As the technology is getting smaller and more portable I was thinking of hooking up a ODB scanner to my 2006 V36 350GT SP skyline and outputting the values onto a iPad mini.

I am trying to figure out what would be the best ODB Scanner to use? I have been told I need a wifi unit as the Bluetooth units won't talk to Apple as they speak different language.

I had a odd warning that through net searching found out it was to do with the oil however would prefer to have a scan tool to help me with these warnings if they happen again.

If anyone could point me in the right direction of an affordable unit that would be great.

I have searched on here and basically I can see the one that you need a XP laptop for however I would like one to use with an iPad not laptop.

thanks for any suggestions.

I got a Vgate odb2 scanner that works a treat on the wife's Ford however hopeless with the skyline.

HKS OB-link works great and it'll show CEL codes and such but you won't be able to clear them and it uses android.

I think you'll have trouble to find an OBD scanner with wifi, the ones I've seen all use USB, serial or bluetooth.

I don't use apple products and I understand that the ipad is what you probably what you have laying around, but it's probably easier if you get an android device with bluetooth.

*EDIT* After I did a quick and easy google search this came up....

So a PLX kiwi device is an OBD scanner with wifi. But unsure how well it will work with the V36.

Check this out...

The OBD-II is already available, the kickstarter project is to raise money for the software.

If you have minimal coding experience you could purchase the dongle right away and try it out.

The goal is to build an Apple ios app that will..

Our goal is to implement following features in the App:

  • Loading history data stored in Freematics OBD-II Adapter
  • Illustrating collected data into more professional and fancy charts
  • Video logging in sync with data logging
  • Video replay with overlaid data
  • Lap timer
  • Car performance benchmarking and comparison
  • Re-programming / updating firmware for Freematics OBD-II Adapter

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
