EDIT: It should say "OBD" not "ODB" in the title. oops
I figure rather then bring my car to a mechanic for a diagnostic, I could try out this method. Apparently if you have a car that OBD2 compliant(1996 & above) you can plug in these adapters and have them communicate with your cell phone or laptop to troubleshoot the issue(s).
I found a few here:
Bluetooth ELM 327 Diagnostics USB Cable - $12.99
Soliport ELM 327 Bluetooth OBDII OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner - $14.84
Actually a whole page full of them here
I want to get one to use with the Google Play app Torque Pro
Anyone have any experience with this? Does it actually work well?
