one like me. Of three adapters I bought, only one is working properly.

The app can:

  • search for adapters via bluetooth scan
  • connect and identify ELM327
  • find out which PID's are supported by car controller
  • read and display several PID values from car controller
  • show diagram for chosen PID values
  • if activated, write communication with ELM327 to file
  • show if the vehicle has errors, clear errors

ToDo's:

Supported languages are:

  • english
  • german

This software is open source GPLv3. Sourcecode: https://github.com/jdrescher2006/OBDFish

Please report bugs/issues to here:

Enjoy!!!

It works well under 3.1.0.11(Seitseminen) with XA2 (Plus/Ultra/normal) as well with Xperia X. I've not yet tested it with Jolla 1. Seems that I can see all car data as described but can't clear error message from car but that also doesn't work with the Android apps I tried.

Hey there, on XA2 Plus with 3.0.2.8 it also doesn't run without using command "pkcon install qt5-qtconnectivity-qtbluetooth-devel" - Make yourself sure you are ROOT when doing so and say "y" when asked for dependecies. Viel gluck!

Doesn't work with SFOS 3.0.2.8.
Die App funktioniert leider nicht mit SFOS 3.0.2.8; ODB-Adapter war noch nicht angeschlossen. Der Startvorgang bricht ohne Meldung ab.

Thank you for this geat app. If you need a tester for development, feel free to contact me. I'm missing some PIDs such as air intake pressure.

I'm using 0.94-1 on my X with 2 different ELM327 Adapters. I had to install qt5-qtconnectivity-qbluetooth first to get it to work.

1. It seems that there is no log file even when "write logfile" is enabled in the settings. Don't know why.

2. We need an option to remove known BT adapters from the list (for now i have to remove it in ~/.config/harbour-obdfish/harbour-obdfish.conf manually).

3. We need an option to save settings from "Dynamische Werte/Dynamic Values). Every time i connect to the adapter i have to enter settings by hand.

4. Last but not least, thank you for this great app.

Hello guys, I am not sure if it is good idea to install these packages to make it run. I have Jolla 1 device, same behaviour, through terminal I have found out the something like QT5 BT package is missing, but I am not sure if it can do something wrong with BT functionality :/

I ran into the same issue; you have to install 

qt5-qtconnectivity-qtbluetooth

to resolve the dependency.

That weird, I have a Xperia-X here with SFOS 2.2.1.18 and it works.

Please go to terminal and type harbour-obdfish. Then copy and paste the output here.

Hi,
Sadly on my sailfish X 2.2.1.8, I have an error at installation.
Qt5-qtconnectivity-qbluetooth-5.6.2+git0-1.2.4 ... Is not found.

I assume it needs to be recompiled. I will try if I can spare some time.

hey,
lately i've got message 'no suported PID's found' even thou for first time i get connected and supported PIDs Mode01 and Mode09 and reading from Battery voltage. adapter is paired. tried also reinstall OBDfish but no success. I am on jolla taalojärvi.Using bt mini adapter (blue color) that looks exactly as jdrescher posted here link.
car is citroen berlingo multispace 2004.
latest log file tells me it is UNABLE TO CONNECT for "send 100" "send 120" "send140" "send 900".
any similar experience here?
thankx.

adapter seems to be faulty or connector in car got somehow broken ?
i've tested it with obd auto doctor on win phone and got message “failed to detect vehicle”.
now i do not have another car or another adapter for testing.

I also have an adapter which is behaving like this. Those china parts are manufactured really bad, especially the soldering. You might try to open it and check if one of the soldering joints is bad.

Hi! Nice to see finally an OBD-Application here. Can you tell me what ELM327-Device you have finally bought? Because practically you can buy either a fake from a range between 10-30 Euro or something which claims te be a original for around 100 Euro, but also without a guarantee.

Hello, I bought a cheap ELM327 from amazon.de which is from version 2.1. This one is really good and does everything I tested so far. So there are cheap ones which are good!

But I also have two older adapters with v1.5 which are not working properly.

Problem with the cheap ones is that you never know if they work properly and don't do anything bad with your car controller.
