Does not work with my obd2 Bluetooth connection

Nifty idea and works well with my OBDII. Connection via Bluetooth was quick and seamless, then I piped the audio through ANOTHER Bluetooth connection to my stereo. When the sounds started piping out the speakers.... Pure joy. Only downside, and a pretty big one, the sounds when the RPM jumps between gearshifts are not smooth. Almost sounds like a lagging which doesn't feel natural. Would be good if that can be improved. I'm running on a Nexus 5X, a cheap China OBD2 and a 2011 Kia Forte with OEM stereo.

Good app IF, it seems, you are using the correct combination of hardware and android. Using cheap obd2 Bluetooth adaptor off eBay, the app works almost perfectly with a crappy old Samsung phone using Android 2.3 gingerbread. Sound of the engines need updating/improving imo (the XLR8 app sets the sound benchmark). Otherwise a good and well developed app. UPDATE; since updating phone to android Ice cream sandwich the app no longer works on Xperia Arc S!

OBD2 works well but I hate the sounds because they are almost movie-like... A plain, standard V8 as you would hear in real life (A 2005 Mustang GT with standard exhaust for example) with less video-game effects would be appreciated and more enjoyable than to ride Need for Speed on the way to work.

Just found out, my punto isnt obd2 but is very similar. Diagnostics as far as I know, are implemented in a subset of ISO9141-2 called FIAT9141. It works mostly like obd2, except for the protocol, which is ecu specific and based on KWP2000. Please implement this protocol as an android app called AlfaObd works on my car so it is possible to read engine speed (rpm) and i really want to be able to use this app.

OS: Android 2.3.4. (i.e. old one) ; Car : 2009 VW Jetta (CAN bus) ; ELM327 adapter : the "better" one by BAFX $24. Folks seem to say that this is solid/stable. Torque App connected immediately and works perfectly. It is sensitive to throttle position, engine speed, fuel pressure, etc. SpeedRacer found the OBD2 and locked on at CAN 11/500. According to the green OBD2 icon and info displayed on screen, the app correctly identified and connected to the CAN-BUS. But the Car icon stays red and the engine speed shown by SpeedRacer never changes. I tried changing all available options etc. Nothing has worked so far. Great idea but without the rpm via the obd2 connection, this app is useless.

About this app

Drive with the greatest engine sounds ever heard in a standard car!

Now you can experience some of the coolest engine sounds in the world when they actually follow the engine rpm of your car!

You need a car with an OBDII (OBD-2, On Board Diagnostic) connector, most modern cars have one.
You also need to install an OBDII Bluetooth adapter like the ones used for the Torque app, ELM327 v1.5, (not v2.1) is still the best type for this app, it sends the engine rpm to the Android phone and let the SoundRacer app play the real sports car and bike sounds when you drive. Connect the phone to car audio system for a great sound experience, have fun!

The sounds are recorded from famous sports cars and a classic motorcycle.
These genuine engine sounds are included:
Big American V8 muscle car - real Shelby sound
Exotic Italian V10 sports car - real Lamborghini sound
Legendary Italian V12 sports car - real Ferrari sound
Thrilling Japanese V10 supercar - real Lexus LFA sound
Classic American V-Twin motorcycle - real Harley sound

There are 5 different driving modes. Most exciting is of course the OBD-II mode where the sound follows the engine speed in the car you are driving. You can also use the manual, automatic, paddle or tilt modes.

The OBD-II app experience is as fun and exciting as driving a car with a real SoundRacer product but there are a couple of differences:
One feature in the app is that you can change the ratio between the engine rpm and the sound rpm. If, for example, you are driving a low rpm diesel it can be set so that engine sound goes on 6000 rpm when the car engine is doing 2500 rpm.
The sound and rpm following in the app is depending on the OBD-II adapter and phone performance and may be different than in the SoundRacer FM transmitter.


HOW TO USE:

ENGINE SCREEN
The Engine screen is the starting screen. Here you can select the engine sound with the tabs.

DRIVE SCREEN
The next step is to drive. Touch the Select Drive Mode button to reach the Driving screen. There you can select the driving mode, Manual, Automatic, Paddle, Tilt or OBD-II.

DRIVE WITH OBD-II
Plug in an OBD2 Bluetooth adapter and pair it with your Android phone.
Connect the phone sound output to the car audio system with AUX, Bluetooth or FM transmitter.
Select the OBD-II mode in the Drive screen.
Start the car engine.
Press the Start button in the app and hear the idling sound.
Wait for the three OBD indicators to turn green, sometimes you have to select the ODB-II adapter in a pop up window.
If the third indicator does not turn green, the app may not be able to detect the correct protocol for your car. You can then select the protocol in Menu/Settings. (Some cars have a protocol that is not compatible with the app, then you can cancel the app within two days and request a refund.)
Now you are ready to go!
Always drive safely, wait until you have parked the car in a safe location before you handle the app!

DRIVE MANUALLY
Select a manual mode in the Drive screen.
Start driving by touching the Start/Stop button and hear the start up sounds. Then you can accelerate with a touch control of choice. To hear the real engine sounds, use earphones or connect the phone to good speakers.

STOP ENGINE
By touching the Start/Stop button again you turn off the engine sound.

CHANGE ENGINE
If you touch the Select Engine button, you will navigate back to the Engine screen, and there you may select another engine sound.

MENU
You can select Information, Links, Settings or Share. Under Settings it is possible to change the RPM and car OBD protocol.

SHARE BUTTON
Send link to the app to your friends.

SOUND QUALITY
The volume of the engine sound is changed with the volume buttons of the phone. The sounds in the app are the same as in the SoundRacer products, genuine recordings from famous sports cars. Naturally, the great sound experience of driving a real Super Sports car can never be achieved with an app but this is as close as most of us come.

New features

The Tilt Drive Mode is repaired, and the "gearboxes" have been adjusted.
