ELM327 Identifier is an Android application designed to identify the genuine version of your ELM327 adapter. Many counterfeit Chinese adapters misrepresent their compatibility. This app tests nearly all available AT commands, comparing the results against the official ELM327 datasheet. This allows for quick verification of the adapter's claimed specifications and detection of fake adapters. The app checks 114 AT commands, excluding those requiring a car connection with a specific protocol. To use the app, power on your ELM327 adapter, pair it with your Android device, launch the app, and tap "CONNECT." The scan will begin automatically, displaying the results onscreen. Saved results are also an option. It's crucial to understand that a counterfeit adapter doesn't automatically mean it's unusable with your applications.
Key advantages of this software include:
- Accurate ELM327 Version Identification: The app accurately identifies your ELM327 version, correcting the often-incorrect compatibility claims of counterfeit Chinese adapters.
- Comprehensive AT Command Support Information: ELM327 Identifier sends nearly all available AT commands and indicates supported commands based on the official ELM327 datasheet, quickly verifying adapter authenticity.
- Broad ELM327 Firmware Version Compatibility: The app supports firmware versions up to v2 and experimental versions, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of ELM327 devices.
- Rapid Adapter Compatibility Check: The app efficiently checks adapter claims by sending AT commands. Note that commands requiring a car connection with a specific protocol are excluded for consistent results.
- Clear Scan Results and Details: After connection, the app automatically scans and displays results. A visual indicator (white bar) highlights expected supported commands. Users can access detailed scan results via the "RESULTS" button and save them to the device's internal SD card.
- Repeat Scan Functionality: The "RESCAN" button allows users to re-verify the adapter at any time.
It's important to reiterate that a counterfeit adapter may still function with your applications. Users can contact the developer via email to contribute translations of the app's text into their native language.
