[stingray91]

Cbe to wayanad, via mudhumalai
Total 400kms
20% plains and remains hills
did not drive with economy in mind
Wagon R returned 17.8 kmpl tank full to empty.
roads were super and adventures too
seen many wild animals like
Elephant, wild cow, wild yak, many different birds, different type monkey, trained elephant's,(kumki), wild cat, even wild hen (was really big and aggressive) .
Many more.


should I post thread here or in travelogues? ?

DID A SMALL DIY FROM SCRATCH.
dome led conversion!
using leds from home led bulbs.
I took four led patches because all are parallels connected in fours so you need to research for configuration of yours.
Took four patches by cutting them.
Then placed in a cardboard and stick with double side tape and wiring made parallels
And checked.
Finally close it with plain paper for dispersion.
Make sure the doom is removed properly.
also the polarity. I removed old bulb and took wires from socket. The positive will be the center pin where you removed the power connector. Negative will be either side, one for door and another switch.
You remove the doom with flat screwdriver by pushing clips inside and pull the assembly out. As shown in picture.

Hi guys lastly connected obd2 adapter and used torque pro app and eco shifter
both are awesome
in eco shifer you need to give the speed at 1000 or 2000 rpm in each gear so it calculates the gear ratio automatically.
In my testing
1st @1k rpm : 3kmph
2 "" 7kmph
3 ""14kmph
4 "" 20kmph
5 '' 25kmph


Also I attach some snapshot if torque pro

How much did you pay for the one you have? Is it bluetooth type or cabled type?

Yea bro....
As till you have battery in mobile ... :p
Many softwares are there . For full version PM me.
As obd Port is always turned on. Obd hardware will be working even when car is locked.
so remove it when you get out means at nights when car stands till morning .. else like shopping and other times can be left as it is.
If you have pioneer HU with app radio you can send these data to HU from phone.
Will be cool

Hi Stingray91,

Loved your review and especially the various mods that you gave shown as DIY. I was not looked for mods to be done but after looking into your thread, I see a lot of areas where I can try out my hand Prakritij.

I am looking to buy OBDII bluetooth device for my Wagon R 2013 model. However I have not been able to confirm as on date whether it's compatible or not. After reading that yours is compatible, believe mine should be compatible as well. Can you please confirm.

BTW I landed on your thread being referenced by
