For checks (and to setup friends so they can check codes etc), I have been using Elm327 bluetooth adapters (and Torque or similar). I found Bluetooth connectivity often sketchy. Saw WiFi adapter and bought one. Support OBD-II protocols: ISO15765-4 (CAN) ISO14230-4 (KWP2000) ISO9141-2 J1850 VPW J1850 PWM
Plugged in, and Android phone found and established Wifi right away.
IIRC (will check) it show up as V-Link. Will also check if it is an ad-hoc network (likely not since Android does not support ad-hoc?) or has an actual IP address (found one ad saying:
IP: 192.168.0.10 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Port: 35000
Now the questions:
1) what software can I use to access diagnostic information with the Wifi adapter? I assume Torque is strictly bluetooth based? 2) Found DashCommand, but not sure if it works with my adapter using Wifi on Android. Found that Android does not support 'ad-hoc' wirless? 3) Can I at least use the wifi OBD2 adapter for some basic diagnostic with my windows PC?
