However, they're rather expensive. Usually around $US70-80 secondhand on eBay US. I use ELM327 cables that I buy for $US7 on www.aliexpress.comAt that price, I keep one in each Falcon and use my MacBook Pro laptop with Parallels and Windows 7.

Yeah I got rooted, but I bought mine ages ago.Anyways, here is the linkhttps://www.scantool.net/obdlink-mx.htmljust incase you are wondering, this ODB adaptor turns off when the key is removed from the ignition.It prevents your battery from going flat.As far as I am aware, this adaptor is NOT compatible with IOS.I think you may have to go down the path that Phil did and get the $7 cable.

Can read like a couple hundred values from the car, and you can code custom ones in if you are on Android That's boost BTW, says vacuum because it was in vac at the time I took the screenshotIt can log as well so you can make pretty graphs etc. Edited 04/11/15 06:18 AM by -Stever- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
