iNdT is at it again and this time releases Carman - an On Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) analyzer application for the Maemo platform. Carman lets you monitor and detect problems on your automobile by accessing the data stored on your car’s on-board computer, the same data that service technicians use. If you have an OBD-II compliant automobile (most cars after 1996 are), you can use a Scan Tool device (about $116+) and connect Carman to it via USB (ElmScan 5) or wirelessly via Bluetooth (using a Firefly or Elm 327).

You need Python 2.5 for Maemo to run Carman and a Nokia 770 (with 16MB of free virtual memory), or a Nokia N800. More information as well as the application download link can be found at the Carman garage.

More cool screenshots after the jump.

Thanks Marcelo!
