    Bluetooth/wireless OBDII code reader?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have Ross-Tech VCDS for running codes and clearing, etc, but my car is almost 100% mechanically stock with the exception of an intake and an 034 HFC. I have codes P013E and P013F popping up as a result of the HFC and no stage II. Is there a wireless solution that would make it easy for me to at least SEE what codes i'm throwing instead of hooking up VAGCOM every time? I just want to keep an eye on everything and make sure those are the only two codes i'm throwing on a daily basis? Thanks in advance.

    I use this one, and have Carista and Torque installed. They will both get faults for you.

    A Bluetooth or Wi-Fi OBDII reader.

    If you have an android device, you will most likely need a bluetooth adapter. If you have an iOS device, you will most likely need a wi-fi adapter. Amazon and ebay has plenty, just make sure you pick up the right on for your device.

    After you have the adapter, all you need is the app on your device. For android I recommend Torque Pro. For iOS I recommend OBD Fusion. There are many other options as well.

    Why not get the stg2 tune ?... It's Almost impossible to run a HFC with the programing for it.. Torque pro linked to my Bluetooth obdlx module works flawlessly... Real time gauges as well...

    you guys are awesome! I'm waiting on stage 2 because I already had to fork over $10k for a new longblock because of a faulty injector that grenaded my engine while I had stage 1 and was flagged. I don't want to tempt fate with another tune until I'm out of the new warranty.

    Might be a stupid question but how do you guys actually use your Bluetooth readers? Just for when the check light comes on or on a more regular basis?

    Are you running a spacer for the second O2 sensor? Some people swear by them eliminating the CEL.
