This is a real AccuRave ELM 327 ODB II Bluetooth adapter. Beware! There are dodgy ELM327 models that do not work correctly. Purchase from a reliable source. I got this from Amazon:
--Link Removed, No longer available-- sorry.
Do not expect the cheap $9.95 models to reliably work.
This is an Android compatible OBD2 CANBUS Blue Tooth code scanner. Watch as I scan the car's C.A.N. (Controller Area Network) CANODB2 bus to read DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) error codes from vehicle computer.
Use to clear messages and turn off "Check Engine Light" from car. MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) is also called the CEL (Check Engine Light). At $22 for a BT ODB II CAN BUS scanner you cannot go wrong.
The real power is from third party EMS (Engine Management System) apps like Torque and OBD Car Doctor that run on Android phones. These applications can display and log all engine and GPS parameters to compute performance statistics like 0 to 60 times and mile per gallon.
This scan tool module also comes with a CD containing Windows Bluetooth applications for use on BT enabled laptop computers.
