Thread: Anyone ever used one of these scanners?

Bluetooth, palm software included.

NEW OBD 2 OBD II WIRELESS ELM Bluetooth Scanner Can Bus - eBay (item 160478427115 end time Dec-07-10 02:23:03 PST)

Was looking for an OBD2 scanner to have around, and ran into this.. Cheap as shit, and works wirelessly with palm pilots (which i have a few of around the house) and shows all kinds of data.. was thinking about picking it up to work as a code scanner and double as a nice little in car display for my temps, rpms, speed, everything.. seems too good to be true, but at $26 shipped how could I go wrong, unless it flat out does nothing at all...

Functions
+ Read diagnostic trouble codes, both generic and manufacturer-specific, and display their meaning (over 3000 generic code definitions in the database).
+ Clear trouble codes and turn off the MIL ("Check Engine" light)
+ Display current sensor data, including:
+ Engine RPM
+ Calculated Load Value
+ Coolant Temperature
+ Fuel System Status
+ Vehicle Speed
+ Short Term Fuel Trim
+ Long Term Fuel Trim
+ Intake Manifold Pressure
+ Timing Advance
+ Intake Air Temperature
+ Air Flow Rate
+ Absolute Throttle Position
+ Oxygen sensor voltages/associated short term fuel trims
+ Fuel System status
+ Fuel Pressure
+ Many others...

Looking around I am now considering this one for a bit more. Seems to have much better reviews, and an iphone app
