OBD2 devices compatible with EcoRoute

Hi Guys

I've just bought myself a Garmin 1410 which has eco route HD option installed. Now, Garmin's Bluetooth add on which plugs into the OBD2 port is about £70 so was wondering if its possible to use any bluetooth enabled OBD2 reader which can be picked up on eBAY for about £15.

Any pointers would be great

The generic OBD-II readers won't work with the Garmin nav unit, you need to use the Garmin EcoHD accessory - Mike

Hi
Thanks for the reply, can i ask if this has been proven or is there a technical issue which doesnt allow generic obd2 readers to work with the garmin?

Well I have a couple of different Bluetooth OBD-II readers (Obd-Key and Blue Driver which only works with an iPhone app) in addition to the Garmin accessory and the Garmin can only see the Garmin EcoHD Unit - Mike
