Cheers, just bought one the fella in the shop said it wont read all perameters on one app so he uses three different apps for full info.

[@xdagasx4153]

Hi,is any chance you can drop all three diferent app names for full info? thank you

Waiting for this reply…??!!!

[@gee3883]

@@Mr.CuriousGuy Sorry fellas didn't see your messages. Since buying itI haven't been back to the shop where I bought it, as soon as I do i'll update you. I just used it with the "car data" app but be warned it I couldn't get it to connect or work on my iphone, it refused to connect after pissing around for hours. As soon as I used an android tablet it connected.

Question, my ELM327 arrived in ADHOC mode (stupid) for 6 years i would use it searching non stop for an STN or Infrastructre mode or Version of the product, one day i decided to see if port 80 is open , it was (HTTP GUI), i switched it to Station mode, i entered SSD, Encryption (WPA2PSK CCMP) and the key ( even kept a screen shot) the ELM327 connects a few seconds to the AP and disconnects. I made sure the AP is set to the same Encryption type, and key... I even set a static/Fixed in the ELM327 .. Any tips? The unit is close to AP, tried many APs, legacy, wrt54g, dd-wrt. different channels. no go .

Can I change VCDS parameters with this, if I use something like the full version of OBDeleven?

[@essamkhatri3978]

It shows in my phone OBD II but cannot pair. I don't know what's the issue. A help would be appreciated. Thank you

[@edwinvelasco.7353]

Try unplugging and plugging the obd2 port, if not try to connect through Bluetooth

[@edwinvelasco.7353]

Most apps usually connect to the obd automatically

[@Not_Sure_]

Is it able to identify the so called "permanent codes" ?

[@edwinvelasco.7353]

It’s able to identify all codes, but can only clear pending or codes that aren’t major

[@julissamencias1268]

Thank you!

[@umarshahbazahmadumarshahba3612]

[@SilentHeartx]

Does this tool measure the temperature of transmission???

[@MH-oh4pm]

It passes all info your pcm/car computer knows to the serial command. Its basicaly just an rs232 serial port. It measures nothing. It passes through.

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

[@robbienathan8615]

Can this connect to SRS system to clear warning on dash?

[@edwinvelasco.7353]

Yes if the code isn’t permanent and persistent, like if the car knows the code is correct then it will stay on and not clear until fixed, but if it’s something minor you can usually clear it in the app, depends tho because some apps charge to clear codes
