-====== OOBDAndroid Manual ======
-Attention: OOBDAndroid is still in Beta state and not indented for normal users - this version and this documentation is only for geeks :-)
-{{:doc:android-ss.jpg?150|}}
-===== Are you a geek? =====
-If you understand the installation instructions below, then you are.. if not, just wait for the final version ;-)
-===== Installation: =====
-  - Unpack the {{:doc:oobdandroid_beta.zip|zip archive}} into the root folder of your android SD-Card.
-  - In the new created OOBD directory you'll find the file "buscom.props". In there set the BTDevice to the MAC Adress of your OOBD dongle in the same syntax as shown ("AA:BB:CC..."). Make sure that you use a editor which is able to handle UTF8 unix files correctly
-  - make sure that you've paired your mobile with the OOBD dongle, so that it is a known device
-  - make sure Bluetooth is switched as active when starting OOBD-Android
-  - In the OOBD folder you'll find the OOBDAndroid...apk file. Install this on your mobile
-  - copy your personal scripts (*.lbc) also in the OOBD folder
-If you now start the OOBD App, it should automatically connect to the given Bluetooth device.
-===== Mainscreen =====
