Tutorial - OBD2 Bluetooth adapter, reset car errors on your smartphone
Today we will do something different - we will use an OBD2 adapter to connect with your Android phone to the car's on-board computer. Using an application like Torque, we can read the operating parameters of the machine and in addition we can detect and reset the errors.
OBD2 (On-Board Diagnostics) is an interface (standard) present on most machines, which can connect a diagnostic device. Service sites have special equipment that can read data from the onboard computer, which are very expensive but are more accurate and more complex. Fortunately, with advances in technology, sophisticated equipment from service can be emulated using an adapter, which acts as a virtual cable, and a smartphone that is between us is strong enough to do almost anything.

Hi as if you read my thoughts just 3 days ago I got an OBD2 adapter :), good tutorial
Hello, I adaptoru of 2 years and stay in the closet, as did yours is Cristi and do not go on a golf 4 2000 gasoline. I understood that only works on cars after 2001 gas station, what do you think I'm wrong or I do not know to connect?
If you plug OBD2 the car should go. Should light an LED on the adapter even when it's plugged in OBD2.
Maybe you made changes to the wiring, or is there a blown fuse, if not go.
Do not forget to start the engine.
good you solved the problem? I 4 from 1998 golf and I do not go elm327, we had a cheaper model to 38 lei and one in a million and cv, but I went later sold :( I want to know if you solved that I would take any one I really want
I Dacia, you Renault interface ELM can not read errors stored in calculatoatele car, ECU, and UCH, etc, have errors backwater are readable only with dedicated interface for Renault, and can do more, but must to know what it is about and a lot of money.
The interface is a gadget, toy, you use for reading temp, speed and that's a dusty sit somewhere in the glove compartment.

Hello. I got an adapter for some time and I used Torque to I scan my errors, but I sought some applications that tells me something consumption, and more, and I found the app CarPros (free) but I got to I make him read my OBD. You know what solutions? CarPros your usage?
I got one and I would say that shows some parameters wrong and I refer to the tension on alternator.Si I was convinced only after we measured correctly with a voltmeter alternator load corect.Si another thing, if you miss this toy diagnostic port of the car hallelujah car battery, pores to throw it.
For Renault megane I use the android program "OHno! For Renault" the only one that worked for me, read the errors and delete them (check injection) for those who know the problem. With the right program these devices do their job and the money :)) (I got $ 3.5 from ebay)
