Re: OBD2 Scanner

[FW]

Thanks Peter,

I’ll get one of those ELM327 from the AUS supplier and give it a try.
I’ll let you know if there are any problems.

Cheers
Walter

Re: OBD2 Scanner

[Peter Crisp]

HI Walter, apologies to others this is a bit off course of a mac topic but for 
Walter’s request please see below.

I have successfully set up the ELM327 and using the iPhone 8 took these images 
(at the Google Drive link here). So this one works fine with a Wifi connection. 
Note the app I used “car scanner” is one of a number that works for ELM327 
units. Establish a Wifi connection to the unit and then follow your nose. Note 
the free instance I have I can only select 2 engine parameters to log. Probably 
enough given your earlier emails.

Let me know if any issues with accessing this. I am happy to go off-line and 
help you with this Walter. It is my hobby so if you want help just ask.

Regards


Pete

Re: OBD2 Scanner

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Walter, see the phrase in bold below for an ELM327 suitable for iPhone - 
there are many but note one of them uses WiFI for connectivity, the other 
(little blue one) uses Bluetooth for connectivity. Do a search on eBay using 
that phrase making sure you include iPhone in the search.

My son has a Hyundai and I will give it a shot this afternoon to see how it 
goes with my iPhone and let you know. 

Ebay search with this phrase: ELM327 OBDII OBD2 WiFi Car Engine Diagnostic Code 
Reader Scan iPhone Android IOS

Re: OBD2 Scanner

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Walter, yes I have used many of them previously. I currently have 3 
Volkswagens and they work well, but you must choose carefully for your car. For 
VW’s, I use the “OBDeleven” (Google it) device paired with iPhone or iPad. The 
OBDeleven OBD2 scanner is designed specifically for all VAG cars (Volkswagen 
Automotive Group - VW, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Seat branded cars all 
work with this one). I also have some cheap eBay generic (<$20) which will work 
on just about anything with an OBD port I believe. 

What car do you have?

They are useful to track live data - I watch exhaust gas temperatures while 
towing my caravan but ALL engine parameters can be tracked live. 

Regards

Pete.
