The big question your asking is why is this more expensive than other 'similar' devices on ebay/amazon? There are many reasons. Cheap Chinese versions don't work properly on many cars because the makers skimp on many of the more expensive components needed for the full range of OBD protocols. By leaving out key regulating components the cheap versions normally burn out after a few uses. The WIFI module is always the cheapest one available and gives limited range and stability. The other trick that the Chinese manufacturers use is to boost up the revision number 1.5/2.1 etc. By far the worst version is the 2.1, it only works on 3 protocols and is known to damage ECUs. You must rely on the old saying 'you only get what you pay for'. Our units are specially manufactured by PROSCAN AUTOMOTIVE for distribution via a limited number of suppliers. Also it's worth noting that our adapter works on Windows and Android and IOS
Our adapters support ALL OBD2 protocols which include:
SAE J1850 PWM(41.6Kbaud)
SAE J1850 VPW(10.4Kbaud)
ISO9141-2(5 baud init,10.4Kbaud)
ISO14230-4 KWP(5 baud init,10.4 Kbaud)
ISO14230-4 KWP(fast init,10.4 Kbaud)
ISO15765-4 CAN(11bit ID,500 Kbaud)
ISO15765-4 CAN(29bit ID,500 Kbaud)
ISO15765-4 CAN(11bit ID,250 Kbaud)
ISO15765-4 CAN(29bit ID,250 Kbaud)
SAE J1939 CAN(29bit ID,250*Kbaud)
CAN(11*bit ID,125*Kbaud)
The Torque/dashcommand or similar android/apple app can be purchased via the store for a few pounds, I would recommend 'dashcommand' by palmer, it's been a favourite of petrol heads for many years.
We supply a download link (on request) with connection guides for Windows and some free Windows software. Also installation instructions for Torque/apple are included.
ANDROID
Torque is an engine
diagnostics application for Android that allows you to directly monitor
your car engine control unit (ECU) and retrieve various information from
the sensors connected to it as well as use your phones internal GPS and
accelerometer sensors to graph other information such as acceleration
Torque can be used to view any stored fault codes on your vehicles ECU,
then, after a mechanic fixing the fault, it also can clear the fault
codes allowing you to clear the ‘Check Engine’ light warning on your
dashboard.
