BlueLink Bridge
BlueLink Bridge takes a paired Bluetooth OBD2 dongle and serves it as a Wi-Fi ELM327 on your network, so apps like Torque, Car Scanner and OBD Fusion can connect to it from any phone, tablet or laptop.
The story
- Problem
- Most OBD2 dongles only speak Bluetooth, but plenty of diagnostic apps and devices (another phone, a tablet, a laptop) expect a Wi-Fi ELM327. Some dongles, like the XTOOL GWBT, aren't even ELM327 at all.
- Solution
- The app bridges the phone's paired Bluetooth dongle to a TCP server on port 35000 that looks like a normal Wi-Fi ELM327. It can share through a local-only hotspot, over the Wi-Fi you're joined to, or in loopback for apps on the same phone, with a confirmation when you expose the port to a shared network.
- Result
- v0.2 is a working build with hotspot, LAN and loopback sharing, generic ELM327 pass-through and an XTOOL GWBT emulated mode. First launch is a plain how-to-connect guide.
Features
- Pick a paired Bluetooth dongle from your phone's list
- Generic ELM327 pass-through or XTOOL GWBT emulated ELM327
- Share over a local-only hotspot, your current Wi-Fi, or loopback
- Foreground service with a Stop action, status card and activity log
