Smartphone mount options

[Joesmoe]

I can see using Tune ECU that way. It has a real time display -- reminds me a little of the fancy timing lights one could use when I was a teenager working for $5/day in an independent Mercedes shop, and other selectable readings.

I wouldn't want to be in rush hour traffic doing this though.

Any of the BlueTooth adapters listed on the TuneECU site will work -- they're diminutive and powered by the OBD II port, and easily sit under the left cover (see other threads about securing the covers). I bought -- as reported elsewhere -- one of the BT adapters and it worked fine, but the TuneECU map edit functions were grayed out, and go back to the site and see where Alain had "hidden" a caveat that "Yes, TuneECU works with these adapters but you can't reprogram the ECU with them". Grrrrrr

This OBDII bluetooth stuff is new since I have visited.
I see tis likely the LX version, but I do not see a specific reference to the Rocket.
Could you perhaps help me with a link to the correct one?

Are we looking at the same site ?

TuneECU_Android

In that long page, roughly in the middle, there is a list of bikes on which the Android version of TuneECU works.

About a third of the way down that list is the Rocket III, with a red asterisk -- I totally missed the first time around.

Yes, I went with the LX BT adapter, only because of the ones on the list, that one was the least expensive -- around $50 on Amazon.

When I was all ready to load @HansO 's tune and it wouldn't work, I was about to send Alain a nasty email, when I looked again at the site, and saw the red asterisk notation at the bottom of that list: "* With Bluetooth connection, reading and reprogramming map functions are not available."

Yup you gotta use the cable to push a tune.

Well I saw this:
"Triumph Rocket III (all model years) |via cable & Bluetooth* June 2015"
and this:
"* With Bluetooth connection, reading and reprogramming map functions are not available."

Neither say ANYTHING about which OBDII bluetooth to use.
Will this work?
or this?
or this from a Street Triple Tune ECU video?

 

[Joesmoe]

They might -- caveat emptor. Alain says on his site that his list is NOT exhaustive.

If you were to buy all those -- cheap at twice the price -- and test them for us, there you could let Alain know to update his page, and the rest of us would benefit.

The older guys here would probably hate me but yeah I have 3 mounts on the front of my bike. One on the left handlebar for a 5" Garmin GPS, one in the middle for a 5.5" Android GPS/Speedometer readout and on the right handlebar I have my Iphone 4S setup for music and communications. Most people comment that my bike has more gadgets then their car. I'm a nerdy techy guy so this all comes natural. Using my SENA bluetooth headset I can press the phone button and have SIRI do things for me that I can't do with my hands like make calls, add events to my calendars, set reminders ETC.. its really great.

1oldbull, I have this unit:
I apears to be the one at the top of your list.
I have an older model (same company) that works great with both Tune ECU and the Torque app. (Although, as stated, you cannot up/download tunes with Bluetooth). No reason to believe that this newer unit won't work just as well.
Let me know if you have any other ???
