Has anyone heard of bluefire bluetooth data transmitters
i just ordered one and a adapter for 9 pin to 6 pin (my engine is 6 pin)
It hooks to your diagnostic port and send data via bluetooth to tablet or computer. I should get it friday and then ill have a report on it

I know 2 people that have used 1 they complain the signal is weak at over 20 ft and they are always resetting .1 went back to using a SliverLeaf the other destroyed his with 24 volts that the only 2 I saw
I've just purchased one for our 102DL3. I've not yet hooked it up, but I'll update here when I've tried it out. Our bus talks J1708.

interesting. that shouldnt be a problem for me because my diagnostic port is at the front.

Every port on the country coach is at the rear in 1 place with the filters in 1 compartment if it works for you good since they cost less than 1/2 of the SliverLeaf ,my Country Coach came with the total coach system I like it a lot it monitors every thing even the generator and tanks no telling what that thing cost and I dread the day it quits lol

for somereason i was having a hard time finding anything digital... then i stumbled across these bluefire guys. It seems that silver leaf it a bit out dated? I was on the search for a while and couldnt find anything. Of course i may have been looking in the wrong places

I don't about the other systems Martin sells but my HMS 365 is all digital in color with graphics like his glass dash I know he stopped making 1 model because the quality of the screen he was buying from another source
I've owned 3 Silverleafs, each for a different coach and swear by them and the company. Two VMS440's and one VMSPC. Martin stopped making the 440's because their screen vender was not up to his quality is what he told me but occasionally they sell a refurb unit.

Very interesting. The blue fire is supposed to hook to iPad or android tablet so hoping to incorporate a iPad into the dash for a seem less look. (No dash right now, have been looking for something digital to incorporate)
Also not sure why I never found the silver leaf website before, I searched your models and it came right up :-\
Didn't Wayne Schell install the Glass Dash in his Eagle ? he was going too 10 years ago

His project thread on the eagles forum shows a bunch of silverleaf modules, and a screen among other things. I have not seen his dash area. Maybe he will post? ::)
Yes I have a glass dash from silver leaf in our 15. It monitors everything that DDEC sees also monitors my fuel tanks ( main and generator) and monitors the ABS. It also has some houses monitors such as black gray and water tanks and control of the lighting in the coach. It does way more than I am capable of using.We are on the road in SW Utah enjoying all the beauty but are in the fishing bus and can't post a picture.

Keep us posted when you figure it out lol everyday I find something else even the floor heat and AquaHot,I like the way it tells you how many gals of fuel you need on a fill up no more guessing
So know that I have some experience with the BlueFire, I can tell about it. At first it was a little confusing to set up, the app can be a little clicky clackey. How ever once I got it all set properly, it seems to work quite nicely. However. The signal will only go 10-15 feet max. So this will not work if your diagnostic port is in the back.
Here is a screenshot of my phone, cruising around 70 mph. Engine still needs programmed on rear end gearing obviously. I have yet to figure out if the BlueFire can do that
Very nice display.
What options are out there for sensors and sensor placement. It would be really nice just to know what is going on with the tranny and other systems.
Windtrader, this is reading off the ddec diagnostic port. So you can customize digital dash to read anything the ddec can see. I don't know how it would work without a electronic engine. Being that it's reading a data link. That said, you should check out their website. Google search "BlueFire for Motorhomes" and that would bring up their website.
Here all 2 screenshots of all the data I can see off my engine.
