Hi guys,

Before buying, I figure I would ask,
As any of you ever used or tried this bluetooth OBD2 reader??
iOBD2 from X Tool.
That thing looks cool with lots of live info from the PCM.

Thanks

I know a guy using an iPhone based device but I don't know which one. He loves it tho. But like any OBD device the data streams at about 10 hz which is ridiculously slow. My Palmer Engineering software and Innovate LM-2, both which are pretty expensive compared to a Bluetooth device, suffer from the same slow data stream.

Sadly, like I said, there is no OBD tool that will collect data fast. It does not however mean that OBD collection is worthless and/or a waste of money. I've been doing it for several years now with the platforms I've listed.
