Hey guys! I was wondering if I can tune my car with my phone. I am buying a TurboXS UTEC ( engine management system) and I will need to connect a laptop/pda to it to do anything to it. Does anybody know if my phone will be able to do what a laptop can do for my car? Any help or comments would be appreciated. TIA!

I really doubt it. Engine managment requires some kind of software that I doubt is set up for the ppc, nevermind how you would connect it to ur ppc.

What kind of car out of curiosity?

This might be what you're looking for:

Hardware here.
Software and more hardware here.

(I haven't used those yet myself, so I can't vouch for them. By coincidence, I had been researching this stuff in the past few days in preparation for a carputer that I'm planning to put together.)

Edit:
Here's a Bluetooth OBD interface. Too cool.

... But again I'm not sure if that's the kind of thing you were looking for or if you already have what you need. ... Looks like the thing you linked to is a lot more comprehensive than OBD.

Hmm... not quite, but I think we are getting really close. On the link it says that any laptop or pda with windows 3.1 or above can be used. I wonder if windows mobile 6 would count as a higher version than windows 3.1.
