Trinity connected while driving?

If the Trinity is going to be connected while driving make sure you install a right angle OBDII to make it safer. check out these photos and you will see what I mean.

Yeah, we've been testing with some right angle stuff...problem is, not every car has the OBDII port where yours is....so some will need 90Â° rights and some 90Â° lefts.....hmmmm.....

My connection is actually a male/female OBDII extension which can be purchased as a 90 degree left or a 90 degree right. You could include the extension cable or make "L" and "R" part of the Trinity part number. Unfortunately the problem you will have is customers that don't know what they need.

or you could do what bully dog did with their PMT. They have an OBDII plug with mini-usb ports on the side of the plug. Then have a mini-usb cable connect the OBDII plug to the mini-usb port on the trinity for the readings...

Or just take it one step further and go OBDII to USB wireless and have a wireless connection to the Trinity box.

How about using Bluetooth....

That's a good idea too. I think you wouldn't want to use it to flash your car's PCM though. That would have to be a hard-wired deal only. I think it would be too risky to go wireless. You might brick your car. For monitoring though no problem.
