Hey Guys,

any iPhone users on here using an OBDII bluetooth scanner in conduction with dash command???


if so, what OBDII reader are you using, I keep finding that the ones I go to buy all say, Android... and that you need to jail brake iPhone to get it to work...

Thanks

 

Bluetooth is for Android, or for jailbroken iPhones

Wifi is for Dashcommand and iPhone. Get the ELM 327. It works perfectly.

 

^^^ditto

iPhones need a wifi scanner

Android needs Bluetooth scanners.

Why apple has to make things difficult, I'll never know


Now check reviews on modules, I can say the cheap ELM327 clones work for light duty, just clearing codes, or to see if you like an app. If you want to get serious, you'll need better quality one because the clones can start throwing errors after a short time. That's been my issue using Torque Pro, and forums are full if the same problems with the clone adapters.

 

fyi.. i used a jailbroken iphone to do the bluetooth OBD.. it's a headache..

just buy a wifi scanner.. it's only like $20.. same price as bluetooth

 

Hello, I have an app called engine link which I bought the full version from the app market for $5 and it uses a wifi OBDII. I paid about $25 for my scanner online from sears. Once I got it, I installed it into the OBDII port on my car, turned on the engine link app and it seemed to work fine. Give it a try. Brooks out...and no my iPhone hasn't broken out of jail...lol.

 

"Okay Dad, Easy there"

Engine link, dash command all do the same thing. If you NEED quality buy something nice, if you need the BEST you should be using a computer and not a wifi module for data-logging.

 

I really just want to check and clear codes. I'm not at the skill level to understand data logging, I can bolt things on but I can't tune lol

When you guys say wifi, does it mean I have to be at my home on a wifi network? Or if I'm at my work and I go to leave and get a code, can I check it there???

 

the wifi OBDII scanner will become your "router." you will be able to check it anywhere.

or get something like this:

it's a stand alone unit and it'll save you the headache from connection to phone/tablet.. only thing is that it can read/clear codes, but can't monitor stats.

 

I have the ELM 327 mini, but Torque Lite does not work on my '07 G35 Coupe. I'm using an Android based Galaxy S5.

Is the G35 only supported by the Torque PRO version? I don't want to waste $5 on the app if it doesn't work.

 

I have the torque pro and it works beautifully on my 05 coupe. It shows everything in real time and I can erase c.e.l.s

 

My issue seems to be Bluetooth is not pairing. When I enter the code "1234" it shows as paired, but not "connected" (like all my other devices do when connected). I tried with an S3 and also a Tablet... same thing.

I might try some older Bluetooth devices, but ideally I wish this worked with my S5

 

Try 0000 as your code

 

I did, didn't work 😥

 

Try deleting other devices that you have paired already. Their maybe a limit to how many devices you can have paired to your phone or device.

 

My buddy tried his ELM327 on my car today and no luck either. His phone (also Samsung) had the Torque Pro version too. Odd because it works on both his Genesis and 350z!

So if it's not my phone or my ELM 327 unit, why won't this work on my G35 but it does on others?
