That doesn't "speak" OBD-II. That only became mandatory for petrol cars outside the USA in 2001.

Well it has the socket to plug the device in. I will try on my parents car later just to see if it is my car or the OBD scanner.

Yes, a lot of them do. That doesn't necessarily mean that there is an OBD-II implementation behind it.

Unfortunately just because it fits doesn't mean it'll work, think CDs and DVDs, same size and will fit in the same places, but won't always work. I've tried my 1 in a few different cars with no problems, but they've all been newer than 2004

Has anyone successfully used this on a Japanese import? Ive connected mine upto my Ford Focus and it will display codes and realtime info. When I connect it to my Subaru it says it is connected to the ecu and says there are no faults but it shows no realtime info. I dont know if that is because it is not suitable for the car or if it is something else.

would this enable me to turn off ABS warning light on Mondeo 07 - it came on after I parked on a path :-)

There are, but not this one. You want the ones with WiFi as opposed to Bluetooth.

You can reset the light but whether or not it comes back on is another thing. If there's an ACTUAL problem, then the light will come back on. If its a false alarm, you should be grand. I've reset a couple of friends warning lights fine. I've a 06 Focus and it works on mine so a 07 Mondeo should be compatible also.

Subject: RE: Does your app work with Bluetooth?

Hello,
The app works with WiFi ELM327 adaptor right away. For Bluetooth ELM327 device, You will need:

iPhone/iPad has restriction on Bluetooth support (Basically iPhone/iPad requires BT data device to have a special Apple authentication chip which 99% of the BT adaptors don't have). In order to use it for standard Bluetooth devices in data mode you need to jailbreak it. There is a tool in Jailbreak store to manage the Bluetooth http://www.roqy-bluetooth.net/wp/?page_id=209.

If you have jailbreak iPhone/iPad and that tool installed, you should be able to use Engine Link with the OBD II Bluetooth device.

We recommend to use WIFI version of adapter, the above steps are not needed for WIFI version.

Please let us know if there are any questions / suggestions.

Thanks and Regards,
Support Team"

Hmmmm challenge of bargain alerts buying triggers. I bought one not knowing about the android only but this is likely the route I will take to use this with iphone.
