works well on my volvo S40
the fact that I didn't like pyOBD is because it reads only a very few sensors and there are no graphs
Volvo are great cars, but they're known for tweaking and customizing everything... including OBDII codes. smart does that too, but still accepts most of the older commands as well. The down-side for me is that lots of the "warning" codes show up as errors in pyOBD, and have no description, since they're manufacturer custom. I have an excel sheet somewhere with those though, and will add them (& upload them?) onceI find that again. It's on one of those thumbdrives... in that box over there... I think.

I still have it on my Nokia 770 and I can make a video to show how it works and what sensors it reads and almost all work for my car.

pyOBD is what was adapted to the N900 in this case, (and more successfully than any previous BT OBD package). It is diagnostic-oriented, not dashboard/driving oriented & works well. If Carman had already been ported successfully to the N900, pyOBD would still be a great application because its objective is different.
Just to show that tastes can differ even as far as the packaging of a particular application, I think that Carman becomes less effective by its slant toward heavily stylized graphics - its information would be better conveyed with larger, simpler windowed digital readouts which would make not only for faster perception, but allow more outputs to be displayed simultaneously. At the size of the N900 screen, two pseudo-analog gauges eat up a lot of real estate costing reduced readability that could have been more effectively used with even four or six simplified digital readouts.
There is already a Carman thread, if you would like to attempt to resurrect interest in Carman. But pyOBD is dstinct & not inferior to Carman's objective - which is still unachieved on the N900, also.

I repeat more clearly. the oldest version of carman, yes it had graphics AND it could read hundreds of sensors in comparison to pyOBD which reads only a few of them.
What I am trying to do here is to help the author of pyOBD get some more information in order to improve pyOBD if he can look into the source code of the OLD carman.

Looking at source code of other Open (that version of Carman was open) is always good idea.
On the other hand, I don't quite believe those "100 sensors". It sounds just like different interpretations of same code.
Of course I may be wrong.

More details, please? Are the recognized codes obfuscated somehow?

It is not so easy looking at source code of other programs and i have only adapted pyOBD to work whit n900. Changing source code much more complex.

Of course I understand, and I'm not demanding anything. Yet, keep in mind, that I've meant only checking supported codes, not reverse-engineering Carman functions (i like pyOBD more).

Perhaps if you look at an older version of carman you might find lots of sensor readings in there.
it's the last one for OS 2006
