I posted this as an additional reply in another thread, & got didly-squat for relipies ... so figured I would just start a topic ...



Are there different "ELM 327"s for different vehicle manufacturers?

I am most interested in a Bluetooth unit that I can use with my phone, or with an adaptor on my laptop, etc., but can I purchase somethign like this >>> eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices <<< & utilize it not only on my 'Carlo, but my Pop's Buick Century? My Mom's Eclipse? Friend's BMW?

 

i'm pretty interested in this too. But as far as i know its like an OBDII scanner, should work in any car with an OBDII port. What app were you gonna get for you phone? I had a topic for car apps somewhere, thats probably the one you posted in

 

that is the bluetooth obdII I have. it will work on anything with that port. I use Torque also.

 

and you didn't chime in, in the smart phone apps topic How is it, what all will it display on your car, tell us

 

I use it mostly for clearing codes, trans temp, intake temp, coolant temp, volts, and 0-60 . There is a huge list of things it will monitor probably over 100. some can be a little tricky to get working but once you get it working it always works really good. I had trouble with the trans temp for awhile.

 

here is the display i use the most

 

Like i said in the other topic, i think i'll get it in the near future. I'm interested in my coolant temps, see if i have a busted thermostat or not. Have you tried the HP/Torque features? and thanks for postin zach

 

i cant get the HP function to work right. last i tried i was getting 125 hp i see they did at WHP as a function in the last update. I might have to try to get it working right next time i have it out

 

125hp? geez you lost alot of power

 

to do the hp/torque you have to put your car manually into 2nd or 3rd (I forget which one) so the car doesn't shift. maybe that's your problem?
