for Android Phones ONLY - Wireless Bluetooth Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner Car Code Reader and Scan Tool for All 1996 & Newer Vehicles ELM327 Compatible OBDII

This is the best auto accessory going for anyone with any kind of Bluetooth enabled android device and a vehicle made after 1996. Overall, for the price of a very basic scanner from AutoZone or the like you can purchase this and Torque, which gives you a much more functional diagnostic tool. This scanning tool alone will do nothing for you ... you MUST have a Bluetooth enabled ANDROID (Phone/Tablet) or WINDOZE (Laptop/Slate?) device and a decent software package (none of which is included here). I recommend, and prefer, ANDROID. Most of the bad reviews I have read center software not the device. I have paired my device with my laptop (Windows 7), 2 android tablets and cellular phone with no issues. I have profiles for multiple vehicles in Torque and DashCommand, also with no problems. I tossed the CD that came with this as soon as I opened the packaging... it only contains "evaluation" versions of windows based software, and I do not think that it is fair to judge the functionality of this unit based on third party software anyway. The Head unit in my Truck actually has support for DashCommand installed so it is convenient, but I prefer Torque. PRO: 1. Pairs with all of my Android (2.4, 3.0 and 4.1) devices (only 1 can be active at a time) 2. Nearly no lag when configured properly 3. No problems with any of my vehicles (Nissan, GMC, AUDI) I have heard of issues with Ford, but I believe it is a software issue, not an issue with this ELM327 device. 4. With the right software can clear codes which trip the Check Engine/Service Engine Soon (CEL/SES) lights. (Will save you about $100 if you have a dealer or auto shop do it for you). Some states will not "Safety Check" a vehicle with the CEL/SES lit even if it is a BS error from a loose gas cap. 5. Continuous, close enough to be real-time, engine data can be displayed on demand while driving. (Torque can math your fuel efficiency, HP, and torque output from the engine data) Just be aware that some of the data used in the equation will come from the accelerometer in your android device and should be viewed with at least some skepticism. CON: 1. A bit larger than it appears it the pictures, If you intend to drive with this connected take a look at where your OBD2 connection is under your dash and be aware that this thing is going to need about 4 inches of clearance. 2. WILL DRAW POWER from your battery even when the engine is off ... do not leave it plugged in 24/7. I do not believe THIS model has any power saving features, there are others that do ... but I know THIS ONE works with everything I own. Regarding diagnostic codes: The Torque application has a database of diagnostic codes and will generally tell you, in relatively plain language, what the code means. Many cheap ($50 or less) scanners do not do this, you are simply presented a code which you then have to look up yourself. WARNING: If you are going to use this to clear CEL/SES lights make sure you keep a record of the codes you clear, and when you clear them. Most software packages include a utility to log error codes and save them before you clear them ... USE IT. If a code returns shortly after it has been cleared (even if it is once a week) it is a legitimate problem that needs attention. Also, having backups of any codes you clear can assist a mechanic trouble shoot any problems. DANGER : If your check engine light is CONTINUOUSLY FLASHING you should shut the engine off SOMETHING BAD HAS HAPPENED, read, but DO NOT clear the codes. At this point you should have your vehicle towed to a repair shop. If you backed up the codes you will have your own record to balance what a repair shop is going to tell you the problem is.

Works awesomely. Gotta say I love it, it works as it should and far beyond what I ever thought. Of course part of that is the app you use to display info to you, if you use a crap app then you get crap results. I use the torque lite, still debating on goin to pro version lite does all I need but may go pro just to support it. After doing quite a bit of research on these adapters to be sure I got what I wanted since you cant trust so many of the reviews mostly due to peoples ignorance of the product and its functions, I was able to find a top 10 obd2 scanner list. The list had both the handheld ones and these adapters. I already have a hand held one and it works perfectly fine but the adapter type interested me and I'm glad for making the choice to try it out. So much of the info is far more understandable and useable with this adapter and the torque app. watching everything function in real time as well as thanks to torque being able to put all the info you want to see on the same page makes life so much easier, diagnosing issues becomes much more accurate and quicker when you see it all function. Instead of seeing the code and what may cause it then going through the causes to find the correct one to fix, your able to see it all on your phone or whatever you use and pinpoint the issue like which O2 sensor when you have multiple culprits or that it actually is the cat making the O2 look bad. I chose this adapter because on the top 10 list when looking only at the adapters on it this one is the 3rd best adapter first 2 being a little to expensive for me especially not being sure at the time that I would get what I want out of it and the fourth best one only works on American built cars, since I work on many vehicles that one wasn't an option. All other adapters (no more on top ten list) I found were insufficient in many ways, main way was not working on many vehicles and it didn't seem like the manufacturers knew which ones it might work on. One major thing you must understand is that this adapter tells you whatever your car tells it and not all vehicles are programmed to send the same info through to the obd2 and you can see this yourself by plugging it into different vehicles for example my '08 jeep liberty doesn't send mass air flow rate info to obd2 so on torque app it says no data, however on my friends '08 Pontiac grand prix that info is sent through obd2 and so it shows on the display. If info you want doesn't show don't blame the adapter because it tells you all it can which is whatever car tells it. Other thing is this adapter is receiving info from your vehicles, it is not making its own calculations and figuring things out then sending it to your phone, it receives info from the ecu then adapts to be able to send said info to your device to be read by the app you use. So for those of you saying it sends wrong/incorrect info think again, if it were sending bad info that means the ecu has bad info which in turn means somethings wrong with your vehicle or its ecu. The app you use had a lot to do with the info you see because it is what allows you to see the info, so if the app doesn't support a display of whatever info you should be seeing than don't blame the adapter its still doing its job but the app you chose isn't. This is and obd2 device its not the same as one of those larger scan tools that look like a tablet kinda, those larger scan tools do different functions like opening and closing the abs system when you bleed brakes, obd2 deals with smog type things the larger scan tool deals with a whole other array of stuff. So things like oil pressure, which I seen someone whining about in a review here and on the torque app reviews, I have never seen or heard of obd2 readings that show oil pressure as far as I know it doesn't so complaining that this adapter or that the app doesn't show that info is ridiculous. If I'm wrong about that or anything else let me know but only if you know for a fact, cause I have no problem with being corrected, everyday is an opportunity waiting to learn something, yet ignorance doesn't help with advancement. Unless it has to do with grammar and punctuation, I've always hated them. Hope this has been useful to those still on the fence about this item, it is very useful specially if you know how to make use of the info it provides.

I do quite a bit of work on my Jeep and wanted to pick up a OBDII reader to aid with diagnostics of any issues I would run in to. I settled on this one as it was highly rated and appeared to be the best bang for the buck. I made sure that it worked with both my vehicles as well as Torque on my phone and then it sat and sat. I did use it briefly when I first got it to play around with MPG and other readings but it has mostly just sat in my Jeep. Low and behold though I had to drive 8 hours down to Georgia and about 2 hours into my trip I see the engine light pop on and my thermostat shot up to 260+. I pull over on the side of the road to see radiator fluid all over the side of the Jeep. This happened at least one more time before I started to drive 55mph and monitor with this OBDII scanner. I watched my temp gauge like a hawk in Torque and made sure to take it easy the rest of the trip. Turns out it was most likely a bad radiator cap not keeping pressure in the system. I also was able to see that cylinder 3 is likely suffering from heat soak when I'm doing highway mileage and speeds. While it was not crucial to getting where I needed to go it did give me an ease of mind and made me feel better about the rest of the drive down there. I was also able to diagnose a problem that I would probably have been unaware of and will now be able to fix. I am giving it only 4 stars as it is pretty big and clunky. It also is in an always on state in the Jeep with no option to turn it off if I want to leave it plugged in. Other than those two minor issues which is probably on par with many of the other readers out there I have had absolutely no problems with this device and it has worked as expected every single time. The pairing with my phone was extremely easy and it is very very simple to use.

The application to work on this is sooo stupid and does not clear your issue

Perfect for cars, bikes and trucks - saved immediately with clearing codes.
