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 counterfeit devices. The app checks 114 AT commands, excluding those requiring a vehicle 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 on screen. 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:
- Authentic ELM327 Version Identification: Accurately identifies the true ELM327 version, crucial because many Chinese clones misrepresent their compatibility.
- Supported AT Command Information: ELM327 Identifier sends almost all available AT commands and displays which are supported based on the official ELM327 datasheet, quickly verifying adapter authenticity.
- Broad ELM327 Firmware Version Support: Supports firmware versions up to v2 and experimental versions, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of ELM327 devices.
- Rapid Adapter Compatibility Check: Quickly checks adapter claims by sending AT commands. Note that commands requiring a vehicle connection with a specific protocol are excluded for consistent results.
- Comprehensive Scan Results and Details: After connection, the app automatically scans and displays results. A visual indicator highlights expected supported commands. Detailed results are accessible via the "RESULTS" button, with saving to the internal SD card available.
- Repeat Scan Capability: The "RESCAN" button allows for repeated verification of the adapter.
It's important to remember that a counterfeit adapter may still function with some applications. Users can contribute translations of the app's strings by contacting the developer via email.
