If you have a laptop with bluetooth built in you can test to see if it will work without buying the adaptor.

Send $01$A3$05$05$AE at 19200,8,n,1

This will make the RPM gauge say something

My laptop only has WIFI not bluetooth. Its too old but is still a good tuning laptop.

Have you tried it with the engine running yet?

Not yet, I am just putting the max232 and the bluetooth module in a little project box. I am going to use the LCD DB9 to supply VCC and Gnd for the max232 and bluetooth module and then other db9 to the serial cable.

You can get cheap laptop bluetooth USB dongles for a few pounds that would work to test it if you wanted

I have tested the latest version ( 10/24 ) with galaxy tab and htc desire hd and it seems very promising.
(We started to build an own app for displaying aim, but this official app makes no sense for further developing our own)
There is no issue page on wiki for it, but I have some hints:

I use the app with bt-rs232 adapter, and when adapter lost power, app not reconnect to it, just when I go to the menu and back.

Would be nice a method to change views without swice the touch screen, a minimal api which can switch with some command, or some aim channel hack (for example error code) when vems ecu send a switch command similar to lcd page switch

Anyway there is chance to vems send aim on the second serial port where gps connect? ( of course gps not usable in this situation because of baud rate mismatch)

Got it working this evening ;D

Upgraded my Vems to 1.1.95 from 1.1.74 at the same time.

Initally I got nothing, but when using the serial port on the PC with terminal VEMS was sending AIM data. 

When the USB serial was connected to the bluetooth module I could also communicate.

Then swapped the TX and RX cables to the MAX232 interface and it worked.  Not tried it with the engine running yet but the pedal seemed to track smoothly.

If you are looking for an android bluetooth serial terminal then the only one that I found to work was one called SENA Bterm - it works pretty well

Nice work, picked up a pair of BT/RS232 devices on ebay now to try it out myself.
Audi S2 engine code 3B on VEMS, FW 1.2.38

This is to add Bluetooth ability to your laptop.
