I think I have an ELM OBDII bluetooth tester somewhere, but is there a recommended APP that can work with them? 850 OBD-II by Xiaotec. There is more information on 850 OBD-II in the VIDA, VADIS, DiCE form. Xiaotec is MVS member Xanthefin . Xiaotec 850 OBD-II is based on work done by Richard H. Jone...
