Title: Substitute for Silverleaf
Post by: Karl Welhart on September 15, 2014, 10:11:29 PM

I just received a device (beta testing) that will display on any Android phone (iPhone app available soon) most all of the information you can display on the Silverleaf.  This device plugs in to the diagnostic plug (9 pin, 6 pin adapter is coming soon) and communicates to your phone via Bluetooth.

The application can be download now under "BlueFire for Trucks".  You can load the app and see for yourself all the information that can be displayed and tracked on your phone.  The app is free and the adapter lists for $295.00.  The final adapter will be on sale starting around October 1.

Their website is www.bluefire-llc.com for more information.  There are other applications that can read and display in other formats similar to the OBDLink application I use with my cars.

Keep us posted!  That looks useful, especially when I leave the Alladin TV in the rear view mode.

I am getting a lot of interest for this adapter and application.  Will have, by the end of today, pricing for group purchase of 10 units. If anyone is interested, please send me a PM.

Additionally, I am asking for the current app to be modified to display information like a dashboard w/up to six functions at one time on your phone screen.  It can be customized to whatever function you want to display in either analog or digital mode.  Fault codes, trip information and other information will be the same as the current application.

More to come...

Thanks for all the interest.  I will keep everyone informed on the group purchase.  As of this writing, still no confirmed pricing.  Hopefully today sometime.  The adapter will be available on Amazon on October 1, with a Amazon Prime discount.

Stan,

No, this device and application have nothing to do with Silverleaf.  Please understand, if you have the new Silverleaf display it does have an interface for the Sealevel system for monitoring your tank levels.  The BlueFire adapter and app will not read out Sealevel information.  Sorry if that was not clear from the beginning.
