OBD2 WIFI Adapter vs OBD2 Bluetooth Interface Which is better?

The OBD2 WIFI Adapter is a one of the latest programmed microcontroller and a scan tool produced by the ELM electronics that is compatible with all the OBD2 protocols such as VPN, KWP, PWN and CAN. It is used to translate the OBD2 interface that is found on most modern cars. In fact, it has become one of the most popular and practical PC-to-OBD2 interface standards that are implemented on the PIC18F2480 micro-controller from the Microchip Technology.

Generally, OBD2 WIFI functions more or less as a bridge between the On-board computer in your car and your PC or any other compatible handheld device, communicates with the OBD2 systems and then relays data either via Bluetooth, WiFi or BLUETOOH, depending on the implementation.

The tiny program was developed to help bridge the gap that was created by the original simpler devices which were used to read, diagnose and clear codes but unfortunately could not give any access to the PIDs that are very useful in diagnosing all forms of power problems among other automotive issues. And although all devices that have employed the use of OBD2 WIFI Adapter still don’t really hold the candle to professional scan tools, they actually do put so much information in the DIYers hands.

The OBD2 WIFI version makes use of the OBD2 WIFI Code Scanner to get information from your car’s computer through the use of your PC and a hardware interface. The OBD2 WIFI lets you perform a number of operations that include:

Supplementary vehicle instrumentation;

Allow you to read both the generic as well as manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble codes, and display their meaning on your PC;

Clear all the trouble codes and turn off the “Check Engine” light (also referred to as MIL).

Display all the current sensor-data that includes: Calculated Load Value (CLV), Vehicle Speed, Fuel System Status, Engine RPM, both short-term and long-term fuel trim, Timing Advance, Coolant temperature, Absolute Throttle Position, Intake Air temperature, Fuel Pressure, Air Flow Rate etc.

Apart from the BLUETOOH version, OBD2 WIFI Android also has a wireless OBD2 Bluetooth adapter which can be used both with a PC and a smart phone. It utilizes its medium-speed CAN bus protocol to provide data in an absolute fury. It works with all the 1996 as well as newer cars and trucks that are OBD2 compliant. Unlike the traditional OBD2 scan tools and code readers that make use of hard-wired connections, the Bluetooth adapter has emerged as an alternative that completely eliminates the use of this proverbial cord.

The Bluetooth version scan tool is not only designed for easy and informative engine scanning, it can also retrieve trouble codes, read very many statistics which are not available with other scanning tools and can also reset the engine light. It allows you to connect your laptop or Android phone with the Torque app. It also works perfectly with all makes and models.
