OBDII adapters

[SBY LS330]

Here is a two-year-old forum posting from the author of RaceChrono -- which is the track app I use on my Galaxy S5 -- regarding different OBD-II readers. Based on the findings, I purchased the "China Blue"... which has worked flawlessly.

There is a "China White" and a larger "China Black", but nothing that matches the OP's OBD-II reader.....

Based on a related post at RaceChrono, I also purchased the external Dual XGPS 160 GPS receiver.... which also has worked flawlessly.

It seems like only iPhone users are having issues. At least the few here. I would definitely go through the reviews on the site and see if anyone there had issues and resolved them. Otherwise I would contact banggood for a return. I only have Androids.

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.

Did you get a chance to try it with the Android??

Failed. :-[ Only got an app loaded. It's on the to do list before BMO-West meets at Laguna Seca.

I was able to get it paired to my Surface Pro 3 via Bluetooth, even thought the instructions seem to suggest a WiFi connection. When I tried to load the included software, however, I got a trojan horse warning from my virus software! At the moment I'm looking to download something safer from the Surface store and try to work with that.

iPhone still sees no signal at all coming from the dongle.

You should not need anything from the included CD. Mine came in split in half so I just tossed it.

Harry's just posted a large update. One item is improved Bluetooth connectivity.

Could possibly help with iPhone connection
