Compatible brands include: BMW, Mazda, Chevy, Chrysler, Nissan, Ford, Honda, Fiat, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Toyota, GM, Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes Benz, Lexus, Subaru, Saturn, Porsche, Volvo, Saab and Pontiac.

Bluetooth pairing codes and WiFi passwords

Bluetooth scanners use a pairing code to pair the device with your smartphone, tablet or laptop. Different manufacturers use different codes and some even change them from time to time. Most commonly, adapters use “0000”, “1234”, “6789”, “12345678” or something similar. If the seller you bought from did not give you this try the numbers we have provided. If they don’t work, email the seller for help and if there is no help return the unit and purchase one from our shop. We don’t want to skimp when it comes to providing you with this.

WiFi adapters use a code to secure the connection between your smartphone, tablet or computer and the interface. If it asks for a code, enter “12345678” or another combination that is easy to remember. If you cannot understand the code, contact the seller who sold you the unit.

firmware – OBD2 ELM327 interface

Version interpreters have undergone several updates over the past few years. In 2010, Chinese manufacturers switched from firmware interpreter v1.4 to v1.5, which worked to provide users with a better overall experience. The new v1.5 units have proven to be light years ahead in terms of reliability, being able to connect and maintain connections without interruption. If you have a working version of the scanner v1.4 and you are not having any problems, it is likely that you do not need to upgrade. Performance differences between v1.4 and v1.5 scanners and probably not noticeable, the overall impact of the update was in terms of reliability. New diagnostic scanners made in China are released with firmware v2.0 and v2.1. Any improvements with these scanners are currently unknown.

clones – OBD2 ELM327 interface

The original processor chip did not implement copy protection and the code was copied from Chinese manufacturers. These clone devices have taken the market by storm and since their original implementation has become more and more reliable offering outstanding performance. The code and hardware inside the clone devices have been updated on several occasions in order to keep up with the market demand. Clone devices continue to be the most popular and most affordable on the market.

OBD2 ELM327 interface FAQ

The scanner’s power light blinks constantly and I can’t connect via Bluetooth, what am I doing wrong?
The case is very likely that the scanner you purchased is faulty. It should be exchanged for a unit of work.

What is the difference between OBD2 and OBDII?
Nobody, there is no difference.

My scanner is not paired, what am I doing wrong?
Assuming you have a Bluetooth scanner, you can request the pairing code from the dealer where you purchased the scanner. If it still refuses to pair and you have tried all the default pairing codes “0000”, “1234”, “5678”, etc. We recommend that you return the scanner to the seller and purchase it from another seller.

My scanner won’t connect to my iPhone, what should I do?
Assuming you have purchased the Wifi model of the scanner (the Bluetooth model is not supported), you need to consult the quick start guide provided in this guide. If the scanner still refuses to connect, check the corresponding troubleshooting points in the guide and if all else fails, return the scanner to whoever you purchased it and get a scanner from a reputable seller.

My Wifi scanner is not broadcasting an SSID signal, what’s wrong?
This is most likely a sign of a faulty drive. Contact the person you purchased and ask them to exchange a tested unit or just buy from a reputable seller.

Can I upgrade from firmware v1.4 to v1.5?
There is no way to apply this type of update, you need to purchase a new device.

The interface is reporting that there is no response from the ecu, what should I do?
This is likely a sign of a faulty drive. For safety, unplug the scanner and connect it to another vehicle. If the vehicle is running and continues to offer problems, the part will likely need to be replaced with a new unit.

How do I change the COM port number assigned to the device?
Go to the Device Manager control panel and locate the OBD2 adapter under the ‘Ports (COM and LPT)’ submenu. It may be titled ‘USB Serial Port’, if you can’t find it, unplug the adapter and plug it back in, you can see it pop up in real time. Right-click on the device and click on “Properties”, then on the “Port Settings” tab and finally on the “Advanced” button. Here you can change the COM port number, we suggest any COM port between 2 and 5. Click “OK” to save your settings.

I have paired a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to my computer but when I try to connect to the assigned COM port it will not connect to the interface. What I do?
We recommend that you reinstall the device drivers. Here is a walkthrough – these instructions are written specifically by Windows 7, if you are using a different Windows operating system, the steps to take should be similar.

    1. Open the Device Manager control panel
    2. Find the COM and LPT menu and right-click on the “Standard Serial Connection via Bluetooth” entry and select Uninstall. If there are two entries, uninstall each of them.
    3. From the Bluetooth control panel, also remove the OBD-II adapter from there, right click and remove the device.
    4. Start the vehicle, connect the adapter and click “Add a device” in the Bluetooth menu. It will appear and you can enter the pairing code.
    5. Let everything install from scratch, it may take a minute or two for the adapter to appear in Device Manager in the COM and LPT menu. You can have it open during the entire installation to see its progress.
    6. If COM port has been set 4 or similar before, it should install on the same COM port. We suggest using any COM 2-5. This can be changed from the properties menu.

Open Easy Easy-II-II (which can be downloaded from our website) and connect to the COM port. At this point the device will begin to identify the scanner hardware and you are ready to “go online” with your vehicle. If you have changed the COM port during this process and EasyOBD-II is unable to connect to the diagnostic scanner, we suggest you do the reinstallation a second time starting from the first step.

Where should I buy my scanner?
The scanners can be purchased from sellers Amazon, eBay, Sears, NewEgg, and a few other select sites. The reliability of these scanners is hit and miss, as they are generally sold by small businesses with a few people managing all of the company’s operations. It is important to purchase high quality diagnostic tools from sellers who understand the product and can help you connect it from start to finish. If the seller has little or no knowledge of the product, it is advised not to buy from them. The reliability of these scanners can be poor and the instructions for getting the scanner connected can be limited. To avoid these inconveniences, we recommend purchasing a scanner directly from us as these scanners are generally free from defects.

There are many vendors who know little or nothing about the device, sell low quality or faulty units that don’t work, and even can’t even provide installation instructions as ever. That said, it will save you a lot of time and possible trouble by offering you our professional OBD F-TYPE diagnosis module. That said, we can only recommend purchasing them directly from our web store. The checkout process is quick and in most cases your item will be shipped in one business day or less.
