PRO version shows same sensors as demo version. First choose your car model in Connection - "Choose profile" then look for 12V battery sensors in "All parameters". But generally 12V battery health condition is not easy to check with ELM327, it will not tell when to replace 12V battery.

Still displays engine rpm, coolant temp, and speed. But MPG, fuel consumption related data, and most other sensor data is only displayed for 3-4 seconds at a time before the 5 second lockout.

I have an Autel MS309, Foxtell NT301 scanners and what I believe is a ELM327 Bluetooth adapter. Nothing works.

This is not my app, I just use it a lot. Try the free version, full version is free for a short time, and it includes unique Japanese standards: Nissan Consult II 2001-2008, Consult II ABS, etc. So it should work with Primera P12.

Hi, Well I purchased the Pro version and and although it connected to my so called Autel ELM 327 (the screen showed it to be ELM 327) it still wouldn't connect to the ECU.

I checked on the Car Scan site and see there is a couple of adapters mentioned there so unless you have one that you could recommend I'll send a message to the developer and check if the mid priced one will connect with Consult.
