I personally prefer the one with the cable, but the bluetooth also works, and can also be used with android ? true some times can? happen that you log off but if the elm ? of good quality, this rarely happens.

I use the bluetooth with Android and the program Torque, ke allows you to see the classical error codes and reset the counters without the encumbrance of the laptop, whereas if I bought on ebay I have to say that it works well :)

but you can only do engine diagnosis, or for example, on *********** you can also do body computer abs airbag etc..?

can't do all the things that he does that with the wire, x with regard to the ***********, in the fiat group behaves as a diagnosis professional,whether it is with the wire that bluetooth only in a few cases you need to use adapters to communicate with all the ecus.

I do not recommend that bt does not sell because often loses the signal.

so the rumors that I had heard were sensible, thanks msport for the board ;)

The problem of signal loss in the bluethoo connectors ? mainly due to the resistance of the end of the line.

There are also other components that cause this interface based on the failure model. There are different models.

I have several, all bluethoo, I have them designed to be used with different software for different cars ... and I are going pretty well.

I cel I have from about a year, took on the bay for a 20/25 euro (I don't remember well) and I use it with torque on android.. I have to? noticed that on many machines is giving me strange errors, or, despite the fact that there were no errors, he tells me that there are. For example, on a 156 jtd with sensor went (the car wouldn't start), despite you connected, did not give me any error.. then with the scanner br&b my friend I read the error of the sensor..
What I also noticed ? that works especially with the jap machines..

the question that has sold. I also bought different code ? 6789. I also had problems connecting to a Android mobile phone .. according to programs. For example, a couple goes well, and the same phone with me dashCommander connection problems. I have not solved yet and I have not started to solve the problem, why? ? it's essential for me.

Sorry for the error, if not ? a problem after I presented, I would like to repeat my question:
Hi,
I have purchased several Elm 327 bluetooth from ebay, usually when I connect the tool to the car and I try to connect to it with bluetooth and it asks for the pincode of confirmation of the bluetooth and usually ? the default 1234 or 0000, then start the Torque app and I use it,
but some of these that I have arrived and are without the PINCODE in fact, when I try to connect with the pc bluetooth connects without asking me the pincode of confirmation, but when I try to connect from my android smartphone, but also from your tablet or other android smartphone to pair the bluetooth, it asks me the pin code!
well here comes the problem, of course, this tool being free of pincode I don't know what to put,
I tried 1234, 0000, 9999, 1111, 2345, 3456, 4567, 5678, 6789, 7890, 2222... etc... even a 5-digit... basically I tried all the combinations of 4 or 5 digits,
therefore I wanted to ask you, c'? a way to pair a bluetooth device with android obviating the pincode since? this tool will ? no?
ask me necessarily this code that does not exist for the pair,
how can I do?
I have already? contacted the seller, and he tells me that probably this series does not have a pin code!! now for? I don't know how to pair it to a bluetooth device android

giarras
04-03-2013, 23:00
maybe depends on the application that uses android,but the code is usually x to pair it ? 1234.

cristian83ta
05-03-2013, 00:28
From Android usually use torque, but also other apps ? that not even the app since? the problem is presented first, the cio? when I select the device from the obd bluetooth search, it asks me to enter the Pin and any Pin plug in gives me the Message correct Pin, I have tried all the combinations listed in my previous post including 1234, 6789, 0000 etc.. does Anyone know if c'? a way to bypass the Pin request? Or if there are other Pins?

giarras
05-03-2013, 08:35
look I've just tried it with my I do not ask for any pass and connects well..

cristian83ta
05-03-2013, 08:44
likely that you had already? paired the bluetooth, and you have tested from android? or pc, why? pc to me is not asking for the pin the problem comes from android

hello I the first elm 327 I took it with a usb cable,and it worked fine, then to use torque on the cell, I sold the usb and I got the blt wireless, use it equally on the pc, and then with all of the programs through recognition blt inside of the pc, and then assigning com ports normally in 3 days that I used it no problem, in the box and the usb port was 1.5 v, this wireless v. 1.4, if I have problems or else you held? updated.

also I have the elm327 bluetooth and the pin to me ? 1234
I tried to make it work with torque on android smartphones in all the sauces, and I can tell you you will be rich, some of the refresh of the data of the sensors are not precisely accurate (pressures and times acceleration)
for the rest I can tell you that to be rich, or at least I was doing great until prp yesterday, why? started not to give signs of life, is not seen by anyone smartphone (I tried also with friends) while powering up the classic red led when connected to the OBD, that can? be according to you??
however I no if I remember correctly, I paid about 15 euros

Sorry guys but if you leave always be inserted this device Elm327 bluetooth in the car something happens?
I would like to avoid to disassemble and reassemble the cover under the steering wheel, and every so often give a controllatina with Torque.
The one that I have chosen ? the mini has yet to happen to me.
Hello and to the next one!

I use the bt, and on a hundred times that I have used has never lost the connection, only a couple of times not ? failed to connect to the boot, then ? one thing irrelevant, and I think that also depends on the quality? of the same, for the rest is everything like the one to the cable.

But is it okay if I leave it always on or can you? cause some trouble to the ecu?

I left it plugged in for 3 months and using just the car ? downloaded the battery

If the car you use every day at least for mezzo'now I think that there are problems, but if you use it sporadically, you should remove it...for me ? a hassle to always remove the slide, but are forced to do so as I use the car 2-3 days out of 7 and I would not like to experience inconveniences with the battery.
However, the ecu does not happen anything if you leave it always plugged in, the problem, precisely ? the battery...

if you want to leave it always plugged in and you are afraid that you discharge the battery for the short use of the medium, you can make a switch to the positive of the tool.

I had thought of this
you have the schema to find the pin to the positive terminal of the obd?

if we are talking about FIAT group say that ? virtually the equal of a DIAGNOSIS official

If anyone has had the same problems sportknight, I recommend to use the version Vgate Bluetooth.
With EDF, it all works.

From some months I took the version bluetoot and works well under win with Android. ? stable and fast connection and diagnosis as much as a cable interface.

Hello

I have both versions of both USB and Bluetooth and with the second I can not reset the service. For pure curiosity?, not c'? a few modifications to make to the traditional one to make it work as the Vgate?

I too have the same problem and I can't reset the service, I can only see the abs-ecu and engine control unit

guys, you need the adapter to make some of the bridges on the pin exchange, pin....you can check on the website of the FES... (what now ? multiecuscan)

Hello, at the edge of the chipset c'? a different version in addition to an architecture slightly different (I have both open), however given the prices I have bought both the diagnosis bluetooth:
- traditional => why? is exceptional with torque android
- Vgate => for the service and compatibility? general with FES

The adapters are not needed for the reset service and, in general, for connecting to the ECU!.. need to connect on some car models with control devices (abs, steering, brakes, etc...), but for this there is a list of well-detailed.

personal example:
grande punto 1.3 mjet
Service Interval Reset |INFO|ADJ| ELM C19OBDKey C19 A3
so you need the adapter 3...
perhaps you mean that, in general, to clear the errors, the engine does not need adapters...but also them it is necessary to check the list of vehicles

To access the different mode? I took a cable KKL that I modified with a multi microswith following suggestions found on the net...
If you wish, I can retrieve the information, but I think that is best? quick and easy google a bit.

Then with a single switch you can "simulate" the different adapters?

exact. And' pi? simple to do than to say. A contact, properly swichato on different pin allows you to do everything.

Ahh ok, a different contact for each mode?! I had thought that with a' single edit access to everything. It would have been sorcery:D

Nice idea ;) I've read about it...but as soon as I saw that a cable used to cost 7€, I preferred to opt for the cable ready.......(I would only the A3...for? I'm doing a little thought)
