Leoschariot Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Has anybody used one of the bluetooth obd adapters with they're iPhone and had any success. If so which hardware and software have you used. I like the idea of being able to scan and erase your own fault codes. Seems too good to be true though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 There are various bits of hardware out there that you can buy to do this for as little as £15-£20 (complete device - no bluetooth/app required) I use my bluefin remap device from superchips as this doubles as a code reader and has worked on several vehicles for me! :) Take a look at this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-fault-reader-code-scanner-diagnostic-tool-OBD-2-CAN-/230644533100?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item35b37c476c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoschariot Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Oh right that's seems simpler than messing around with bluetooth. That unit just plugs in and does its stuff then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be worth having a look around. This was simply the first one that came up with an eBay search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I use a bluetooth interface and the Torque Pro app. Reads/resets fault codes and gives realtime data while driving which is handy for logging realtime faults and petformance statistics.

Which interface did you use and is your car diesel because I bought one interface which I couldn't pair with my iPhone. I then read the original eBay ad to discover it didn't work on diesel cars. Also, are you dying iPhone or android as I can't seem to find torque app on iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I use this interface- http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=261303432748 It comes with software for use on a laptop with a bluetooth dongle/interface if need be. You're right, Torque isn't on iOS, try BlueDriver instead. Sent using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
