OBDKey - any experiences?

Hi All,

Due to the continued issues with my MIL light since the exhaust and car have been getting less and less standard and also to get a better understanding of what�s going on with the engine I’ve decided to take the plunge and get an OBD2 reading tool.

This one sounds good;

I was wondering if anyone had actually used one and if it does what it says on the tin

  • Can I resent the MIL warning?
  • How good are the real time displays / recordings?

cheers

Torque app for Android is excellent for doing that sort of stuff.
Only costs about 3 quid if I remember correct…

yea torque is great, and only needs a �10 bluetooth ELM347 interface

As ever no one has answered your specific questions!!! :cry:

Not sure how much help this is (and Podger will doubtless tell me if it’s none at all, lol!)…

A while ago I bought a cheap OBD reader (ebay, search for U380) as I had a frequent issue with the emissions light on a car of mine (Renault Clio, actually, but still…).

This was under �20 and worked fine. Links with VPW, KWP2000, PWM & ISO9141 protocols, reads all error codes and erases them.

Lol… Very true. Might have to get an android phone…

Think I am going to take the plunge, had a response on Seloc about this too.

I’ll report back once I have it to let everyone know if it’s any good.

Hi,

I have had the OBDkey bluetooth unit for about 4 years.

Works with my phone (treo) and laptop. Very useful on any obdc vehicles.

If you can get the same functionality from an android/apple app then that would be a lot cheaper but that option wasn’t available when I bought the OBDkey.

Take care,

Frank
