Very Cool OBD app for Android

wheres one of these under $15 units?
the lowest buy it now I see is $25 (though thats still an attractive price)

I'm definitely going to have to buy that
can it data log or just display realtime?
using my xcal to data log is a bit annoying as I have to have a laptop with me

On eBay search for ' obd2 bluetooth ' or ' elm327 ' $14.49 buy it now
Mine is on the way. I know it will give you max numbers.

cool found it

I was using the search term ODBII bluetooth

reply to RX300

reply to RX300
SO tempting.

Just bought one. Can't wait to charge my friends $5 to tell them why their check engine light is on

I have had the elm327 interpreter chip connected to RS232 over USB version connector for something like 5 to 6 years, and never had a problem with it.

Elm makes great cheap chips for cheap.

Back in the day the elm 327 bluetooth version was like $200.
$15 is a great deal.

Ah man I just noticed the one I ordered is shipping out of Hong Kong

maybe I should have noticed and paid a little more

I noticed that too, when I saw all the $15 dollar ones. Even when I tick off North America, you see they are located in China.

are there other places to buy these than ebay? too lazy to google it

I'm sure if you look hard you'll find some on e-bay in the US

sure you can also get one not via e-bay but the cost'll a little more

»www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-ELM-327···1&sr=8-1

it looks like it might only be a bit more but I haven't dug in to see if the amazon one is in the US yet or not

it says fulfilled by amazon so it must ship from the us. unless amazon has some fulfillment centers in other countries that ship to the us and i just haven't encountered it before.

I know there are some on ebay that are made in the UK. Which some of the youtubers who use the App swear by.

reply to DarkLogix
That's the one I saw in a couple of tube post where the posters claimed was better, short of being hard wired.

reply to RX300
Yeah...it doesn't allow you to modify the ECU profiles...so you're just wasting time.

for me its going to be great
if I want to edit the ecu I'll just get my SCT-x3 out and change the tire size/diff gear/etc setting

but then this little thing should be handy for monitoring
now I wonder can it record data and e-mail it or save a text file?
that would up its value so I could datalog and send the data to the company that makes the tune that my car runs so I can get more out of it. (without having to have a laptop and everything in the car)

if I had that model sure

but I have this one
»www.sctflash.com/products.php?PID=1&VID=

and datalogging without a laptop has a limited amoung of data it can capture

then again I don't really want some big lcd cluttering up my car.

This was announced the day after I got the TSX
