iDiagnose® Smallest Super Mini ELM327 V1.5 Bluetooth OBD2 OBD-II CAN-BUS Auto Diagnostic Scanner Tool Wireless OBD2 Scan Tool CAR Code Reader - ANDROID Compatible

I like this Diagnostic tool. I use it with the Torque Pro App on my phone which was only five bucks. This tool does everything I want it to do and then some! I'm able to pull up live data, things such as trans temp, advance timing, mpg, catalytic converter temp, throttle position, ect... On top of that, it allows me to read and clear codes with no problem. This tool consistently works every time without any issues. I've tried it on a 2010 E-350, 2003 Explorer, 2007 Chrysler Sebring, and a 2008 Chevy Cobalt.This tool's a keeper!

This product has received mostly positive reviews, with a fair number of negative ones (about 20% at this time). It's hard to say whether this is a quality control issue but I'm adding my vote because the product performed well.It is not, I should say, entirely intuitive. Like most people, I have stayed away from the software. I'm not sure if the software really contains viruses (or whether it just generates false positives that are common in poorly coded software). What I do know is that I had no need to install software on my computer for a device I only wanted to run on my phone.The pairing is simple and just requires you to enter one of the normal predefined codes (1234 in my case, but 0000 is the other common one). Once you have paired the device, you do not connect to it in your bluetooth settings, unlike a phone or media device. You open the app you want to drive it with (like many others, I used Torque, which is available for free or in a $4.99 premium version), and then the app handles the rest.I managed to identify and clear an annoying CEL on my 2014 Subaru Outback, as well as to run the Torque diagnostics and gauge read outs. So, this product, for me, did what it said. It is a nice, compact design that is not obtrusive if you want to leave it plugged in (although this will result in a small drain on your battery).Overall, I recommend this product to anyone using a smartphone/tablet to pull car info or clear known and resolved CELs (if you don't know or haven't resolved the root of the CEL, you really shouldn't clear it out).

Worked for me out of the box, plugged in, paired to spare Android phone (using code 1234), and synced up with Torque app to view and clear check engine codes, etc. Also can use for real-time gauges, including coolant temp, throttle position, RPM, speed, MPG, etc. I was concerned that this might not work with Torque, but it seems great! Tried on about 5 different cars, 00 Honda, 01 BMW, 01 Saab, 97 Nissan.

I bought this to fit in my Veloster to take readings from the Torque app on my phone. It fit into the ODBII slot perfectly. Unfortunately, it's a little too big to keep the fuse cover closed. Most of them are and the ones that aren't that are reliable cost more. I'm okay with the fuse door off for daily driving.The Bluetooth connection to my phone was extremely simple. Turning on the car initiated the power to the iDiagnose. I scanned for bluetooth devices on my phone it showed up right away. While I didn't have the code documented anywhere, the default 1234 worked just fine. The Torque app immediately started receiving ECU data like air temp, coolant temp, intake compression, and more. I turned on the fast readings in the Torque app and had no problems getting readings.I took a few drives around town and monitored temps, compared speedomoeter readings to the actual speedometer and the GPS reading. AS expected, there was about a 3 mph difference which is common for this car. I was abole to monitor other reading changing as I drove the car and get information about the engine tested before.I never even tried to use the software that came on the unmarked mini CD. Others have said they received virus notifications upon inserting the CD. I have no need to use it so I won't even try it.I give this 5 starts because it hooked right up to my bluetooth without any problems. It worked straight out the of the package and does with it's supposed to do for an inexpensive price.

I have two vehicles with OBD II computers and I repair them myself when they need it and I'm able to.To that end, I bought two, low cost DROID 7" tablets. The Afunta Q88 tablet and the iDiagnose Device were easy to pair up and I never have a problem with connectivity. Buying the tablet (to "live" full time) in the car and the Adapter is a much better option at around $90 than buying an OBD II Reader which can only give and erase codes.I run TORQUE app on both devices/ there are other software packages that work with Windows (et.al.). While I'm not able to see as many real time readings as I hoped, that varies from car to car and my vehicles are older (1997/1998). I was particularly interested in the ATF temperature in my automatic transmission. That said, I'm sure that new cars probably do make that stat available.Between the $20 iDiagnose, a $60 Tablet and a $5 app I am able to replicated literally THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS worth of guages. Vacuum in/Hg, MPG, Fuel Remaining, Coolant Temp, Tach, Intake Temperature, Voltage, Timing Advance, Fuel Remaining, Distance Until Empty (approximate/calculated based on other stats and data entered by user), MAF, Trip Distance, Trip Speed (Average). I could do more but this is more than enough.Someone needs to wise up and design a universal, overhead console with a servo controlled door that will accomodate tablets :PSeems I'll have to build it myself...

I expected it to work when I bought it, and it does. I'm running it on our 2013 Ford Focus SE, using a Moto-X Smart Phone and Torque-Plus. If I had another car I'd buy one for it, too.I'm using this setup to provide a digital speedometer because I cannot see the analog speedo in the car with the seat position I prefer. And this works very well.It would be nice to know what the electrical load is when the car is parked, so I could have some idea whether there is any real risk of battery discharge over maybe a week or two.Given the location of the OBD2 port in the Focus it is easy to remove, but I would rather just leave it in.
