ELM 327 iPhone Scanners that Work

2016-05-05 13:42:00

If you’ve already bought an ELM 327 Bluetooth scanner to use with your iPhone, you have a few options. The best option is to return the device and buy one that will work with your phone — either an ELM 327 Wi-Fi scanner or one that has a USB/dock connector. These aren’t as common as Bluetooth models, and they tend to be more expensive, but they’ll work with your stock iPhone.

 

The next best option is to use the scanner you bought with something other than your iPhone. If you have an old Android phone or tablet laying around that you don’t use anymore, it will probably pair up with your scanner just fine. If you only use Apple devices, then you can lug your Macbook out to your car and use that, since Macbooks typically pair with ELM 327 Bluetooth scanners with no problem at all. You may have to spend a little money on software, but it will work.

 

If you’re dead set on getting your ELM327 iPhone Bluetooth connection to work, then jailbreaking is a viable option. Of course, jailbreaking an iOS device is never a task to be taken lightly, and it’s vital that you fully understand the procedure before you start. Otherwise, you may end up bricking your phone instead of rendering it capable of connecting to a Bluetooth ELM327 scanner.
