LYL Super Mini Wireless WiFi OBDII Diagnostic Scanner for iPhone iPad iPod

Given the price, I wasn't expecting much, and I have to say, I got exactly what I expected. The ODBII reader shipped with a mini-CD which I have no way of reading, but it also came with a scrap of paper (I'm not mischaracterizing) that mentioned an online download site for those who could not read a mini-CD. That site allowed me to download, after clicking through a lot of obnoxious ads and quite possibly exposing my computer to unknown risks, a .rar file that included software for Windows PCs, and for Andoid, iOS, and Symbian phones. Unfortunately, the iOS software provided required a jailbroken phone, so I had to buy a copy of it from the App Store for $10, which I fully expected having to do when I placed the order.The unit seems to work fine, although it took me a few tries to get the WiFi connection to work, and I had to guess which on compatibility when I first started using DashCommand. There are three options, none of which mentioned "Blusmart" or "Buke," but it wasn't too hard to find which of the three that works, just a little unnerving. The reader/software combination seems to work for basic things: reading RPMs, speed, etc., and reading SES codes (which is what I purchased it for). Strangely, it doesn't seem to work for fairly basic things like fuel level. I suspect that there is some tweaking within DashCommand that might fix that.In all, not a bad purchase. I'm actually kind of surprised that it worked. I would definitely suggest skipping the CD (which others have indicated has viruses) and the download and just paying the $10 for DashCommand.

Pretty awesome device. Will read and clear on Subaru's, Lincoln's' and Honda's.HOWEVER, It reads the codes on our 2010 BMW 535i but wont's clear them.I purposely bought gas with the engine on or drove around with gas cap off to see if this would read and clear the codes on our 4 cars. worked great on a 2002 Subaru WRX, 2005 Civic, 2010 Navigator but on our 2010 BMW it could only read the code. Damn!

Had no problems connecting to my Android phone or the Torque app with my vehicle. Android even gives me the option to use mobile data while connected so I don't lose access to the Internet when using the adapter.Problem is the adapter is very slow at communicating with my vehicle compare to a super mini Bluetooth adapter. This one reads an average of 4 PID's/sec whereas my Bluetooth super mini achieves 13-14 PID's/sec. This makes a huge difference in the update speed of gauges when using Torque or similar apps. I tested on another, newer model, vehicle and the super mini achieved 24 PID's/sec where this one only managed 8-9 PID's/sec. Bottom line it's too slow to be useful.

I am a gadget guy and this has to be one of the coolest things I have come across recently! I bought it originally to help diagnose my son's check engine light. The place where we have our vehicles serviced gave us a rundown of several items that totaled over $1,000. After purchasing, I plugged this into my service port, downloaded OBD Fusion for my iPhone, and had everything working within a matter of minutes. The diagnostics listed several items related to the check engine light. One option is to clear the error codes, which I did. Once I did that, only 1 error code came back, which was a faulty fuel injector - a $50 part. This thing just paid for itself!!!Now, the part I love is the access I have to all the other gauges and information. I leave this unit plugged into the diagnostic port all the time and leave Fusion running. It reminds me of a mix between the old school days of having all sorts of gauges on your dash, and a scene from the Fast and Furious. I think I will figure out a way to permanently mount an iPad mini to display all of this info. I have read about other units draining the battery but this one detects when the car is off and shuts down. I think I have run into a conflict by having the unit plugged-in and trying to use iheart radio at the same time. It may be because it wants to default to using the wifi signal, which isn't for internet access since it is broadcast from this device. I need to do more analysis, but for now, I just turn off the wifi on my phone when I listen to iheart radio in the car.The unit itself looks like Steve Jobs designed it. It's very sleek and simple. The only thing that bothers me is when the wifi is active on the device, there is a constant blinking from a blue light. A simple piece of white electrical tape over the face of the unit will cure that, however, and not hurt the looks.

I got sick of paying a shop for diagnostics and found that you can get a OBDII device and read trouble codes on your own. I had purchased a cheap $10 one that didn't work so I looked for something a little nicer and found this. It synced up to my phones wifi after a few seconds and I bought the Dash Command app for my iphone 6 so that it could read the trouble codes. I had paid $100 for a service shop to diagnose my car, but I could have gotten that information and read the codes myself for under $40 ($25 for tool and $10 for app). The vehicle I am using it with is a 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5S.I highly recommend!

This little thing works great I love it. The smartphone app has great features and this thing has saved me quite a bit of money all Diagnostics in I fix my problems myself because of this little item.

Used this little transmitter on a cross country return trip through US and Canada. Our 2001 RV doesn't have the latest computerized instrument cluster, so I mounted an iPad and this device to upgrade instrumentation using DashCmd app. Paired easily and quickly, worked well with the occasional dropped signal. It often reconnected after a few seconds, and a few times had to manually reconnect wifi using iPad settings. After a month and a half of continual use on the road, it earned 4 stars for ease of use and very good reliability.

Works well right out of the box. I didn't use the mini CD it came with, so I can't say anything about the software, but I got it synced up to OBDCarDoctor (free iOS app) with zero hiccups.
