Today I'm taking a closer look at the OBD scanner I got in a mailbag earlier in September. It's a relatively straightforward unit. Of course I took it apart...

Here is the listing I got this OBD scanner from: https://pileofstuff.ca/r/6jxgq As always, shop around to see if another seller has the same thing on discount at the moment. Things change daily on aliexpress...

I also compared it to a cheap bluetooth OBD dongle: https://pileofstuff.ca/r/j7ef2

Which I used with the free version of the Torque app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torquefree&hl=en-US

If yo want more information on the OBD system itself, Wikipedia has you covered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics

This isn't the only way to do it. It's probably not the best way to do it. But it's how I did it.
