Well, I've just spent my first weekend with my new Discovery (my first) and am overjoyed to find that it behaves perfectly - for now :) and has not left a mass of fluids on my drive.
Now, one thing that took me by surprise was that I tried to use the Android app Torque Pro it connected to the bluetooth OBD dongle correctly but came up with the 'Cannot speak to ECU' error. There is power coming from the ODB socet and the power lights on the dongle work fine.

Prevoius reading led me to belive that the Disco 2 was fully OBDII compliant so I was a bit struck as to why I was receiving this error.
My plan was (is) to use a Tesco Hudl tablet as the in car sat-nav, music player and trip computer via OBD.
I have also seen the other trip computers on offer such as Scan Guage and Ultra Guage which Disco 2 users seem to be using without issue and may be on the cards if I can't get Torque to work.
So, what is the problem I may have getting an OBDII adaptor to talk to the Disco correctly?
Any help greatly appreciated :)

The disco2 is NOT ODBII compliant, that's why.

There has been quite a bit written on the forum about this very subject very recently.
 
Our 1998 V8 D2 does talk to external ELM327 readers, but will only give real-time info and some codes and code clearing facilities.

Useful, but a Hawkeye or nanocom is really the tool to get hold of.

Note that the software is a ripped-off copy of the Scan Tools own, so don't ask them for any help with it ;)

Hmm. Can't see the images.
Thanks for the help so far everyone.
 
I know it's OBD, and you know it's OBD, but that might have confused the OP.
ODB is database related, unless it's 0dB in which case it's related to the logrithmic measurement of levels of noise or electrickery.

You're right, I do work with databases (amongst other things). Bit of a Freudian slip there I think :)
Time for some editing!
