1. Download buster lite and flashed it to the SD card with Etcher. 2. Installed the SD card in my PI, connected my PI to monitor, keyboard and ehternet. 3. Powered it up. Does some reboots the first time. 4. Logged in. 5. typed the wget link in the command window. 6. runs a process and everything looks to be good. I am left with the command input. No info about bootmod3 or anything what so ever. I will take a picture later and show you. I have traveled on a business trip and wont be back for 2 weeks. Currently I am wondering about using my microsoft surface go instead for flashing and logging. Just need a ethernet adapter and a nice mount. I will certainly not be buying the wifi agent from PTF for 400USD + taxes.(guessing its just a overpriced raspberry) Just wanted to try my raspberry pi 3 b+ since I had one. |

There’s nothing about BM3 that will be displayed on the screen as the agent runs in the background. You can check the status of the agent by typing “tail -f bm3_cron.log” without the quotes in the command line after the pi boots. This will be a live feed so you should see it change as the agent starts and attempts to detect a vehicle. It will take up to 3 minutes for the agent to start. To quit press ctrl + c.

Thanks, I will try to do that. Nice to know I can test that the wifi agent connects to my phone without being connected to the car. So it takes 3 minutes before the wifi agent in the raspberry connects to my phone? Cant say i have waited that long. |

Other than that everything worked great! Pretty sweet for a working bootmod3 wifi agent for <$50. I also don't have the ability on my mobile plan to create a hotspot on my phone, so I got a micro usb router to create the bootmod3 network. It doesn't have internet access, but has worked great for logging and viewing the dashboard. Haven't tried flashing already downloaded tunes, but I don't think that would work. |

As far as flashing goes, you should be able to flash a tune if it's downloaded to your raspberry pi. However, in order to do that, you'd need to have your car connected to your pi and have internet access to download the tune. Then you can flash offline. |

Good to know as far as flashing goes, I'll make sure to download the needed tunes if I go ethenol and need to flash at the pump. Thanks for making this thread btw, I ran into issues/(it just not working) before and was able to figure things out via the info you provided. Last edited by amburt05; 09-21-2019 at 12:39 PM.. |

Hi there. Thanks for the awesome work getting this working. I was wondering if you could help me out. So I've installed the script on a RPi3 B+. Looked like everything installed okay and the unit reboot itself. However the obd agent is not detecting. I've set my ssid and pass to "boodmod3". I tried to type the script "tail -r bm3_cron.log" but I'm getting "Error: unable to access jarfile agentrunner.jar". I'm kind of a beginner when it comes to this computer programming stuff.
Thanks in advance. |

Also the Gen 1 PI doesn’t have a wireless NiC in it? You’d have to install one to get the any wifi service. Last edited by GreenF30N26; 11-13-2019 at 12:39 PM.. |

Did you do the steps exactly as outlined in this post? If you followed the normal method of loading BM3 agent software the 3B+ model doesn’t work. Try again from the start of this thread and it should work on your model.
