ELM327 Identifier is an app that helps identify the real version of the ELM327 adapter that you have. Many China clone adapters often declare a wrong compatibility. This app sends almost all available AT commands and shows which ones are supported according to the ELM327 official datasheet, allowing you to quickly check if the adapter declaration is correct or if it's a fake adapter. The app checks 114 AT commands, excluding those that require a car connection with a specific protocol. To use the app, power on the ELM327 adapter, pair it with your Android device, start the app, and press the CONNECT button. The scan will automatically start, and the results will be displayed on the screen. You can also save the results if desired. It's important to note that a fake adapter does not necessarily mean it won't work with your applications.
The advantages of this software are as follows:
- Helps identify the real ELM327 version: The app allows users to identify the actual version of the ELM327 they have, as many China clone adapters often declare incorrect ELM327 compatibility.
- Provides information on supported AT commands: The ELM327 Identifier app sends almost all available AT commands and shows which commands are supported based on the ELM327 official datasheet. This helps users quickly verify if the adapter declaration is correct or if it is a fake adapter.
- Covers a wide range of ELM327 firmware versions: The app supports firmware versions up to v-2 and experimental v-- ensuring compatibility with various ELM327 devices.
- Quick checking of adapter compatibility: By sending AT commands, the app checks if the adapter declaration is correct or if it is a fake adapter. However, some AT commands that require a car connection with a specific protocol are not checked to obtain comparable results.
- Provides scan results and scanning details: After establishing the correct connection, the app automatically starts scanning and displays the results on screen. A white bar indicates which commands should be supported. Users can also press the "RESULTS" button to view scanning details and optionally save results into the internal SD card.
- Allows re-verifying the adapter: Users have the option to press the "RESCAN" button if they want to verify the adapter again.
It is important to note that a fake adapter does not necessarily mean it will not work with your applications. Users can also translate the app's strings into their own language by contacting the developer via email.
