OBD2 ELM327 Bluetooth mini
Need some help,
Does anyone know if the ELM327 windows software will run on a windows based unit. OS: Microsoft WinCE6.0 Would like to get Torque Pro installed onto my unit and run the ELM327 via Bluetooth. https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rc...42080656,d.d2k Last edited by Ryan86; 02-11-2013 at 02:30 AM. |

Hi Guys, sorry been silent for a while. i have found an alternative to Torque pro. its called dash command. i have been using both for a while now and dash command gives me more data and an easier user interface than torque pro.
all thats required is registration and your good to go. |

Welcome back.
Cool, on which OS does it run? I've ordered 3 devices - Bluetooth, USB and WiFi. That should cover all bases...

lol. ive got the cheapest (200rands) ELM device bluetooth. and it reads perfectly.
works on Android. got it running on my 10.1 tab, and have been toying with the idea of buying a 7" cheapo tab to install semi-permanently in the car. if someone knows where i can buy a cheap tab please let me know. (even works on my alfa, which are normally very finicky cars) |

There are alternative software you can use on Windows. Both setup a Bluetooth to Serial connection through buggy drivers.
ScanXL http://www.scantool.net/software/ or Digimoto http://www.digimoto.com/Shop/default.aspx I ditched both for Torque. Same features for $5. |

forgive my ignorance but how in the world does the head unit communicate to the car to get all that information?

Thanks.
Yep, bluetooth is pretty much a dead end. WiFi is the answer and this should definitely work with Torque Pro, I'm just waiting for the ELM327 device from eBay.
