Basically with this setup you can control anything that you can cause to happen on the bus. It has a snoop function that allows you see what happens when you push a button or choose a function like the mpg reset etc. Then you enter those sequences into a button in the android program I wrote which acts like a macro basically sending the sequence out when you choose it in the program.

So you can control your a/c functions, reset stuff that the mid normally is needed for etc. At least it SHOULD be able to. I cant see any reason why it wouldn't work since I do the same thing in my e46 with it and its just bus traffic.

Time will tell.
Crowz, You have my full dedicated interest in this, I am aware that Android have a universal listener that looks for function signal and then you can assign response to that. I.E press a button, it finds the button on Android then you can set it a simple command - 'Turn light off' - 'Reset to 0', etc...

If you can get this to work with the OBC just like the MID functions with the dash, I will be purchasing a Android ICE asap.

Of course any info on how to do it is very much appreciated.
