Hi, I’m building a dashboard for a rally car. I’m using Dashbox, which connects via Bluetooth to the Android device, but RealDash keeps loading and there’s no way to adjust the RPM input, for example. In the last screenshot, there should be text in the boxes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Does your Android device connect normally to any other Bluetooth device? Many of them don’t…

Yes, until now I was using an OBD2 adapter with Bluetooth connection on this device.  
I’ll try using Dashbox on another device

Hi everyone, I tried connecting Dashbox to a Prixtom Chinese Android tablet and it connected perfectly via Bluetooth, so I ruled out the possibility that the Dashbox’s Bluetooth was damaged. Then I tried configuring Bluetooth as you explained in this old forum thread and… it worked! The Chinese Android radio connected to Dashbox. The problem I’m encountering now is that Bluetooth doesn’t connect automatically after the power is cut off. On the Chinese Android tablet, it does connect automatically after turning it off and on, but the problem is that it doesn’t have an option to configure automatic app startup so that RealDash runs when the tablet is turned on. Each unit has its drawbacks, and my question now is: Which Android units are the best in terms of Bluetooth connection, automatic Bluetooth connection after turning it off and on, and automatic app startup configuration? Regards.

There are literally thousands of different types of devices around. We have yet to find the perfect one.
