OBD2 WiFi For Android iPhone iPad

Postby Jaffasoft » Wed Apr 26, 2017 1:54 am

I'm hoping that I can connect this thing and read codes using a Apple MacOS Sierra Air Laptop, Version:10.12.3 (16D32).. has anyone tried it?, though I have a iPhone 5 if that fails. Can anyone confirm that these work reading my 2003 Ford Transit Van. It's definitely got the 8 hole plug under the dash below the steering wheel.

Considering the local mechanics charge $80 to do this reading I might as well invest in one :evil:.

My Ford Transit specifics are in my signature as well. This is the Vehicles VIN:

It may work, but it'll only read engine codes, not abs, airbag, or transmission codes

The Elm327 won't read codes on my mk6.

The local repco parts shop told me today the OBD 2 won't work on mine. What will work that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

I'm sure most people use f-super on mk6? But I'd think your best option would be ids, although your looking around the £100-£150 mark for ids.


I recently bought Delphi diagnostics, good bit of kit which has read everything I've connected it too

although Cant confirm it will read a mk6? Purely as I haven't tried one.

Should never assume but my gut is saying the possibilities seem high that it will.

F-Super works pretty well on Mk6 machines.

I had a mate try his $20 OBD 2 reader from China connected to my rig today and it couldn't read any codes.

Just got to find something to buy here in OZ now for a fair price!

Once again....Mk6 is "NOT" OBD-II compliant...so you're wasting your time trying to connect an OBD-II reader.

As mentioned...F-Super will do it but I'm not sure about using it on a Mac, the software supplied is "Windoze XP thru 10" ...32 & 64...

You won't find the F-Super here in Aus...you'll need to get one from the UK or China.

I had the experts read it today and they were kind enough not to charge. Still I'm going to on the lookout to get a reader.
