Other features, such as live data, can be analyzed in a number of ways. A Dashboard provides instrument readouts. A Graph function shows plotted readouts for comparisons. A Map function helps to data log a journey to find data parameters and calculate MPG. And there’s a Performance function that calculates acceleration times. The adapter is suitable for Android, iOS and Windows. You therefore do not have to use different adapters for different operating systems, as is the case with most other providers.

The firmware is developed internally by us and can be adapted to the needs of the developer if necessary Our adapters undergo strict CE, FCC and RoHS testing and we not only have certificates, but also detailed test reports about them. When pairing the UCSI-2000 adapter via Bluetooth on an Android device, the latest smartphones will display 2 devices: "UniCarScan" and "UniCarScan iOS". To operate with the Android "UniCarScan" must be paired. The"UniCarScan iOS" connection is only for iOS powered device from Apple - iPhone and iPad and is not supported by Android apps. To use the adapter with Apple devices, no coupling is required under Settings and is not possible. Open directly the settings of the Car Scanner or BimmerCode App and select "UniCarScan iOS" Adapter. The MotoScan app for BMW motorcycles is not available for iOS devices and is currently not planned. I liked the dashboard option, which provides useful readings for engine rpm, speed, MAF pressure, battery voltage and fuel. This can be combined with freeze-frame data should a fault be logged. And the app can log a trip, calculating fuel consumption and mileage. Or live data can be displayed as a graph.All cars and car derived vans from 2001 (petrol) and from 2004 (Diesel) regardless of make and model to current year In this respect, the little bit of free time used reading/sifting through fluffy posts people who have been gracious enough to share online of their experiences in great detail, complete with links to the actual items used successfully as well as, unsuccessfully, seems like a bargain to me. This device works with several BMW-dedicated apps (Android and iOS). There are recommended apps for other makes of vehicle. Although these are generic apps, the one I tested, ScanMaster, is WGSoft’s own and worked on the Audi A3 test car. It retrieved the car’s VIN and looked for stored fault codes, but didn’t test any equipment. This car had a known parking sensor fault, but this wasn’t identified.

OBD2 became a standard connection in the US from around 1996. In Europe, it became standard on gasoline (petrol) cars from 2001 and diesels from 2004. How I tested the best Bluetooth OBD2 scanners Most light commercials i.e Renault Traffic, Transit etc will be OBD2 compliant from 2007 to current year

The developers of apps for Android, iOS and Windows are welcome to use the adapter for their own apps. We are happy to provide the necessary documentation. Most commands are compatible with the ELM327 instruction set. However, the UniCarScan adapter offers the following advantages over all other comparable solutions: All of the scanners I’m testing consist of a small plug/dongle, which communicates with a mobile phone or laptop via a Bluetooth signal. They are generally much cheaper than dedicated scanners with their own screens. Supports extensive third-party apps (compatible with OBD Fusion, Car Scanner ELM OBDII, Infocar, OBD Auto Doctor, etc), which can turn your iPhone, iPad or Android phone/tablet into a sophisticated car scan tool. The UniCarScan UCSI-2100 comes in a small, durable box that’s approximately four inches wide long, less than three inches wide and a little over one inch deep. The device is quite small, being the width of the OBDII port and a little over two inches deep. Fortunately, the sides of it are ribbed, which makes it easier to pull out of the OBDII port. This kit when used withappropriate software (Motoscan App) can be used to connect to BMW bikes to read engine data, reset service lights, perform activations etc, The included OBD interface is the recommended Unicarscan device. It is a reliable and tested compatible interface to communicate reliably with BMW bikes,

The depth of diagnostic analysis, especially using enhanced diagnostics is impressive and it found a parking sensor fault that hadn’t raised an EML. Other features in the ScanMaster app that proved useful included live data. This can help to show values such as vehicle speed, engine rpm and temperatures to help identify an overheating issue, for instance. Typical of a free app, some values are only available with a paid version. UniCarScan UCSI-211 verdict The entry-level free app is basic, but purposeful. It scans for faults and in some cases, performs an in-depth scan of several systems (e.g. audio, parking sensors and airbags). Identified faults are listed with relevant fault codes and further information to help.So how do you communicate with the ECU to find out all of this information? Simple, through a scanner or fault code reader plugged into a communication port on the car. This communication port has been standardized and is now called the OBDII port. OBD stands for on board diagnostics, and the number II means it’s the second generation. It’s usually below the driver’s side of the dashboard, but can also be in the center console area. As a better alternative, the OBDLink LX and MX adapters with Bluetooth are recommended. With current firmware (from at least 4.2.3), the adapters are guaranteed to fully support all BMW motorcycles with K-Line and CAN bus in full functionality. The UniCarScan UCSI-2100is an inexpensive OBD-2 diagnostic interface from WGSoft.de and is considered the further development of the well-knownUniCarScan UCSI-2000. The device supports all OBD-2 diagnostic protocols of all current vehicles and as a special feature also all diagnostic protocols of all BMW motorcycles. This adapter is ideal for the MotoScan app and is recommended by us directly for this Andriod app. In the Google Play Store, enter "OBD" and/or "ELM327" in the search and most apps that are found will work with the adapter. All BMW Motorrad Series are supported: C series, G series, F series, K series, R series and S series.
