Aide, bought the app to go with the cheap tablet but a month later the tablet battery is fked, can I just upload the app to a new tablet when I get one or am I expected to pay for the app again too?
Hi HarryW, on your new tablet, if you log into it with the same google account as before you can restore all your apps. Afaik there's no upper bound on the number of installs per device so you should be ok.HTH!

Lovely feature with android when you've put too many attempts into remembering your password is to ask you to authenticate, but gives you no word to type in, wonderful...

Aide rest easy, finally after 2 hours of trying i've got back into my google account and uploaded the app again
That's good news HarryW, if you have any other probs let me know. (I have so many passwords for various work & email, PlayStore & AppStore etc etc.. I always struggle with the least used one!)

If the amplitude of the crank sensor signal to the ECU isn’t high enough then, at higher frequencies, the ECU starts to fail to read it.
However in my tests, upping the amplitude corrected this failure to read.
i.e. with a strong enough signal feeding the ECU I could easily simulate 8000 rpm and read it from my test ECU via RS-AJP.
I have the same problem, and have a new sensor, and am going to fit it this weekend to see if it will cure the problem.
The sensor is a "Ford Fiesta, Granada, Sierra Crankshaft Sensor" from http://www.worldcarparts.co.uk/
It was £13.80 delivered and they take PayPal
I changed my crank sensor on Sunday and I still have the issue.However in my tests, upping the amplitude corrected this failure to read.

However, my dash rev counter happily goes past 7,000.
I have a couple of things I can do to investigate this further.
I might ask MBE for some insight as well, but they'll probably tell, me to shag off

Thanks for the info. Do you know whether the crank sensor output goes to both the ecu and the dash tacho, simultaneously as it were, or does it supply one which then feeds the other? I'm just wondering how it works/which component could cause these symptoms.However, my dash rev counter happily goes past 7,000.

Hi there,
Any recommendations on a good cheap tablet / phone to run this app? I will be buying it solely for this purpose ( unless it looks like becoming apple compatible any time soon? 😜), and i am keen to mount something as a permanent display in the dash cuddy.... Although i do also like thhe idea of front mounting on the dash to use as a HUD, althhough im guessing you end up with a distorted image due to collimation?
Unless, Aide, what is involved in making the app Pioneer car play compatible? I bought an all singing all dancing puoneer headunit, in the hope of running it on that, given they list themselves as android compatible, but this is only for CarPlay apps.... Is this something you have ever investigated?

There are plenty of 1 din android head units with motorised touch screens available, they start around £200.
Surely this only means they are compatible with android devices connected to them though? I have a pioneer single din head unit with fold out screen, and it only shows specific apps deisgned for their 'CarPlay' system......If i could find a way to run the AJP app through this screen i would be laughing...... If not, my cockpit is gonna end up looking like some crazy technohub.....

Some of them (not from mainstream manufacturers) are essentially an android computer rather than a stereo.thefrog said:

As long as it has PlayStore and a USB host enabled port it should work.
I believe some examples come with separate, pluggable, GPS and Bluetooth extras.
Having RS-AJP setup that way would be near perfect.
I could even add functionality to the app so it can run in the background all the time and perhaps even in split screen mode so that you could share the screen with other apps simultaneously (like a satnav)
I have a pretty clear calendar so will be spending as much time as I can on things like Bluetooth etc and I'll have a look at a few 1-Din hu's
