    Greetings,
    We recently went open-source with libvoyager, an Android library that lets developers quickly write OBD/CAN applications without writing the low level communications code.

    I'm looking to beef up the Prius support in the app. I see that there is lots of interest and support for connecting to the CAN network in Priuses so I'm hoping to meet a few others in the forum here that might be interested.

    Google "github gtosoft" and check out gtosoft dot com (projects page) to see more.

    Sounds good, will look at it. Do you have a recommendation for BT OBD2 dongles?

    I do all my testing on a OBDLink w/ Bluetooth from scantool dot net. As a backup I also have a bunch of DealExtreme (the little blue one) adapters. They are pretty easy to modify so I use them to test new designs and such.

    Both support OBD and CAN monitoring quite well.

    Interested in testing you apps. I just purchased an ebay OBD II/CAN Bluetooth adapter (ELM 327 1.4 I think) I will be trying Rev and Dash Command in the meantime.
