So, I was going to install a typical Silverleaf system, but I really wanted to NOT have so many cables to deal with and I wanted a bit more OS flexibility...like Android. I have quite a few extra Asus Tranformer TF700's to use and they work great.

I ordered a Bluefire from https://bluefire-llc.com/store/j1939j170...id-adapter (if you want APPLE OS compatible you will need -->https://bluefire-llc.com/store/500k-j1939j1708-ios-adapter

Then I had a special cable made up by http://obd2allinone.com/allinone.asp The owner is Ken Siebert and he was EXTREMELY helpful. The cable from goes from the 12-pin ALDL (Daewoo) style connector in our Newells (J1708) to a 9-pin Deutsch that would accept the BlueFire dongle.

The adapter cable was around 40.USD. That was all I needed. The Bluefire Dongle and the cable.

I setup the software and installed the dongle in my front console I removed the dash connector and reinstalled in UNDER the dash pad on the left side and ran the Bluefire dongle through a hold so it sticks out into my console interior. That wasy I can see the lights on it for diagnostics is something ever goes wrong.

Connected it to my Android laptop via bluetooth and Voila! Lots of information to play with at my fingertips. Worked flawlessly on the 2000+ mile trip from Albuquerque to New York.

I am working on custom Dash presentations now...it's very customizable, but worked right out of the box.

I will add some photos when I can
