OBDII adapters

[WinterSucks]

Gents, I came across something you will all enjoy. A Bluetooth OBDII adapter for cheap! And it works! Took two weeks to arrive. The first order I made with these guys took about 3 weeks.

Here it is:

They do have other adapters.

$7 bucks?
Might have to order one up! Thanks!
Does this work with a iPhone app or only android torque??

It works with Torque, have not tried any others. But it is a generic so it should work with other apps just fine.

Crazy. It's cheaper if you order through CN. I got 3 for under $20 shipped.

Thanks for the post and link!

Crazy...
Ordered one as well. Hope my car doesn't blow up.

Ordered one poor man's scanner also :-[. if it does work, its the buy of the month.
Thank you to the OP!
And I have to agree with your screen name. WinterSucks. We are getting hammered again with snow in southern central NJ. Skys are a real nice shade of gray. They say up to 10" of the white fluffy stuff. O Joy.

Ordered one as well. Hope it works with Harry's lap timer... if not, I'm sure I'll find a use for it.

Forgot to mention that mine came in last week...now to see if it actually works!

 

[F.D. Sako]

I kind of forgot about this... don't think I received mine yet!

I think mine took 4 weeks so you should see it soon.

Anyone tried it with Harry's lap timer yet?

Just tried it today, and it looks like it won't pair with an iPhone.

I'll try it on an Android phone this weekend. Pretty sure that won't be a problem.

Tried it with Harrys, and Android...and have to say VERY FRUSTRATING....was very unreliable, I finally ditched Harrys and just used Track Addict. I dont think its the adapter though, it seems more like the app to me. Anyone else have better luck??

 

[WinterSucks]

The pin for pairing to it is "0000" IIRC, in case anyone is having issues because of that.

I just got mine today and cannot get it to locate the Wi-Fi.

I've tried on the iPhone 6 with no luck and have even tried using the laptop with no luck either. Can anyone possibly help with this matter?

When I looked at the troubleshooting it states: "Check that the vehicle has power and a red light is illuminated on the ELM327; Be sure Bluetooth or WiFi is enabled on the receiving device (i.e.. laptop or smartphone)"

I've done this and the only thing I noticed is I could not see nor find any "red light" on the ELM327. Has anyone else seen this or not seen this?

Everything points towards a defective product.

Same Problem, at least with my iPhone I cannot detect a WiFi or Bluetooth signal with the unit plugged into the OBDII port. Kinda hard to move forward from there....
