| ![]() Could anyone please help sort that issue? Is it an issue with the Baud rate of the Serial port? AFAIK the device is supposed to run at 9600bps. However, the Scanmaster SW sets it at 38400bps, which I am not able to manually change. Is this a reason for the communication error? As said by Anandtheleo, it is quite random. Once, I could log for more than ten minutes, whereas another run lasted until I cranked the car and the software crashed. I wanted to do some continuous long runs but if this happens I will have to take the passenger seat and ensure the SW does not hang. Which is the device you got? It needs some fiddling and good SW to run well. I got accurate readings only with Scanmaster. Most of the other software I tried had various issues, right from connection to getting the right readings. Hence, I think you can fiddle around with software as well as settings to make it working. |

![]() Moreover, this specific product I saw, I called up the seller to confirm about its compatibility. He was positive about the K10 engines. Hence I immediately ordered without looking for alternatives. What protocol are you using to connect to your A-Star? I believe if it works with my WagonR, it should work with the A-Star too. The wagonR was advertised as OBD compliant only recently, with the front facelift. Mine is the model previously sold. Hence as per Maruti logic it is not OBD compliant. Still it works. Even the SX4 was advertised as OBD compliant with the BS4 version. Mine is again prior to that but no good. Perhaps, in a short while I will go for a bluetooth version, which is much cheaper to buy too ![]() | |

![]() Also, one thing I noticed is, the connection is more unstable with the Scanmaster and more stable with ProScan version 5. | |

Also, when I connected it via ProScan, it gave wierd readings, and they were fluctuating like anything. Not sure if the connection was stable or not. Tried tweaking settings, but still the readings were not proper. I am very happy with ScanMaster, except for this crash bug. Anyways its just two days since I got the product, and there is a long way to go, at least for me ![]() ![]() Its holidays and I have got just the right past time - Learning more about all this. Helps me academically also as I am from the ECE background. | |

One thing I fail to understand is that isn't all vehicles from Maruti be on the same ECU protocol and working? Why the difference or it is because the SX4 is the older model? Has anyone tried this in the New SX4 and Swift DDiS models? Anurag. | |

| ![]() I also tried it on my Beat diesel using Torq pro on my android phone, it works perfectly. Maruti used their propreitary protocol on prior 2009 models of Swift and SX4 so OBD2 scan does not work on old model. |

Tried the same tool with i20 Diesel (2012 -6Speed) - It works. ![]() and Pin configuration of Vgate scan tool (http://www.ebay.in/itm/231029761627?...84.m1497.l2649) ? http://rhinopower.activeboard.com/t4...hich-protocol/ In Swift i have experienced malfuntion of Autocop with this tool connected (It starts alarming in lock position). -Mohan Last edited by mobike008 : 20th August 2013 at 12:37.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Before getting one of these ELM 327 for my Toyota Fortuner I had a quick google lookup, and surprisingly there are reports that Fortuner does not seem to be OBD-II compliant. Though a few pages ago I see a post "... Toyota - all ..." as compliant, a few threads elsewhere suggests it uses KWP2000/M-OBD and hence instead of a cheapo ELM, we need a more sophisticated & expensive reader (only affordable by service stations) to read the readings. A little more googling finds EFI scan, but that's $142 and obviously not justified as just for fun project. |

I have a problem with it. When I try to pair it using bluetooth settings and password 1234 just before starting the engine, it pairs the device. But when I start torque, it again asks for the password and any password I enter, it just cant connect. Can someone help me on this. Im using Xperia Go Android. EDIT - I tried on Etios Diesel and Optra Diesel Last edited by benzinblut : 22nd September 2013 at 09:56. | |
