Has anyone in the USA used this product? Cardoc?
It retails I see for about 30 USD, and connects to any smart phone once plugged into the vehicle ODB.

They claim one can even reset codes directly from the smart phone once you have down loaded the app?

Sounds to good to be true IMO but if one can then its tool worth having ?

 

You can buy a Bluetooth ELM/OBD II adapter on eBay for less than $5; download and pair it to Torque Lite, a free Android/iOS app, and off you go.

Torque Lite features include (there is also a Pro version for $5 if you want even more features):

* Shows and Resets engine fault codes / DTC trouble codes stored in your car

* Can export map/track log files to Google Earth KML / CSV

* Engine performance data(0 to 60, 0-100, quarter mile, etc) (full version)

* Head up Display / GPS HUD mode perfect for checking your speed at night

* Data Logging functions including web upload and file logging, you can even upload data to your own web server from sensors you choose

* Customisable dashboard with theme support - setup the dashboard with the gauges and dials that you want

* Can help you fix your car and helps keep car repair costs down!

* Turbo Boost gauge support for VW vehicles (in Pro version only)

* MPG for Petrol/Gasoline vehicles. (Pro version has diesel support)

 

Can Torque clear codes as well?
Do you have a link for an eBay BT OBDII dongle what works?

 

"Torque Lite features include (there is also a Pro version for $5 if you want even more features):

Sorry, but I can't recommend any particular dongle. The one I have is not listed any more.

 

It will only do engine codes. If you want to diagnose or reset faults/warning lights in any other systems like abs, airbags etc i have used this kit and does really well.

I initially bought it for a check engine emission system warning but that turned out to be a glitch in the ecu and wasnt really a fault.

There are lots of cheapo dongles on the market but my experience is that they don't do any deep diagnosis. They just touch the surface.

Cheers.

 

I'm sure for $200 more you get lots more capabilities (you certainly should).

For the record, with a cheapie dongle plus Torque Lite, I was able to reset the Check Engine "Emission System Service Required" code.

 

I got the OBDLink MX (Bluetooth version) they have a free Android and Windows app, it works great. I believe I picked it up from Amazon
