To use OBD.Maven, an OBD-2 Bluetooth or WiFi adapter is required.

This must be fully compatible with the original ELM327 chip (version min. ELM327v1.3a) and must support the protocols

CAN 11bit / 250kB and CAN 11bit / 500kB

Recommended adapters:

- VGate iCar2 Bluetooth / WiFi

- UniCarScan Bluetooth

- Scantool OBDLink MX Bluetooth

Attention: Many cheap adapters (copies / forgeries from the Asian region) indicate to be fully compatible, but are often based only on the ELM version 1.0, are poorly processed and do not even support the full command set of ELM version 1.0. These adapters are incompatible with OBD.Maven.

Note on operation:

When a successful connection with the adapter is established, a sensor value can be selected in the sensor area by double tapping on one of the three areas.
