BAFX Brand - ELM 327 Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light and other diagnostics - Android compatible

It's possible all the devices like this one are the same inside, but BAFX really outdid themselves with email support that was fast (more than one response per day) and useful. They remained interested even after their responsibility for explaining how to get it working was satisfied.

If you think they're all the same, buy from BAFX just for the service. If you think they're different, buy this one because no one seems to have problems with it.

My 2006 Caravan had the MIL (check engine light) on, and this device allowed me to find out why AND to turn the light off. You may have to try a few different approaches. I found the trouble codes would only clear after turning the engine off and returning the key to the ON position. The MIL would not turn off if I cleared the codes while the engine was running... but I think that's a Dodge issue and not a problem with this device.

At first my DroidX didn't want to connect to the device. What seemed to work...Read more

Let me start off by saying I had purchased a regular Elm327 (with the orange/blue label) off of another site previously and had a horrible experience. Most of the others available out there don't work on Fords and a number of other vehicles even though they say they do. Needless to say I have a Ford Mustang and it didn't work.

After talking with some people they convinced me I should give this one a try and that it really works on ALL cars. I figured why not, I can always return it.

I got it, plugged it in, fired up Torque on my Droid phone and BAM! Sure enough, it works GREAT!

Even if you don't have any trouble codes to clear on your car (though it works great for that) this is a fun toy to have for any car geek. It gives awesome stats for everything from RPM/Speed plotting graphs, to 1/4 mile stats, HP info, acceleration info etc etc...... best toy for your car ever!

The reader does come with a CD that has some free versions of software...Read more

After looking at a bunch of these Bluetooth OBD2 interfaces I finally settled on this one. It did not have as many reviews but the ones it did have were overwhelmingly positive. I decided to take a chance and much to my relief this tool works flawlessly. I have a 98 Chevy and a HTC EVO (with Torque) and I have had no issues with either so far, it took just a matter of seconds for my phone to discover the device and start pulling down data. I have been wanting to get one of these for a long time now and I am glad I decided to go with this one.
