ELM327 Identifier is an app designed to help you identify the true version of your ELM327 adapter. Many Chinese clone adapters often misrepresent their compatibility. This app sends nearly all available AT commands and displays which ones are supported according to the official ELM327 datasheet, enabling you to quickly determine if the adapter's claimed compatibility is accurate or if it's a counterfeit. The app checks 114 AT commands, excluding those that require 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 press the "CONNECT" button. The scan will begin automatically, and the results will be displayed on your screen. You can also save the results if desired. It's important to note that a fake adapter doesn't necessarily mean it won't work with your applications.
Here are some of the advantages of using this software:
- Identifies the real ELM327 version: The app helps users determine the actual version of their ELM327, as many Chinese clone adapters often declare incorrect compatibility.
- Provides information on supported AT commands: The ELM327 Identifier app sends nearly all available AT commands and shows which commands are supported based on the official ELM327 datasheet. This helps users quickly verify if the adapter's declaration is accurate or if it is a fake adapter.
- Covers a wide range of ELM327 firmware versions: The app supports firmware versions up to v-2 and experimental v--, ensuring compatibility with various ELM327 devices.
- Quick checking of adapter compatibility: By sending AT commands, the app checks if the adapter's declaration is accurate or if it is a fake adapter. However, some AT commands that require a car connection with a specific protocol are not checked to obtain comparable results.
- Provides scan results and scanning details: After establishing the correct connection, the app automatically starts scanning and displays the results on screen. A white bar indicates which commands should be supported. Users can also press the "RESULTS" button to view scanning details and optionally save results into the internal SD card.
- Allows re-verifying the adapter: Users have the option to press the "RESCAN" button if they want to verify the adapter again.
It's important to remember that a fake adapter doesn't necessarily mean it won't work with your applications. Users can also translate the app's strings into their own language by contacting the developer via email.
