- Problem with ELM327 Mini Bluetooth OBDII which gets paired but doesn't connect to Torque app in any of 3 cellphones. The car I'm trying to scan is a Jeep Liberty 2005. I've already tried to use it in a 2001 Chevy Metro, 2006 Ford Focus and a 2003 Mazda Protégé with same results.
Carlos...I bought 3 of these adapters for my two vehicles. Left one in each car and had the other in my garage for a spare. Same exact problem you're having with one important difference. One adapter did not work right out of the starting gate Drove me nuts because I thought I was doing something wrong. After about an hour of wasted time back pains and hair pulling I tried another one Guess what..It worked fine. Got my readouts and even did some mapping. Well...I guess I got a bad one shit happens! Then just yesterday Since I've been having gas cap problems turning on the light I plugged it back in after not using it for 6 months.. Same crap The damn thing just went bad no warning no use just went bad! It pairs but won't connect. That makes two now. Went to the garage put on that adapter. Worked fine! Looks like these things aren't built very well with a high failure rate. Try another one chances are it will work. It also should ask for a code which is either 1,2,3,4 or 0,0,0,0. If it doesn't ask It's probably a bad one.. Bottom line the're just built very cheaply and fail alot. They are cheaply made devices that fail for no reason..! e-bay sellers know this and if you contact them will 9 times out of ten send you another one. I don't think you can fix them so...just try getting another one. When it works it's a useful gadget. Don't let it drive you crazy, it's not our fault. They should be ashamed of themselves selling junk like that!
Same I'm on my 3rd one. 1st didn't work even came with da CD*. 2nd one work perfectly no instructions no CD. Weel 3rd busted
Thanks guys its great we all get quick response back to help each other out. I am just thinking is the problem coming from my civic. I can see it's reaching and try to connect but couldn't find the protocol
My Hondas nor Scion will connect...
Just FYI, it's not necessarily the protocols, like some people keep yapping about. I have a $5 OBD BT adapter that looks just like the one in the video. It worked fine and cleared recurring error code a few different times... until it stopped connecting to ECU for no apparent reason. Still works in other car, but not the one with the error code.
exactly what happened to me. I don't get it.
i had this problem only with my samsung phone how i solved the issue was unpair all other devices on your phone and only leave the elm 327 paired this worked for me
What was issue ecu not connected or device mine one connected to device but give error ecu not connected my toyota corolla 2004 1.6
Same problem with a Goliton Power2. Noticed the following after pairing done:
1. the obd2 device has a timeout seems to stop transmitting after a short time and then rtries. Seems the best thing to do is to open the app first and then connect the obd2 to the car
2. at this point it starts communicating but says it connecting with CAN ISO protocol etc.
3. when finished it may say unable to connect to ECU
Not this particular model, but mine had same problem. One suggested fix was to force quit and restart torque (simply shutting the program will not work). Doing this TWICE worked for me.
Should add that it was a different car too so may not work on this one.
There are more reason for the connection failure but the most obvious is that the bluetooth until now can handle only 1 connection. So if there is something in the surround that use bluetooth i.e. phone headset, speakerset, smartwatch etc. that can hinder in connecting to obdii.
+Les OO On my case, I was testing it in the driveway with no other gadgets around (other than the camera I was using to record the video) so, pretty much it was the little blue ELM327 that didn't want to work properly. :(
+Les OO You rock!
Suggestion: the car handsfree bluetooth paired connection. Solution for that: unpair your other car bluetooth connetcion. In my case that is not the issue since the car with the OBD adapter does not have bluetooth handsfree kit. Thanks anyway.
I have used most resources damnn won't connect to any Obds. I end up using usb vag cable from vcds. It works😀
I had the same problem. Solved for me by using old Android (version 4.4) phone. Try it.
From all researches, I fell it works for someone and not for others is the reason that this device only works for cars manufactured after Jan 2013. For cars manufactured before that, it power the obd, however it can't connect to the ecu...
This experience I came to know cause I've cars before and after those mentioned years....
Works on my 2003 Accord
For the record, I want to say something about this. I have the exact model elm327 Bluetooth shown in the video. It connects fine without any issues on my 2011 Infiniti G37. However, when I connect it to my 1999 Ford Explorer, it pairs with Bluetooth but it won't connect to torque. Might refer that something has to do with the protocol on the car not talking to torque correctly. Not sure what it could be.
I faced too dat problem Subaru Impreza 2006 WRX. But my friends Nissan Liberty 2002 working fine. Am bought too Creader 3001. It's workings fine again my friends car but mine no. I wondering what happen?
have same problem with 97s10 chevy but will work in acura cl. so the elm327 has no way to work with my truck? or do i n÷ed to set something in settings
Sadly it might be because that particular ELM can't "talk" to the ECM of your Chevy. But at least you can get codes from your Acura. Mine couldn't work at all.
Dude once you pair it, you have to un Plug the obd2 and plug it back in and then unpair it, then pair it again, had the same issue as well
Duude! Worked perfectly. All i had to do was filter thru all the other cap and read your comment! Cheers from NZ
Hi mate, what was the brand of your OBD2? I got a cheap one that doesn't connect. Cheers from Auckland ;)
My Device is showing all lights ON( Red, Green and Blue) and not connecting to ECU. Earlier only red light use to be on and other lights on when Bluetooth and ECU got connected. But now all the lights are ON withotut connection. Looks to me some fault in device now.
Hi Carlos,
I'm having the exact same problem as you. What was the resolution for you if any? Was it just a faulty unit?
Vincent Hii Sorry to answer you till today and yes it was a faulty unit so I pretty much get a deal with the seller (he refund the money I paid for it).
Thanks, I also ended up with a refund due to faulty unit. I bought from a different seller which had an on off button on the elm327 mini and it worked fine for Australian accord euro 2005. It didn't work on my other Honda crv 2002 which I found out is because it wasn't odb2 compliant required back then for Australia even though it had the odb2 connector.
I had the same problem but i got mine to work. in torgue go to settings > OBD2 Adapter Settings > Connection Type (select bluetooth) | > Choose Bluetooth Device > Select OBD2. It should work.
Thanks man! I finally got it working :).
You are my Hero ;)
Alphonso Henry dude you just solved my issue. I am going to buy a civic today and wanted this to check the code.
Alphonso Henry its still not working he is not responding
Bingo. You sir are a steely eyed missile man.
Some cars you gotta go to settings, OBD2 Adapter Settings, Choose Bluetooth Device, and check the box for the one you got plugged in. Then any reader works just fine.
This thing was breaking my mind all day long, Speedbot was working as it should but Torque Pro wasn't.. After reading your post.., wow, it is working now).
Thanks mate :)
ok
Apparently all these "mini" obd adapters are pure crap, ordered 2 different ones already and neither one worked, this exact one being the other one.
Clones....cheap imitation
I have the hhobd advanced adapter from wish and it doesn't want connect at all with the torque app
I bought one of these exact model and it worked fine for about 2 years. I lost that one and replaced it with a new one exact same thing. It doesn't work.
What type of firmware? 1.5 or 2.1?
There are like 12+ different communication protocols for ECUs. Those small elm mini can only handle 2 or 3 max. Depends on for where it was designed. Most of them are made for European market. That Elm works - just not with your car. I recommend to get more expensive unit that has all protocols.
Good point but in definitive it was the little ELM OBD2 that failed to connect with my phones via Bluetooth. I just bought a regular scanner from a popular brand and it worked as supposed. Thanks though for your info! =)

Here is quick description of protocols www.obdtester.com/obd2_protocols
WHere did you find the supported car list?
WOuld like to know the list for EODB(Europe ODB)
Mine used to connect no problem and didn’t disconnect. Now it’s the same as the video or it connects for a couple seconds at a time.(I drive a 2002 e46)
I have obd2 the black one was working perfectly more than 5 years ...but when I used it last time ..I forget it a connect with the car and switch on for long time ..then I get same problem
I thing its need to reprogramming again
Mine connects to Torque lite and works okay, but will not connect and work with Torque Pro. Any ideas?
+David fletcher Unistall both (Torque lite & Torque Pro) and install them again. If problem persists then back up and reset phone.
+Carlos Santos Thanks for the reply Carlos. I went through the adaptor settings on torque Pro and set up my car profile. All okay now. Didn't have to do this on Torque Lite.
Same problem here,it's all about the cars protocol,no matter if the device is cheap or expensive if does not compatible with your ECU you can not do anything.
Read the description of some HUD or On board Computer for example which are connected with ELM327 or with cable with your OBDII port:
Attention:
This OBD2 Car HUD are not compatible with following cars:
- European and American cars manufactured before 2004 and Asian cars manufactured before 2008.
- American cars produced before 2004 and all Dodge, JEEP, Sail, Chrysler cars.
- France cars manufactured by FAT,DS,PEUGEOT,Citroen,Renault,Simka, Amirka
- Japanese cars: Suzuki, Mazda, Infiniti (QX50, Q50, Q501), Toyota avanza 2013,
Lexus (is250, ex250, ES300H), Honda (jazz, CRV) are not compatible.
And all Japanese cars before 2008 are not compatiable.
- Some models of Kia and Hyundai cannot use this OBD2 HUD (2013 Hyundai Sonata, 2017 Kia Soul PS, etc.)
- Oil-electric hybrid and some diesel vehicles cannot use OBD2 HUD, GPS HUD are recommended.
- Pickup Trucks and Modified ECU vehicles are not suitable for this HUD.
I bought an expensive device and never manage to make it work so no Torque etc on my cell phone,sad but true guys...
I had a similar problem, The wifi device i had is printed with OBD2 but another app showed it as being an Elm device instead
OBD2 is the car's protocol. ELM327 is the chip that understands this protocol and interprets it (sometimes!).
I have some problem. I have a VW Golf 3 engine 1.6 8v 75HP and I bought an ELM 327 mini, but doesn t connect to Torque pro. or my phone. I tried : reconnect, annother phone and change settings but this shit doesn t work!!! What can I do ??!
I just got mine and installed it on my laptop . Plugged the Elm327 Mini in my 04 Trailblazer. Laptop connects to the ODBII device, but will not connect to the ECU. This is the OBDII Mine Elm327 v2.1 that i have. If anyone knows what i am doing wrong i would love you advice. Please Help!
You are pairing the device in the phone but please check in the settings of the (torque mini) application and select manually the device in the application.
Did you find a fix? I don't care you have the same problem I'm having...
I bought one of these things around 2015, would connect to the app On my phone / tablet, but not any of the three vehicles I tried, which were: 2001 Ford Ranger, 1995 Lincoln Town Car, 2003 Chevy Malibu. I got a refund and bought a used Innova 3140 which worked fine and still use it. I liked the idea of the Bluetooth adapter, but didn’t trust buying another one. I just seen the one in a box in the basement and thought I’d look connection issues. The seller didn’t want it back and just refunded.
i have the same unit it worked only once, it pairs via wifi no problem but will not connect to ecu, tried it on 2 cars same thing the unit is a pile of crap, why work once then fail
I have same problem can contact to bluetooh but can't connect to ECU
The car proton wira 1.5
Please someone help me mine was not connecting in the ecu of my mitsubishi lancer 2009 model please help thank you
i bought 2 of those EXACT same adapters. the first works in my 02 Kia but the 2nd adapter wont connect to the ecu in a 98 explorer. it connects to the phone via bluetooth but no communication to pcm. i will try the other adapter. the working unit randomly disconnects.
i am using a Galaxy S4. i have heard of Bluetooth issues with these. i am going to attempt the "fixes".
+Jack Karie , try with an older Phone, it might work.
+Carlos Santos Thanks. i will give that a try.
Carlos, have you bought another OBD2 unit and had it work? I haven't gotten around to trying an older version of Android on another phone. i'm not sure where the incompatibility exists but my USB elm327 adapter has never had an issue and works 100% of the time with my laptop. There is an underlying issue that is either the software, phone hardware, or the Android 5.xx.
I've been fairly disappointed with the ELM327 adapters and the software supported on all operating systems. The software seems very old, has bad support, or is poorly made. I am considering buying one of the units with the "box" so that I can also test electrical components timing like cam and crank sensor corrolation.
the device was working good....after updated my android system dosn't connect to ecu
I have the same problem. I tried in my 96 Mazda Protegé and 96 Grand Cherokee and it doesn't work.
96s car not supported OBD2
so mine worked on my 03 audi a4 but doesnt work with my 02 gmc envoy... any suggestions?
Me too doesn't connect on audi a4 model 2005 but it connected successfully on dodge charger model 2010
I have a wifi device that is running perfectly with my Opel Astra j but i can't connect it with my Chevrolet Matiz... I don't understand why :(
I have a different device that worked fine on 2 of my cars but not on my 2004 Chevy diesel truck, which naturally is the one which has the issues.
so im told this only works for android 4.0-4.3?
It's got to try to work with older protocols that you only find in older cellphones...
+calinsantos oh gotcha' there you have it folks
I think you may be correct. Mine worked fine on my 2007 Envoy and a couple other vehicles including my 2012 Camaro when I had my Samsung Galaxy S3. I now have a 2005 Escalade and a Galaxy S6 and it doesn't work.
Mine works fine on Jelly Bean but fails on kitkat and beyond.
The reason is its MAC address (one can see it while connecting and searching for the device, so the adapter’s name will be detected and its MAC address).
If the MAC address of your adapter starts with the numbers 66:35:56: ... (for example, 66: 35: 56: 78: 90: AB) - be prepared that this adapter will fail to connect, and what's more, they can cause problems with your car.
that's really interesting. Thanks for the tip. I'll check the MAC address of the ELM327 with a laptop capable Bluetooth. Thanks again.
How to find out adappter MAC address?
+Дмитрий Исаков I haven't had the time to check it. but it's go to be a way to see which MAC address belongs to the little scanner through a Bluetooth enabled laptop.
Had the exact same problem with my Samsung S7,tried all ways to connect it without any success.Tried iPhone,iPad and iPad Pro and it connects instantly to them all.
same problem here....no ecu connection on suzuki carry :(
the same issue "No ECU" with Nissan Sunny 2004
MOhanad humaid did you solved id??
I know your problem it's your phone try different one it will always work with different phone when it does not work with yours
I actually tried with 3 different phones and didn't work... Latest phones just don't connect because bluetooth protocol in this particular ELM unit is too old. :(
Carlos Santos it worked with my phones but then it stopped
I had the same problem and found one that works. Please see this post. www.jeepkj.com/forum/f196/obd-ii-bluetooth-adapter-57791/index2.html#post654634
just spend $110 on ebay and buy a real scanner these don't connect to the app... the $15 one i bought connected to the toque lite but when my phone updated and i deleted the app it stopped working... i bought the $5 torque app ... these devices are a gimmick they don't work!
This phone does not have a bluetooth serial protocol. It's not a obd2 adapter problem.
dude have you solved it already?
Tomass D. If the question was directed to me the answer is no. I got a faulty ELM unit. bad right out of the bag... :(
I have the same problem, but at least i paid 4 dollars for it.
yo también espere mas de un mes para que llegue ese adaptador, intente usarlo en una jeep 2005 y no conecta a la ecu. grrrrrrrrr
Pregunta: pero al menos logra conectar/emparejar el adaptardor con su telefono movil via bluetooth???
well I know it work on my phone because it work in my 300c just not in my Honda. which I cant understand
Mitch I am having the same problem I have a 99 civic and it won't connect to the ecu
There is also a problem with Samsung phones and bluetooth for ELM
I had the same problem but i got mine to work. in torgue go to settings > OBD2 Adapter Settings > Connection Type (select bluetooth) | > Choose Bluetooth Device > Select OBD2. It should work.
yup, tried that, still didn't work. Torque gave a warning message about Samsung and Pandora app. I removed Pandora, which I don't use, but it still didn't work.
is not working
anyone found a fix?
dang , I have the exact same car and problem, wtf
This video makes me sad :(
Try with a new elm327 it's broken.
FOUND THE SOLUTION,,, so you use torque the app,, and then if u cant connect it Is because your obd2 is loose and have to hold it a certain angle not use let it hang, you have to hold it with your hands and scan it
The first eight minutes of this movie is what you have done yourself for a couple of weeks now: trying to connect which fails.. You came here to look for the solution bc the title of the movie kinda suggested you this and you were looking for that. Why make this movie anyway? It is not in the first eight minutes! (you =all the visitors of this video) don't know about the rest of the video. But check for the commands below. Looks after 13 minutes the answer is: dont buy the cheap version from china. There's no solution here. Next video about this topic.
These things are garbage. Mine doesn't work either.
For one you need the car running
I have the same problems
Try to get a refund because the connection problem must be caused by a bad unit.
and I tried two devices, the problem is compatibility with the ECU, the protocol is correct but does not read it. Seems not compatible with Suzuki
ivanfdocm At least did you get it pair with your cellphone? and also did you tried with other vehicles because I tried mine with 3 (Jeep Liberty 2005, Chevy Metro 2001, Ford Focus 2006, Mazda protégé 2003) and didn't work :(
Yes, I got it pair with my cellphone, but I tried with two obd2 and none worked, researching, it doesn't support all cars with OBD2 and CAN protocol because they each have an encrypted different.
Also, I discovered that an error in the protocol, bluetooth is turned off and disconnected.
I hope you understand me because I don't know much English.
scratch my last
Dont buy. Its a scam.
i have the same problem as you do. its probably fake, just like mine which had a mac address of [00:00:00:00:00:01]. i bought it from www.lazada.com.ph/car-auto-mini-v15-interface-bluetooth-obd2-ii-diagnostic-interface-scanner-1455361.html from found out that these guys had same issues too: www.incardoc.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=84#post252
+benjo gwapo, I bought mine from Ebay. Needles to say it never worked. The good thing is that I got it really cheap so it was not even worth to try getting a refund... I rather use an ordinary scanner which can be as pricy as the real ELM327 but more useful and reliable for certain situations.
Solution to this problem:: ruclips.net/video/Nt_W3aZbjGs/видео.html :: make sure you can select the correct obdii device in the adapter settings of the torgue app after you have paired with it.
is not working
