Contact Car Scanner ELM OBD2 Support

I really like this app. It’s very useful. There are some things I would rather be different. I would like to change the search engine that looks up codes. I don’t use Google for anything at all and it’s very important to me that I avoid it whenever I can. Also, there are extra settings/sensors and such that show up that aren’t part of my vehicle’s system. In other words, if my particular vehicle wasn’t even available as a turbo, why would that be listed on sensors and such? I wish it was a little more specific and showed when things are out of parameters. I must say though, for what it is it’s awesome. Short of buying a multi-thousand dollar computer it’s about as good as it gets. The ELM OBD2 device I got for like $12 on clearance somewhere (Micro Mechanic).

This device works great for my FJ. I have access to fuel consumption m data, and more senators than I can count. My only issue is that I have to manually connect each time, it does auto connect for a short time, running in to the gas station then coming back to drive within a couple of minutes or so for example, however for daily drivers getting in to the car I gave to manually connect each time with my iPhone. Is there a way to set it to automatically connect to my ODB-II device like my phone does with my stereo? It’s the only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars. Nevertheless I absolutely recommend this app for your vehicle. Totally worth the forever price.

I have a fully restored 89 Land Cruiser with a GM LS swap (toyotafj62_texas) on IG and needless to say can be tricky pulling good data that hasn’t been influenced by bad data. Combining 2 worlds can be a challenge. This app traveled with me on 3 recent trips to very remote locations often above 10,000 feet elevation, needless to say the old goat needed to be monitored. The app worked flawlessly. Additionally was accurate enough that I was able to trend negative info and predicted issues well before they happened. Last trip saw it coming, called ahead to a maintenance shop hours before arrival, mechanic ask very specific details and I sent him screenshot, upon arrival no q&a, swapped parts and off I went. Last ecu tune and dyno the computer tech saw me using the app and played it down, until he saw me trending the same data he was with accuracy. Later he asked if he could use my iPhone and try the program. Certainly not what I expected with a guy using a $5000 programming tool. Great work and thank you for saving my life. Your hard work providing me with data I need to keep moving saved me from unfortunate events. Knowledge is power…
