Not sure what you mean by "support sheet".Dearns wrote:Hi, thanks for all the advice Turbo3. However, do you have any idea why the LeafSpy Pro support sheet recommends a WiFi adaptor over a Bluetooth, yet the James Pollock article recommends the converse? Thanks again
Thanks, useful feedback.donyjunk wrote:I'm happy with my setup. iOS 9.2.1, LS Pro 1.2.10, adapter is "OBD2,Onshowy Super Mini WIFI OBD II Car Scanner Tool With Power Switch"
veepeak has one too that looks identical, same price, probably works the same.
Unless you are running on an iPhone 4 or an iPad 2 which does not support Bluetooth 4.x LE I see no reason to use a Wifi OBDII adapter when a Bluetooth 4.x LE adapter is so much better and supported by Apple. Whereas WiFi OBDII adapters are not really support by Apple and Apple is slowly limiting the use of WiFi for anything but network connection (beta iOS 9 originally blocked an app from even seeing the network SSID so LeafSpy could not even tell if there was a WiFi OBDII adapter). Background running, which worked in the past, is no longer supported on the newer iOS. You also need to manually select the OBDII adapter WiFi network each time you start LeafSpy. Much higher power operation compared to Bluetooth 4.x LE.macnut wrote:Thanks, useful feedback.donyjunk wrote:I'm happy with my setup. iOS 9.2.1, LS Pro 1.2.10, adapter is "OBD2,Onshowy Super Mini WIFI OBD II Car Scanner Tool With Power Switch"

This one I'm considering from Vastm looks identical too.

(The Onshowy one not available via Amazon to Canada but the Vastm is. No reviews on it so not overly eager to spend time seeing if it is a dependable product.)

Now that Bluetooth 4.x LE OBDII adapters are available and iOS supports them they are the recommend OBDII adapter, specifically the LELink. Bluetooth 4.x LE does not need the pairing step which allows the iOS version of LeafSpy Pro to automatically connect when the app is run.
I've experienced the "4.x" requirement using the HM-10 bluetooth/arduino module for iphone app communications (rather than the HC-05). What other determinants are there for LeafSpy link up?Turbo3 wrote: Now that Bluetooth 4.x LE OBDII adapters are available and iOS supports them they are the recommend OBDII adapter, specifically the LELink.
