Connect neoVI FIRE to Google Android OS!
Lately there has been some press about how GM is working with Google and its Android operating system. We are happy to tell our customers they can start using Android soon. We have made it possible to connect your vehicle to your Android device using your neoVI FIRE.
Beginning last November, Intrepid has been working towards providing a connection to Android for display and control of vehicle data.
To make this happen we have developed two solutions that work together:
- First, we built a Bluetooth card that plugs into your neoVI FIRE. This Bluetooth card connects to the CoreMini scripting engine and provides data using the Text API. Basically, any application signals in your script can be displayed or entered from the device. This means you can receive and transmit messages via Bluetooth.
- On the Android side, we have created an application called Spy Mini. This application is a basic data viewer/controller for your messages and signals in a panel format. The panel can contain text displays, meters, plots, LEDs and buttons. The Spy Mini application is dual purpose because it also provides an Android OS Server that will provide vehicle data to applications you create using the Android SDK.

The best part about it is that the neoVI FIRE stand-alone scripting function still works when enabled with Bluetooth. This means your existing applications such as logging, simulation, CCP/XCP, diagnostics or ECU flashing all have the option of a rich GUI experience provided by Android.
