Default Bluetooth Scanner!

I just was looking at a Bluetooth OBD1 scanner on you tube which I liked but it only worked on Android devices.

Anyone know if there is one for Apple products?

Let me ask you this. Why do you want one that works on Apple? What do YOU currently like that is on Android? Buy a used phone and update it on WI-FI. Make it a dedicated scanner.

Like I said, it was a Bluetooth scanner that only used Android.

I just might take your advice!

I doubt Apple would allow that kind of app in their sacred app store

You can get a decent android phone for 50-75 on ebay. Some brand new ones are 100

You can easily find sub $100 Android Tablets - just make sure that they do Bluetooth (it seems not all do).

Are you looking to datalog or just diagnose ???

I have data master but with that as a standby and auto x-ray as primary and snap on as second, I have not tried enough of the Droid stuff to know for sure
