WOW I wish my problems were as simple as a loose gas cap.I use bluetooth elm327 scanner $25 off ebay and it connects to my Android through a program called "torque" or through PC with the disc that comes with the scanner. Cant find anything programs to connect to my new Iphone though.Cheers, John.

Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 14y 5m 6d Gender: Male Posted 29/09/12 12:25 AM Share Posted 29/09/12 12:25 AM I'm keen to know too, I don't think you could beat the direct connection for speed but I'd rather not cable so either Bluetooth or wifi, surely the bandwidth would be enough anyway but I guess it also depends on the obd2 tools ability to run the Bluetooth or wifi and feed the data. I like the idea with wifi maybe allowing multiple devices, but its poo you lose Internet when on the wifi, and Bluetooth uses a lot less battery than wifi so I might go the wifi. But as for what's good and what's not I don't know... I'd also like it to not look poo sticking out of the obd2 port.
