Shmaa Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Looking to get some feedback on these. Which ones work the best with iPhone/iPad. Is there anyone that has them locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just a note, the Actron U-Scan bluetooth OBD-II scanner does NOT work with Torque and other apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Bought this one on eBay for like $30, works fine with torque on android. Clears codes too. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/13/9urypa4y.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 If you want one locally, MicroCenter sells both the cheap Wifi & Bluetooth ones that work with Torque. You can also get one off ebay for like $15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also get one off ebay for like $15 Yup, we've got them. There are a few fancy models that have little unreadable gauges and lights in the $50 range. The cheap models are the exact same that Amazon sells (and at the same price). I leave one in each car in-case a car throws a code while I'm away from home. Every once in awhile I will have to disconnect/connect, but they always seem to function well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Do these scan parameters and feedback in real-time to Android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90G60 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Yes, "real-time". Unfortunately there is some lag. At least with any of the setups I've tried. If you really want to try it, grab one from MC with one of those $40 android tablets that are on sale (yes they have the full play store). If it doesn't work for your application return it all.

unfunnyryan Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 If anyone wants to set up a group buy I can get these at like $7-8 a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mseebs Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I used an ebay one for awhile. Worked fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I bought a cheap one off amazon and it works great. I also use Dashcommand from Palmer. I really like its skinning and that it supports creation of your own pids. Theres a ton of features I highly suggest downloading Dashcommand and giving it a test drive.

justinwebb Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I use OBD Link MX for my car PC and it runs all PID's in real time so I can use it as digital gauges with no lag. Its the fastest one on the market but it was pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 AHappyDeal.com has them for 10 dollars a piece. I ordered 2 but they have not come in yet. I will post back once I receive them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
