Would it be a better diagnostician than an unqualified backyard blowhard?

it's probably a simplified domestic version of what dealers use when
they service your car and charge you $350.

(I'm getting my Lancer serviced on Tuesday. fixed price servicing $230 )

It's just an ELM 327 adapter, probably a Chinese knockoff, you can get
them for 30 bucks or less, and a phone app. There are plenty of phone
apps to choose from on Google play.

It's the apps that determine how useful the OBDII adapter ultimately is.
The free apps are too basic, some of the paid apps not much better. What
I find with the cheapie ELM327 adapters is that they have a bit of lag
and that can be off-putting on live data.

Yep. Nothing special. Not that Alvey would have any idea :)

Yeah but Alvey isn't making fake claims to be a motor mechanic either.
OTOH, *you* do that a lot, along with equally fake claims to be an auto
machinist and an aircraft mechanic (you claimed to have completed all
the TAFE college work, remember?). Oh the bullshit you utter. Then
there's that equally fake claim of you running an automotive business
for 15+ years and being a member of the VACC for 20+ years. All FAKE.

amazing that such things need to be pointed out, isn't it. Alvey isn't
claiming automotive knowledge comparable to a mechanic.

What's more, Alvey was merely *asking a question*. That little detail
seems to have been overlooked. FWIW, I use the ELM 327 adapter connected
to my iPad so I can mosey on down the road and *collect live data* and
display it on a larger screen. My Scantool has only a small screen and
does not *collect* live data as such. Horses for courses really.

In answer to the question originally posed, any OBDII adapter still
relies on the diagnostician operating it to know what they are doing.
It's that knowledge and training that Darren lacks so the ELM327 would
be nigh on useless in his hands for all save reading error codes. Once
Darren has those, he can use his trusted friend and ally, Google, to see
what those codes actually mean. Of course, having the codes, and knowing
what they mean, does not a diagnostician make. The diagnostician would
then need to test the equipment related to the codes and that is where
Darren would come sadly unstuck and, I might add, why he sticks to 50+
year old vehicles that were introduced prior to the advent of the
automotive ECU.

amazing isn't it. apart from being in the gutter, their minds operate at
such a low level, any normal communication with them is impossible, as
that maggot lindsay is proving right now.

Annnnd here's the Fraudster! As predictable as Scott Morrison bellowing
bullshit.

Anyway Fraudster, so what? I'm not making any claims and the name of this
group is aus.cars. Crikey! You don't even own a proper 'car'. Bozo.

Well, neither do you. The difference being that Alvey isn't claiming to
be a qualified mechanic.

Quickest way to get in his killfail is to point out some home truths.
