danbart Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Any Garmin ecoRoute™ HD users out there? Looks like a pretty cool gizmo and the price has dropped to a reasonable level ($70 on Amazon). [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-ecoRoute-Vehicle-Diagnostics-Communicator/dp/B00313JWSO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1292563665&sr=8-1]Amazon.com: Garmin ecoRoute HD Vehicle Diagnostics Communicator: Automotive[/ame] It's basically an OBD II reader that send info to your Garmin 1xxx GPS via Blue Tooth.

RabidWombat Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I've tried one on my car and it was a little flaky. I've got a Nuvi 1390. The main thing I noticed was that it seemed a little laggy, only updated every 2-3 seconds, with bigger gaps sometimes. That said, it many respects its completely awesome. It has a full OBD-II code reader, so at $70 its less than most readers. On the LGT it will show boost pressure, but the lag makes it not so useful. If you've got a compatible GPS, its way less costly than an accessport or dashhawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidWombat Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ok, I just got an EcoRoute HD for Christmas. The new software seems to have resolved most of the issues. It updates at 2-3 times/second, so its reasonably fast. You can get access to the following gauges: Engine Load, Manifold Pressure, Battery Voltage, Intake Air Temp, Mass Air Flow, Coolant Temp, Timing Advance, RPM, Speed, Throttle Position It seems to work pretty well. It can pull codes if you get a CEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp928 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I got an ecoroute to go with my 1490t in march 11. On the second one now, and it still keeps losing connection, gauges drop to zero, or it doesnt connect on startup. Attempts to get a software update for it give "Access denied" on the web updater, and support do not respond to calls for help...... jp 08 gtb 6mt wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siim Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I think your problems are purely navi device related. I have Ecoroute HD with 3970 and it works flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, if you turn the car off but want to keep listening to the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2fst4uo Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 For anyone out there not wanting the GPS unit as well, they make an android app that connects to the reader and [from what I can tell] shows the exact same information on the screen.
