OB2 bluetooth adapter

[Ev0lutionz]

Does anyone use the above? Accurate? And is the port normally near the gas pedal there?

Uisng one..yes is accurate as you are reading off the ecu..

Different cars got different location for the obd port location

How much is one ah? Interesting piece of tool. In case of errors can pin point through my android or iphone also.

How much is one ah? and where i can got one?

 

Taobao or Qoo for the cheapest Android version (can read/write) for around SG$20-$25. Tested on Mazda, Toyota and Honda post 2005 cars.

 

There are higher end ones (~$100+) on Amazon for Apple devices.

does these obd bluetooth adaptors come with proper security features or passwords that can be changed? Especially the cheap ones from china.

 

the worry will be that anyone with a smart phone can detect and pair with your obd adaptor and control some of the car functions like opening the door or even steal your car?

OBD BT adaptors have limitations. They only have access to clearing error codes, real time monitoring of engine conditions and sensors, GPS tracking etc. Only wired OBD devices or laptops have access to security features and engine parameters. So you have nothing to worry.

i see...the reason i am asking is because I see some bluetooth OBD that have applications that allow you to open and unlock doors. Even if they can't start the engine due to the immobilizer function in the smart keys, opening the doors will already make it easier for the thieve to commit his act.
