Description of the elm 327 scanner
OBD-2 scanners based on the ELM327 are well known to foreign users and have gained their excellent reputation due to their reliability and versatility.
Thanks to these qualities, many developers of diagnostic software release their programs for scanners of this type. There are many programs on the Internet with different functionality, interfaces and language support. Among them there are both commercial products and free versions. OBD-II software for the ELM327 is mostly free and allows you to diagnose vehicles that support one or more of the ODBII . The software for this adapter supports the following platforms:
- DOS
- Windows
- macOS
- linux
- Palm OS
- PocketPC
It would not be an exaggeration to say that among all OBD-II scanners, ELM327 is the leader in establishing a connection with the car's ECU. Where other scanners fail, the ELM327 does its job perfectly.

The diagnostic capabilities of the device directly depend on the software used. In most cases, this is a diagnosis of the engine and transmission of a car, however, there are commercial programs that support additional protocols from car manufacturers and allow you to work with other car blocks.

ELM327 is a microcontroller, and in order to reduce the cost of scanner production, some manufacturers of diagnostic equipment (mainly Chinese) release ELM327 processors with a copy of the software of the original elm327 processor. Such savings do not affect the quality of the connection and the reliability of the device as a whole, since a copy of the elm327 microcontroller firmware is used, included according to the standard scheme recommended by the elm327 chip manufacturer. In the scanner we offer, made according to the scheme recommended by the manufacturer, an ELM327 v 2.1 .
