Communicate with your car from up to 300 feet away, wirelessly. You no longer need a laptop to access the diagnostic information ? now you can do it from the comfort of your home PC, or even an an internet tablet.

Description
ElmScan 5 Wireless uses the same proven technology behind the popular ElmScan 5 scan tool, and is backwards compatible with the host of diagnostic software written for its predecessor. The package includes everything you need, including the USB to Bluetooth adapter for your PC.

The Bluetooth module included with the scan tool is a Class 1 device, capable of line-of-sight communication at distances of up to 100 meters (300 ft), and the signal strength is sufficient to enable close range communication through walls and other obstacles.

ElmScan 5 Wireless is modular, and comes with a six foot OBD-II cable, which allows the device to be placed on the dashboard or the roof of the vehicle for best reception. When used in environments with an extremely high level of electromagnetic noise, the Bluetooth module can be unplugged, and replaced with a serial cable.
