Ipd Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thinking about ordering the ELM327 bluetooth OBDII scanner. It's compatible with my droid so and I've got a 96 ECU in my 94 850 so I'm OBDII compliant. Any users out there? Feedback on refresh rate and or trans codes? For $22 shipped I think I'll just simply but it, hard wire it and leave it connected... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCP Euro Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 This sounds very cool. If it works well for you Lucky, I will definitely have to get myself one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works great with my HTC Aria and my Archos5, both android devices. I run the Torque app for OBDII codes and sensor monitoring. Its bad ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Ipd Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 So I ordered this from an Ebay seller with good rep. Purchased March 2nd, finally showed up March 23rd. So.... way too long from Singapore (I've gotten international shipments before and typically should take no more than 7 days even with customs involved). Then the goofball sends me two units instead of the one I ordered and paid for...? I'll be testing this unit today and will have some feedback for you guys. Thus far pretty cool though, the app I downloaded for my Droid (Torque) is pretty full featured and works dang good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
