Car Computer.... in short carputer... Part 2, OBD Test

Decided to continue with the carputer testing. Bought an OBD2 reader unit from ebay, ELM327 with USB interface. Installed a copy of Centrafuse Auto to my Lenovo S10-3T to simulate the carputer as my 2DIN touch interface has not arrived...

The OBD2 reads all kinds of data from the RONDO's OBD2 port located just below the steering wheel. It will also read out error/malfunction codes if there is something wrong with the engine. I believe it is a nice piece of device to have....

Below is the video of how it works.
