Starion86ESI Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Won't work with Iphone. You need the Wifi reader for the iphone. Apple has "allowed bluetooth devices" and chinese items and such like that don't get the OK so they wont work but a wifi one should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malykaii Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I sell them on my tool route. Best code reader option for the money. For 15 $ does what a 100 $ scanner does. You can use it with iphones... you just need to hack it. But in the time you do that you may as well stand on the corner and do construction for the day and use the money for a real scanner.

boostd92 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have the BT1 code reader app for my iPhone and the matching bluetooth OBD2 device. It sucks. Very spotty, hard to get the last car you read's data out of it and read the new car, etc etc. I never use it. I have a mini Matco corded one that is way more reliable.

jszucs Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Nope. Anything common odb2 I use a real reader for.... and everything else I need Hex and CAN support for which this does not even come close to doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
button Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I use a Chinese obd2 bluetooth reader. It does its job well. I use the torque app on my HTC One and the girlfriends HTC Sensation.I also use a Chinese ELM 327 rs232 scanner. It does its job well also.

JohnnyWadd Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Its pretty cool to have if you are just out hanging with people and someone has a CEL you can pop out the connector and get codes on your phone. Good use of these huge processor phones we have. The apps will get better too. Most stuff i would use a snap solus pro for i can do on the app. Well i can't do outputs and operate like an air idle controller . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I might look at this over a p3cars gage which is ~ $400 and just plugs into your odb2 port to show you anything the ECU has access to. IE boost, oil pres, temp, trans temp, egt, ect Edited January 14, 2014 by jszucs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE boost, oil pres, temp, trans temp, egt, ect Well I have used the graphing to watch o2 sensors on a 2006 outback so yes on that. Realtime yes. No sure about data log. Check out some of the review and youtube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averse Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Does it give more info than dropping by a parts store like Autozone and having them read it for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
