Another thing is that developers of that adapter certainly used most popular programs to test their product with. So, if we assume Torque uses 30% of adapter abilities, FORScan uses 70%. In other words, FORScan uses more complex protocol that requires much more intensive using of adapter. FORScan uses OBDII just as a transport, in the meantime it supports specific Ford/Mazda protocol features. Torque and other adapters work over OBDII protocol. Then why it works in Torque/ScanMaster etc? Good questions that is always hard to answer to, but we will try again. It doesn't support many commands from original set of ELM327 and also have serious differencies in processing logic. So if previous versions (ELM327 up to v1.5) were really compatible with original ELM327 v1.4 and worked on the same hardware, new version is only partially compatible with any ELM327. In fact it is not a clone anymore, but the problem it is also not ELM327 anymore and not really compatible. Some time ago some (china?) engineers started to develop their own product, for other (more cheap) micorcontroller and developed their custom firmware. But it was still based on original firmware and same hardware. As far as we know, some of first version of ELM327 v1.0 were somehow replicated and pirates started to clone and develop it. Although very good and talented program.Īs ELM327 became very popular, a lot of people (mainly located in China, for known reasons) started to clone it. In some other words, ELM327 is simply a program for PIC18F25xx microcontroller. In other words, ELM Electronics developed a firmware, not hardware. Original ELM327 developed by ELM Electronics is a PIC18F25xx microcontroller, with a special firmware. So we have decided to post some clarification. Many users don't understand why FORScan doesn't work with these while Torque works fine. Just to clarify about counterfeit ELM327 v2.1 adapters. I found by chance the link,I have not bought. In other words, it is simply a cheat.ĭoes anyone know where to purchase good board with ELM327 v2.1 inside? If you ask seller about it, they will answer that the device has "v1.5 firmware and v2.1 software", meaning that ELM327 v1.5 is distributed with ScanMaster-ELM v2.1. Of course, it is just another china clone and ATI command returns ELM327 v1.5.

Note that the description page has reference to v2.1 in bold. Super Mini ELM327 OBD2 OBDII Bluetooth Auto Car Diagnostic Interface Scanner, Easy to take. We have ordered the device from the top of the list and as a result, we got this adapter: Typed "ELM327 v2.1" in google and got list of links. We have decided to buy a couple of devices and test them. In the meantime, we got a request about support it in FORScan. In contrast to 2.0, that has no significant advantages against v1.4 (from FORScan's point of view), v2.1 contains quite important feature for CAN. It may be easier to aim for the relevant relay in the engine bay, if any, but then I'd have to determine which and I don't have the patience.FORScan wrote:ELM Electronics recently released ELM327 v2.1 chip. Judging by the ridiculously lightweight cable built into the LED units, I don't expect the current drain to unbalance the parkers' intensity. This happens to be the pin in the lower inner corner of the connector to the driver's side cluster, which has a deep mating surrounding shroud, so if I aim for this I'll have to channel the connecting wire carefully in and out of this arrangement. The earth I'll steal from any nearby structural bolt but the power I need to steal from the pin carrying the 12V to the parking lamps, seen as the top right corner in this image ( thanks to ). I've completed the loom but need to terminate it at suitable points. I see that they will weather better out of direct sunlight, look neater and 'meaner' underneath just above the licence plate than on top of the bar. Yes, haven't tried it yet because I'm still catching up on the previous purchase, wiring up the driving lights to the underside of the licence plate bullbar. The two are chalk and cheese, Piston being raw readouts of figures from a range of selectable sensors while TorquePro goes all out with grahical dashboard layouts, HUD display and trip, performance and economy calculations and logs. I also downloaded and installed the very basic ad-free Piston app.
1.8 SCANMASTER ELM ANDROID
I chose TorquePro v 1.8.16 (no KeyGen needed) for my Acer Liquid Z220 Android phone and transferred it from my W7 laptop using the freshly downloaded Bluetooth File Transfer app. I had a giggle at seeing the KeyGens included. It comes with a mini CD with the following software: Mini ELM327 OBD2 II Bluetooth Car Auto OBD2 Interface Diagnostic Scanner Tool S | eBay

It plugs in neatly and invisibly under the drivers dash and just. I received my OBD dongle last night and played with it today short of starting Firty.
