OBDII OBD2 V1.5 Bluetooth Auto Diagnostic Interface Scanner (ELM327) $12 + Free Shipping

0.1

can u reset the check engine light on this? or find the reason for engine light? autozone wasn't helpful at all....

With an Android phone/tablet and the Torque Lite or Torque Pro app, yes.

i guess the real " LoL" is to the people that bought this so called deal, its a phony, after doing some research there is no GENUINE v1.5, that's why the reviews are so mix with DOA and ones that don't work right. the real ones like the BAFX are the 1.4 or 1.4b. got this info straight from the makers of the Chipset. http://www.elmelectronics.com/obdic.html

No iPhone?

I Just got done comparing / shopping for one of these, looking at a lot of different versions based off the ELM 327 chip. Some thoughts based off my research:

The blue / orange ones (Like in this deal) work, but it sounds like there's quality control issues with this version and a seemingly high DOA rate. Even when they work, many are slow, work intermittently and are difficult to connect.

If you want to use one of the "generic" adapters with iOS, you'll need to have your device jailbroken and get the roqyBT4 and roqyOBD packages from cydia. after that you can use most of the standard OBD2 apps in the app store

here's the model I ultimately went with, based off reviews and price / performance: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...UTF8&psc=1
It's worked for me right away after some setup and changing a few settings in dashcommand. It's fast and reliable enough to use all the features including gas mileage monitoring, performance (HP / torque) estimators, diagnostic codes etc. Definitely worth the extra $13 IMO.

I'm not an Apple guy, so things may have changed, but what I remember from other research last year;

It has to be Jailbroken
It has to run some other app to get the adapter to even connect to the phone
The app that is capable of running it was $50

[edit] Some quick research;

Dash Command [apple.com] was the app I was thinking of. Still $50. There may be other apps available for iOS, I'm not sure, I only happened across that one since they have an Android version too (which sucks, IMO). Torque is not available for iOS in any way. I have a die hard apple buddy that bought a Galaxy 7" tablet just for Torque and GPS usage. Apparently Apple doesn't have anything that will compete.

You need a few apps from here [roqy-bluetooth.net], roqyBT and roqyOBD

Phone still needs to be jailbroken.

I thought iphone needs the Wifi version of these. What setting you have to change to make dashcommand worked with Bluetooth ELM327?

It's really up to the manufacture to name it whatever they want, with whatever version they want. It's done for marketing anyhow. The imports want the sales by having the "latest" version even though there is no difference. They could be saying that it's version 1.5 of their device, not necessarily v1.5 of the chipset.

We know the one linked isn't a phony / fake, it's been around for quite some time. We also know that whatever factory they're coming out of in China has terrible QC. Some work, some don't, which is why I recommended buying from Newegg or Amazon since they have an easy exchange policy.

the v1.5 is a fake aka CLONE ...the original ELM327 only goes to v1.4b .. u can find more info here about the fake clones

and a whole discussion on the 1.5 being fake clones

I have one of the "ELM 1.5a" and it functions just as it should. However, it is hit or miss as I have seen bad feedback and DOA units reported several places.

Again, the manufacture of the device that uses ELM's chipset can call it whatever they want. They ARE NOT saying that it's a v1.5 chipset. The manufacture of the device (not ELM) can call it v76.29 if they wanted to. It doesn't matter.

And a whole discussion? You mean all 13 posts of that? All 13 posts that never once said "I have a 1.5, it doesn't work". Instead it's "Don't buy the 1.5" or "I heard the 1.5 doesn't work", no real proof. In fact;



So again, yes, we know the 1.5 blue and orange version either works or it doesn't. As the quote above me said, it's hit or miss. If it works, great, if it doesn't, send it back for an exchange. Which, for the third time now, is why I said to buy it from a reputable dealer like Newegg or Amazon and not DinoDeals or whatever that joint that was talked about above was.

I swear to god SD'ers simply don't read. Or, they do, but don't comprehend.
