Description by Daaren Fonloil(from Google Play)
Use this app to identify the real ELM327 version you have, because a lot of China clone adapters often declare a wrong ELM327 compatibility.
ELM327 Identifier sends almost all AT commands available and shows what are supported in accordance with the ELM327 official datasheet (up to firmware v2.2 and v2.3 experimental), so you can quickly check if the adapter declaration is correct or if it's a fake adapter. Some AT command requires a car connection with specific protocol to work; to obtain comparable results, these commands aren't checked by the app. The number of AT commands checked are 114.
HOW TO USE THE APP 1 - power on the ELM327 adapter (by the car diagnostic interface or simply by a power supply) 2 - if not already done, pair the ELM327 adapter from the android device bluetooth settings or connect ELM327 wifi with the android device 3 - start the app and press CONNECT button, select the connection type and eventually select the paired ELM327 adapter 4 - after the correct connection, the scan automatically starts 5 - wait for the end of the scan and check the results on screen, a white bar shows you what commands (above) should be supported 6 - press RESULTS to show scanning details and optionally save results into the internal SD card. 7 - optionally press RESCAN button if you want to verify again the adapter
IMPORTANT: a fake adapter doesn't mean that it will not work with your applications.

Really useful tool when you're going to buy a cheap LM327 replica, and be sure that you have bought a compatible device. Credits to the author!

This app says my adapter isn't compatible with all elm327 commands ot something like that. What adapter do I need, or What do I change in settings? Torque works but Biscay won't works for my LWN colorado
★★★★★Mr. D· Dec 19, 2019
Very easy to use and accurate detection of OBD device. Quick connection and report. Does what's advertised.
★★★★★Sylvain Lauzon (Lost06)· Mar 11, 2024
I never wrote a comment on this before. I can say the tool is useful to compare adapters, and it sticks to real version numbers from Elm. The last update from January 2024 made the vlinker mc+ up to 2.3 as the iCar also.

May just be my stn1170 obd reader but beware running it thr 2nd time bricked it. No long respond to the init atz command error. :(Emailed developer and hope he can advise)
★☆☆☆☆Richard Cepas· Aug 27, 2026
A quick flash with truncated notification telling device is unknown. What is the point of it?
★★☆☆☆Michael Horne· Apr 7, 2021
Might have a bad reader but never would connect.
★☆☆☆☆James Exploring Online· Mar 31, 2019
Fairly reliable then previously. Tested 5 Bluetooth devices read correctly, however Wi-Fi it got two correct and 4 known and working brands came back as unconnected, another app proved all to be ok. will look at this app in a few weeks and will update my results. But hey they trie, and it's a good free app for testing, just unreliable
