Thread: Any recommendations on a good bluetooth OBD II scanner adapter???

Hello everyone. I have a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix base with the 3.8 non supercharged. I have been interested in getting one of those bluetooth adapters and I would like to know which ones you guys are using, if you have any recommendations on a good one that can read engine codes along with trans, BCM, airbags, ect... I would like to know whatever you can tell me. I have an actual scan tool but its not able to log data, and I would like to track these things. Also which apps have you guys had the best luck with?

Thanks!

I have used quite a few scanners, but this one is the best I've ever used for the price. The reviews look bad at first, but all the issues are user error, or unsupported newer vehicles. At least for our cars when used right, you can view abs, srs, mil codes and view, graph and capture all engine data from every module. Especially helpful for diagnosing abs since you can view wheel sensor output and codes live while driving.

It does have a steep learning curve, and only comes with three software packs (makes of car, gm, ford, etc.) And you pay $40 for each additional patch. The support is abizmal, so if you're bad with simple technology, don't get this one.

I've used this tool on all my cars, and it does what most dealer level tools can do. I'll post some screenshots when I can.

I use this one for the Torque pro app. Works great, I'm really happy with it. I set up a magnetic mount in the cubby in the console with my old phone. I have a screen with boost, fuel flow, kr, coolant temp and intake temp..real time scanning. It's my gauge set up for now. $21.00 for the adapter and $5 for the app. Scans dtc's too

I can vouch for that scanner too, as I started with that one too. However, I do have to mention it will not show all engine data or abs/srs etc. codes. The easydiag will

Thanks you guys!

I bought Launch CReader 8011 specially to read ABS codes on my Mercedes Benz vehicle. I like that it comes with the storage case, USB cable and micro SD card to transfer data. It was amazing when I use it at the first time. Cleared the ABS code and gave me lots of data about my vehicle with the large and clear display. Moreover, it supports oil and epb reset,I was impressed with the product function.I think this is a must have for any car owners.

It depends on. However, most cheaper OBD2 scanner run slowly and have little functions. On the opposition, if your budget is around $200, the OBD2 scanners is always satisfing to the most extent. At previous BLACK FRIDAY, I boudget Launch X431 OBD2 Scanner Viii [IMG]file:///C:\Users\ADMINI~1.JX-\AppData\Local\Temp\[5UQ[BL(6~BS2JV6W}N6[%S.png[/IMG]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EN7JPIOat lower price, and is very happy with it. Its design is more exquisite and more comprehensive than other OBD2 scanners I ever used.

I heared of it with good reputation. It will be my next choice. Thank you for sharing.

I recently learned of BlueDriver. It will read enhanced codes such as SRS and ABS.
It's a Bluetooth adapter for $100 with a free app.

I currently use an OBDlink mx Bluetooth adapter I got from scantool.net, its pretty quick with torque and their own app. But for the same price it (when I bought it) it doesn't so what bluedriver can.

Great suggestions!

What one will work for ABS?
I have that one, but won't seem to work with none of my apps for ABS.

I second the Bluetooth driver. I was able to get it on sale during the Amazon prime day for 75$. Totally worth it. You can watch crisfix review it also to see if it has everything you need.

Wish I could get it for that price I would try it.
It's up to $120 at Amazon now.
