        it can't fry your ECU. It sits on the CAN bus which is fully protected from over-voltages and short circuits.

  • MrGareth on 19/05/2014 - 13:29

    I've got one that looks exactly like the one in the pic, but I paid closer to $20 because I bought it locally :)

    The only bad thing about it is there's no power button, so it draws power all the time (in other words, I wouldn't recommend leaving it in your car 24/7, especially if you leave the car off for a week… or you'll probably end up with a flat battery).

    I use mine with the Torque app on Android. Works with my FG Mk2 G6 and my girlfriend's holden barina spark.

    From what I've been told if you have an iPhone you need the wifi version of this, not the bluetooth one.

    • Adz81 on 21/05/2014 - 17:08

      +1 to this, handy tool, but unplug it when you turn your car off (+1 for Torque as well).

  • dreamerman on 19/05/2014 - 13:37

    Bought this one from aliexpress. It did not last long enough for me to pair it with my android phablet. I tool it off the obd port and could smell fried components. Complained and got full refund. Bought another one (waiting on delivery) with on/off button. See how that goes.

    • homersyd on 19/05/2014 - 13:41

      so does that mean you would need to turn if off/on everytime you get out of/into the car???? Is there anything that would auto turn on/off?

  • Gaz1 on 19/05/2014 - 13:56
    +13

    Wow - it comes with a CD Drive!

  • RickOnOzBargain on 19/05/2014 - 13:56

    Had mine plugged in for months now. (No battery problems, as yet)
    I access it every now and then to turn off the "Engine Check Light"…
    And check that nothing else is wrong with the car.
    (Apart from something that is not worth fixing)

    • eddomak on 19/05/2014 - 14:41

      Hi, I would be a bit wary of leaving it plugged in all the time, not because of any battery drain, but it leaves your car a bit prone to hacking attempts via bluetooth, especially if a default bluetooth pairing code was used. I could be wrong on this, but I think it is actually possible to change car settings via the OBD port (as they do in some engine remap chips, or some fault code clearing software).

    A lot of the China sourced ones are knockoffs of ELM and not subject to the same rigorous quality control. I got stung when my purchase of one from eBay for a 2004 X-Trail turned out to be incompatible despite being on the list of compatible vehicles

    For the record the seller ceedlim wouldn't offer a new unit and got into feedback extortion territory when after 6 messages he offered a 30% refund only if I left positive feedback. Needless to say I didn't, and in reply to my feedback alleged I'd never got in contact.

    • kapone on 19/05/2014 - 14:26
      +2

      Same. Didn't buy from this seller, but did buy this exact unit for an X-Trail after it was listed as compatible, however support seems to be limited to engine error codes and that's it.

    • dustint on 19/05/2014 - 14:36

      why didn't you escalate it to a paypal claim, that's what I do with all those dodgy chinese sellers

      • timmypete on 20/05/2014 - 10:12

        Couldn't be bothered for how little I'd spent on it. I did report the feedback extortion to eBay and drop their name in the mud whenever appropriate.

  • zuccs on 19/05/2014 - 14:46

    Have this exact unit from eBay. Works great with Torque Pro app on Android. Just wouldn't leave it plugged in unless you're actually using it.

    any issue with bluetooth on this item to pair with iOS device (iPhone/iPad)?
    also what is the recommended iOS app(s) to use with this?

    • snuke on 19/05/2014 - 15:31
      +1

      iOS requires WiFi ELMs, except for Go Point's BT1 and Dash Boss will work via BT. In both cases they are far more expensive than these generic ELM WiFi modles you can get of ebay etc…
      Just search OBD in the app store to see what you can get. Plenty of free ones to try. Dash Command is very popular.

      • timhobart on 19/05/2014 - 15:35

        thanks heaps.

  • rifter on 19/05/2014 - 15:17

    Works very well with the smartphone app Torque and/or Torque Pro. Unfortunately not available from Amazon App Store so you will have to use your coins elsewhere.

    Has saved me more than once when Check Engine light came on and car stuck in limp mode.

  • battler on 19/05/2014 - 15:24

    needed one of these things last year, but opted for local due to time constraints
    grabbed one of these for $15 locally, next day shipping: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/390787993335
    also grapped torque app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torq…
    (note there is a feature limited free version also). Used on Sammy S3.
    Resolved engine management light issue - bought required part on Amazon for $170 when local auto mobs wanted $500 for part + fitting (which was about as simple as changing a spark plug).

    if delivery speed is not your issue, then this deal is a goer.

    • jlogic on 19/05/2014 - 23:11

      Geez what part is that? Makes me want to buy one just so I know what is wrong and that the mechanics can't pull a fast one over my eyes.

      I am sure if you point out what is wrong and then point out the price differential they would come to the party. Who says no to money hopefully not those guys.

      Knowledge is power when it comes to repairs I always found. If you know what you are talking about they can't just shaft you around.

      Edit: You get a vote for that comment and making me buy one of these.

    It's been a standard in all cards made in the US since 1999 but it wasn't law in Australia until 2006 so any card made before 2006 may not have it. That is to say, they may have the connector but the connector may not be activated.

      Diagnostic tool - sends OBDii data to a device over bluetooth, such as an Android phone, so that you can see the data in real time, or log it. Great for everyday tinkering and great for the common man to know what his car is saying (when it flashes error codes) before taking it to a mechanic and hearing their interpretation.

    For those with RACV it may be interesting to compare this to their new OBD device:

    http://www.racv.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/racv/internet/primary…

    It is $20 for those with Total Care Roadside assist. If you are on anything less it costs more and you could pay an annual fee, but the subscription is more for the app which syncs with the device and has traffic updates etc.

    Probably the most useful thing about the app is that it shows the fuel prices at all of the petrol stations within a 10 km radius of your location.
