Autolinkr Paired to Hondata/Flashpro (confirmed)

[Dvs1270]

This is just preliminary, and if you have both devices please help me out.
I picked up an Autolinkr Pro to watch stuff omw home from work (not everyday or drive). Setup was fairly easy & I was able to get several apps downloaded & running.

The Hondata was an available app, downlaoded, displays, but I won't have mine (to actually cast/test to the app) until next month when the tour comes my way.

Since the Autolinkr uses my mobile data to broadcast to the car, it may or may not let the BT functions work while connected.
The Hondata app is doing a BT search for a Hondata device.

I tried my Autel dongle, but it is locked to the scantool.
The Autolinkr is almost like an incomplete phone, for my android phone it is not reading the apps on my phone but it is making me install apps from the playstore using my Google account as the login (like a new phone). So far only Waze will not work with the Autolinkr.

I bought it to cast Hondata &the video capability is just a plus.

I dunno what the words you’re saying mean but am interested. Looks dope

Follow-up: DE5 "S-Log" via Hondata & Autolinkr (got it working).
Watch the YouTube videos below first for information & installation instructions of the Autolinkr,




then watch my video below for connection instructions. I can also verify, the mobile Hotspot is not necessarily for Hondata metrics transmission.

I didn't use this specific tool (this looks much nicer), but I was able to pull obd2 via BT(one of the faster obdlink units), use android auto, and use an app to display some readings.

As long as the BT/Wi-Fi device connected to the android auto interface can intelligently handle multiple BT connections, it works fairly well. The issue I had with it was the polling rate on obd2 is LOW when you consider multiple PIDs, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and multiple levels of processing and rendering along the way. Best I was able to do was roughly 0.5-2hz, which for a gauge style display was useless (really needs to be closer to 10-20ms for things like boost, fuel, iat, afr, etc).

Granted, I'm also Cobb tuned and the wired in Cobb unit gives the data clearly, quickly, records min and max, and because it's wired in there's no fussing with BT/Wi-Fi when getting in and out of the car (track use for me - the car already takes forever to disable traction control and parking sensors each time). I'm really curious to see how the hondata will poll in your setup and how close to reality the gauges will be!

Have you tried a standard obdlink interface with it yet?

I see no reason to. I did try to pull from my Autel but no success. Just gauging input to eyeball the data is true to inputs. I.e. it is as fast as data receipt within the Hondata phone app. I cannot use both the Autolinkr & phone app or I'd try. This is good eyecandy, can't really watch it if I'm really driving.

I also discovered yesterday that the Autolinkr to Flashpro connection is good without wifi, just BT. That mean only one "wireless" data stream. The Autolinkr is wired. My phone is not a part of the equation (originally I thought the wireless data for my phone had to be active).

For me the benefit was that my camera is mounted behind me (to see my inputs and the course) so having it on the display is ideal to review later. I really wanted to get throttle position, boost, steering angle, brake position, iat up there. The Honda canbus is NOT making it easy for me to get this data into a nearly real-time feed.

Does hondata give you any of those PIDs? I know they exist, but I'm having a very hard time pulling many of them consistently/reliably.

Thanks! That's very helpful.

That's what I've been able to find as well. Sadly no brake position or steering position, which are two of the most important things for post track review... Or oil temp, but we won't go there today

I'm excited to see how real time yours is! Good way to see would be if you can get throttle position up and check the response when you rev it.

I am still perplexed why this isn’t standard on the FL5, at the very least. I’m hoping there might be some HRC offering so I don’t have to hack up an oil pan. I wonder what the FL5/DE5 race cars use for oil temp measurements…

They probably do it from a sandwich plate adapter if I had to guess. That's what I'll look to do, or inline. I need to make some time for an oil cooler add, but I just don't like the plumbing of any of the existing setups so I'll go my own way.

But yeah, I'm also just perplexed at the things that were skipped... I'm mad because it drives so well, but such small things make a difference.

I'd like oil temp without going through the weeds to get it. Seems like the ecu should be monitoring it with forced induction.

I believe there's just not an oil temp sensor. It doesn't exist from what I've seen, but I would LOVE to be proven wrong on this...

Not sure if true but I read the European type r actually gets a temp sensor for the oil. Maybe we can enable that somehow
