ELM 327 interface bluetooth module

ELM327 is obd2 bluetooth scanner which can work well with iPhone and Android by Wifi. ELM327 iPhone can read out the vehicle data including Engine RPM, Calculated Load Value,Coolant Temperature,Fuel System Status,Vehicle Speed,Short Term Fuel Trim and other information. What's more, it supports all OBD-II protocols.

I have a Bluetooth Elm327 on order. I'll be using it with my laptop. It comes with a free CD, which appears to be similar to your phone app. The advantage of the Elm327 is that it interfaces with Australian Fords prior to 2006. Most OBD2 readers don't do this because prior to 2006 Ford Australia fitted an OBD2 connector but it isn't wired in the standard way. It appears that the Elm327 is able to sense the pin reassignment and adjust for it. But also, I have found that there are many diagnostic programs available for the device that vary in price a lot. So it appears that the device is much more than a simple "reader" of code as long as you can connect it to a reasonable computing device. It also does "data logging", which means that you can monitor changes in your cars sensors ( such as fuel injector trim rates, oxygen sensor voltage output, mass airflow sensor etc ). This means that if you obtain a car manufacturers manual, you should be able to find the proper values of sensors etc. This means the device can be used for vehicle fault diagnosis. But, even more than that, the unit i've ordered is being supplied by a company that does performance alterations to car computers, so the Elm327 I've ordered comes with a trial version of "Palmer" software which appears able to reprogram some functions on the cars ECU. I have no idea whether the device can do all these things, but in theory any decent interface device should be able to communicate with any diagnostic software written for it. In my experience, the proper reading of a cars computer to find and fix faults is an art in itself, but at least with this device you have the paint brushes.. BY the way, I've found that because a cars' OBD2 is not used very frequently, when you plug in a diagnostic device, you should push the device in and out of the connector a few times to get a good hook up, since there is likely to be a little surface corrosion on the connector pins

I have a VXDAS Nexzscan in my vehicle: a 2007 Xterra.

I was driving one afternoon when the Check Engine Light came on. My scanner determined it was my gas cap. Not only was I able to diagnose, repair, dismiss the code, VXDAS Nexzscan offers a subscription for personal use.

It has features such as 40k DTC definition, retrieves generic, manufactures-specific and pending codes as well as vehicle information(VIN, CIN, CVN) .including the ABS/ Stabilitrak codes.and shows service intervals, what service is typically needed, average prices, and is able to find repair shops.

VXDAS Nexzscan can show some live data as well.

VXDAS Nexzscan cannot do a smog check nor show freezeframe data, but with my model year to fail a smog requires extreme wear in the exhaust or engine, which it has not come to.

I’d like to see a comparison of VXDAS Nexzscan and ELM327, along side dealer-level or shop diagnostic tools for fairness.

hi, im using windows 8.1 tablet. everytime i try to pair the elm327 it connects and disconnect immediately by itself.

[MrBurdUsername]

SAE J1850 is one of the 5 OBDII protocols. CAN-bus/ISO-15765 is one of those 5.

[darkmody]

Hello,
you should have showed or told how many times it took to pair it properly, becoz trying more than three times with a fail connection result means that the ELM is defected.

[nchauhan]

Hi Bhai, does the device and app read your BMW 320 oil pressure?

[mohammedzebber]

I want to buy the device. What do you advise me, is it good?

[rafavelazquez]

hi I have a question where did you get the app?

[ajaykrishna]

how can i connect this to linux terminal ?

[tuxnor]

Good review video..
.i have 4 different cheap elm327, 2 of them simular to your, all working, , but some of the cheap clones like the "HH obd advanced "don`t work well, , very slow and only on a few cars, dont support protocols listed for it, i tested on my 251hp 2.5T  v70 awd 2003 and on a 2002 E36 bmw the HH could not connect to ecu, , ...also on a German Nazi bmw you will need a lot of hardware tools and a deep pocket as well :) he he  :) i grew up in a volvo amazon, , so volvo it is for me :)

[ziaullahmughal]

You should share the way, when you solve the problem to get connected the device with mbile.
It also need to improve your fluency in english.
