Garmin ecoRoute HD Demo Video

In depth demonstration video for Garmins new ecoRoute HD module. This module gives you diagnostic data about your car, in real time, through your Nuvi GPS.

Did you use the Garmin ecoRoute HD or the KNAEC100? I'm wondering if the Garmin ecoRoute HD works too since it's only $100 at walmart, instead of $150.

I assume you can't use handsfree calling while the ecoRoutr is connected on the bluetooth??
Only 1 bluetooth on the Garmin at a time ??

I have a 95 camaro. well, if your familiar, it is OBD 1.5 it has an OBD II plug with an OBD I computer. to plug diognostics computer in it, you need the K9 adapter card. is there such an adapter for this device?

Why won't the ecoRoute HD cable pair with my Garmin 3597. Thanks

Hey, great video one question though. I just ordered this unit. But as the old adage states hindsight is 20/20. I have the K40 Calibre Bluetooth 360 radar system built into my car. I was wondering if you know if this might interfere with the EcoRoute HD. Bluetooth phones and other Bluetooth devices I have paired to my Nüvi don't interfere, so I hope this doesn't. Thanks for your advice, mate.

@littletoy01
It should work with all cars that have the OBD II socket (usually post 1996 vehicles).
There's a short compatibility list available from Garmin's website here:

Nice review. Which model nuvi are you paring the ecoRoute HD with in your video? I am using a 1390t and my gauges do not update several times per second. Instead, I see maybe 2 updates per second.

Unfortunately it won't work with the Garmin nuvi 1450T, as ecoroute HD communicates via Bluetooth, and this model nuvi doesn't support bluetooth.

I have the new 3597 and it wont hook up to eco route, can you help me.

[snubblaren]

What kind of car did you plug in the ecorute hd to?

[littletoy]

@woodgrain816
We used the Garmin ecoRoute HD

[royabbott]

Hi, is it only compatible with a Garmin Nuvi or can you connect a laptop with Bluetooth to it?
Cheers

[danielmcdaniels]

Where or what store can i find something like that at?

[loud]

it will work with most smart phones if you download the garmin mechanic app for free

[Mantis]

Still have this cable? I need one 9-7-19

[linuxtechguy]

It looks like a cool addon...not sure if its worth $100 usd though

So this is the real John Appleseed that Steve Jobs always calls!
