AutoProPlus is a free app for monitoring your vehicle with an iPhone. A little difficult to figure out as the Owner’s Manual and web site are both very minimal.

Airbag Reset Software Elm327 Scan Tool

BT1
Another bit of software that works using Bluetooth, but only if you also purchase the GoPoint Technology BT1 interface module.

DashCommand
Palmer Performance are here with another app for ELM327s and compatibles. DashCommand is a reasonable price considering what you get. You can also purchase enhancements that allow more than just generic data for many vehicles.

Engine Link
This app continuously monitors several engine parameters, but it’s not clear how you can modify (or stop) them. It does allow you to define custom PIDs though, which might be handy (depending on just what you are using the scan tool for).

EOBD Facile
The basic version of this app is free, and works well. It provides some vehicle information, and will read trouble codes, but you can not clear them unless you buy the full package. Once you’ve got to that point, you will know how you like the software, and the decision should be easy. Well worth a try.

ezOBD
Up and Running have a free app that may be just what you’re looking for. The reviews aren’t in on it yet, but it is being updated regularly.

FORScan Lite
Lite version of the popular Windows software. Requires a WiFi ELM327 (or compatible) device.

iOBD2
This software offers free support for their iOBD2 hardware, but you must pay in order to connect to an ELM327 device.

ubiqCOM offers this software for the iPad or iPhone. Unfortunately, the free demo version will not connect to a vehicle, so you can not really try it before you buy it.

OBD Car Doctor
A great little bit of free software. Provides all the basics, and works quite well.

OBD Fusion
A full-featured interface from OCTech that sells for a reasonable price. Does just about everything that you would want and now even offers support for the Apple Watch.

* We are aware that older iOS devices have serial data available at the 30 pin connector, but do not know of any software that you could use to take advantage of it.

top

Android Software

There’s a large number of Android Apps for talking to the ELM327. We’ve had to pare it down to a few of the most popular:

Car Gauge Pro
OBD Scantech’s app provides all the basics, as well as enhanced diagnostic data for many vehicles. The price is quite reasonable too.

CarSys Scan
OBD High Tech offers a free app that provides all the basics. For use with Bluetooth scan tools.

DashCommand
Palmer Performance also supports the ELM327 (and compatibles) on Android. This app only allows 30 minutes of (limited) use before you have to make your decision whether to buy.

eCar PRO
This software reads your OBD information through Bluetooth, but does more than just read trouble codes. You can see and compare sensor data, set alarms, display times, and calculate torque and horsepower.

EOBD Facile
The basic version of this app is free, and works well. It provides some vehicle information, and will read trouble codes, but you can not clear them unless you buy the full package. Once you’ve got to that point, you will know how you like the software, can decide whether to purchase the ‘Premium Access’ package. Well worth a try.

ELM327 Terminal
Designed to send pre-defined AT and OBD commands for you. It’s a free app that may be right for you.

Elm Basic
This is terminal program for sending commands to an ELM327 interface and receiving replies. Just what you may need if you want to stay in complete control.

FordSys Scan Free
Another app by OBD High Tech. This one caters to Ford vehicles, providing information from several vehicle modules as well as the OBDII diagnostics. For use with Bluetooth scan tools.

Honda Database
Need Honda trouble code or ECU info, or engine or transmission specs? If so, this handy app is certainly worth a look.

Kwik OBD Terminal
Another terminal program for sending commands to an ELM327 interface and receiving replies. Just what you may need if you want to stay in complete control.

Leaf Spy Pro
Owners of the Nissan Leaf will be interested in this Android app. There’s also a free version (Leaf Spy Lite) that will give battery info. The Leaf Spy Pro page on the Electric Vehicle Wiki is a must-visit too.

OBD Auto Doctor
This one is very similar to the iOS version, and it remains a free app too. A great little bit of software that provides all the basics and works well.

OBD Car Doctor
This one is very similar to the iOS version, and it remains a free app too. A great little bit of free software. Provides all the basics and works well.

OBD Trouble Codes Lite
Get trouble code descriptions on your phone or tablet. The free version of this app (ad sponsored) contains the generic trouble codes (from P0001 to P099F) in its database. The full (paid) version contains almost 20000 codes.

Piston (OBD2 & ELM327)
Marcin Gierlicki’s ‘Piston’ seems to be well designed, and worked well in testing. A free offering that should be one of the first to try.

RaceChrono
A popular lap timer app that logs both gps information and OBD data. The free version is time-limited, so if you find it useful, you will want to upgrade to the pro version.

ScanMaster for ELM327
A great free app from WGSoft.de, makers of the other ScanMaster programs. Should be one of the first apps that you try. Has in-app purchases.

Scanclic
Most of the OBD software available is in English, but if you prefer Italian, one company (Informaticlaclic) offers Windows and Android software packages that may be of interest to you.

ScanMyOpel Lite
This app is only for Opel/Vauxhall diagnostics, but that is exactly what many users are looking for. Try this Lite (limited) version before you decide whether to buy the full one.

Torque Lite
Free version of the popular app offers a lot for no cost.

Torque Pro
Is the full version of the app, which offers more features, supports more vehicles, and does not have ads.

TouchScan
This modestly priced app is getting fairly good reviews. If you’re looking for an app with a gauge type interface, this one is worth considering.

Note that most Android software requires that you already be paired with a Bluetooth device. We are often asked about pairing codes and while we can never know exactly what code would apply to your interface, we can say that most use either 0000 or 1234.

Tips and guides here help you choose a decent airbag reset tool for universal vehicles.

What’s the airbag reset & Why do you need it?

For a tool that promotes safety during collisions, many people do not know what airbag modules are or their function in a vehicle. Also known as the airbag sensor, diagnostic unit, and computer module, the airbag module is responsible for receiving information from the collision sensor. That information is then relayed to the airbag sensors and the airbags are deployed during impact. Thus, having a faulty airbag module can prevent airbags from deploying when they are most needed, and can result in dangerous consequences for those in the vehicle.

Found in all vehicles, the airbag module is a computer that stores information. Thus, during a collision, the impact data is stored in the air bag module. You will know when this occurs because your airbag light will turn on until the airbag module is replaced or repaired. This information renders the airbag module useless and typically vehicle owners often replace it. However, airbag module reset is a simple process at Safety Restore. The airbag module reset service can fix your existing air bag module and save you money.

Air bag module replacement can often cost upwards of $1,000.00. A decent airbag reset tool will help airbag module reset in which the original air bag module is used, but any crash data hard codes are reset. Not only is this a cheaper option, but it is less wasteful. The OEM factory is installed program to erase the crash data for airbag module reset. This process of airbag module reset leaves the airbag module good as new, saving you hundreds of dollars. If your airbag light is on, airbag module reset is not just necessary, but can possibly save your life down the road.
