OBD1 port, Blend Micro

I bought a blend micro to learn about arduino and BLE. I am a complete newbie in this field. This is what I want to make happen, I want to install my Blend Micro inside my performance car in order to read my cars computer on a program (TunerPro) on my windows 8.1 tablet... Now the cars computer has a Tx/Rx (2wires connected to my OBD port),now what im currently doing is having those 2 wires connected to tablet like this (www.dsmtuners.com/.../)

I want to eliminate wires for a cleaner look and thought this would be the way, but im starting to doubt myself haha. If anyone could help much appreciated.

I just need to repeat what the car is saying to the computer..

We have a UART over BLE example for arduino here: github.com/.../ble_uart_project_template

However, I believe the problem is Windows 8.1. I don't think there are any software you can use for this custom Nordic UART service. If you are interested in some programming, you can start with the hart rate example for the Windows BLE API, code.msdn.microsoft.com/.../Bluetooth-Generic-5a99ef95, and port the code to run the UART service.

If you have access to an Android or iOS phone, we have UART apps available here: www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRFready-Demo-APPS

If you use Android or iOS, I think you should be able to get you project up and running without too much trouble.
