Hi all,

 

Sorry if I'm doubling up.

 

I'm trying to read the codes on my 2004 2.0lt RX Impreza.

 

A friend of mine gave me his bluetooth OBD2 scanner because it doesn't work on his car (due to the age) but I couldn't get it to work. :dash2:

So i bought a USB OBD2 reader and had very little success.... :dash2:  :dash2:

 

Can anyone suggest useful software to pair with these devices? (see image)

 

i think the usb one i bought was an ELM32.

and I don't have either drivers.... 

 

Thanks heaps.

Torque or Torque Lite in app store. You need the instructions to pair them up.

As duncan pointed out, it's on both platforms. You have to fork with bluetooth settings, and pair it while key isset to accessories.

Mate I used an iPhone and Android with my $50 bluetooth one from Jaycar, it's just the settimgs on the phone and app that need configuring.
