I've seen some threads and pics of people running a ODBII Bluetooth tool for their cell phone. For those of you who use one, what does it keep track of on the display? And which ones do you recommend?
I have a 2000 Sport and a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (Android) phone.
Thanks.
It has a HUD setting that will reflect the device (phone or tablet) image up on to the windscreen
It also has what's called "Track Recorder", it uses your phone/tablet like a dash-cam with the gauges, maps and info you select superimposed on the video.
You can look at other sellers and find ones that are Prime, but this one is free shipping anyway, maintains the connection well and the refresh rates are fast.
I just got my elm 327 scanner off amazon and downloaded the Dash Command app on my ipad. Works great but I have not had a chance to really dive into it yet. It's going to be interesting with dual OBDII ports. One for the jeep and one for the Chevy 5.3l swap in it.
I'm interested in these as well. My buddy just bought one from our Matco guy at work. Hasn't used it yet. Sure would be a great tool if it works as well as advertised. I'd love it for side work too.
To me, and I may be over thinking this a little, but it seems like the ""ONLY THING THAT WORKS ! !"", would work on more than just one platform, but like I said, I could be wrong.
Well they do have over 4600 reviews. I just wanted something a little more middle of the road. $8 seems too cheap for an ODB scanner and $100 is too much. I just want something that will be more detailed and provide more information than my instrument cluster.
The info it will show depends 100% on what the ECM and BCM are designed to show, the tourqe program has a list of sensors and highlights the ones that are being shown by the computer in the vehicle, the OBD II domgle is the least of the equation.
