Im not overly a*sd about all the satats etc I just want it for a diagnostic tool and to turn off eml when needed. Obviously for £12 its not going to anywhere near as good as a star machine for diagnosing etc but the basic stuff will make it worth it.

Funny you saying that.....
I always wanted a ScanGauge II...but in the end...I found eventually I hardly ever looked at it.

this is why i never bought an android phone - £50 was too much for a little bit of fun! my sis is upgrading her android soon though....

I just want a mini boost gauge - and if things look good, I may buy one and put it in a vent :)

My device arrived today won't work on my android tablet but got it working on the mrs phone.
After a bit of tinkering I got it working with bluetooth on my iphone, heres how I did it:

Phone needs to be jailbroken and have cydia installed:
First go to cydia and download RoqyBT4 and RoqyOBD4

You will see the 2 apps ticked in the below picture as there already installed on my phone


Next open RoqyBT & you will be presented with the following screen:


Go to configuration and copy the following options:

The app will then find your ELM327 device, click on it then it will give you a screen with an ip address (127.0.0.1) and port (35000)

For the OBD app to work you need to purchase a license through RoqyBT which is 5euro

To set up in Dashcommand app I went to settings and chose the following options for the OBD device and data port:



The app will then recognise the device and work :)
The setup will be slightly different for other OBD apps but as long as you choose the KIWI scanner and use IP 127.0.0.1 with port 35000 it should work
