ELM327-compatible Bluetooth LE adapters
Engine data from almost any road car, for the price of lunch.
Plug an adapter into the OBD-II port under your dash and TRACK adds engine data to your laps and the dash: RPM, temperatures, voltage and more, depending on what your car reports.
01What it adds to TRACK
What it adds to TRACK
- 01
Know your engine is happy
Coolant and intake temperatures on the dash, with warnings that flip to the engine page when something crosses your threshold.
- 02
RPM on your traces
See where you shift and how long you hold gears, lap after lap.
- 03
Fuel and stint planning
Fuel level where the car reports it, and fuel per lap and laps left estimated from it (labelled as estimates).
- 04
Honest per-car results
TRACK discovers what your car supports and shows you exactly which channels work, not a generic promise.
02How it connects
How it connects
- 1Plug the adapter into the OBD-II port (usually under the steering column).
- 2Turn the ignition on.
- 3In TRACK: Garage › your car › Sensors › Add OBD-II adapter, and pick it from the Bluetooth list.
- 4TRACK checks which channels your car supports and runs a live test.
03Specs that matter to TRACK
- Connection
- Bluetooth LE (services FFF0 or FFE0)
- Update rate
- About 3–6 Hz per fast channel
- What TRACK reads
- RPM, speed, coolant and intake temperature, throttle plate, battery voltage, and fuel level or oil temperature where your car reports them
- Writes to the car
- Never
04iPhone & Android
iPhone and Android
Bluetooth LE adapters only.
Android app planned. Android can also use Classic-Bluetooth adapters, which iPhone can’t.
The TRACK iPhone app is in beta. The Android app is planned.
05Where it stands
Tested, pending, and good to know.
- TRACK’s OBD engine (start-up, channel discovery, parsing, conservative polling) is tested against an adapter emulator.
- Specific adapters still need testing; results will be published per device.
- OBD-II reports engine data slowly, roughly 3–6 readings per second per channel over Bluetooth LE. Great for temperatures and RPM trends, not for millisecond analysis.
- The OBD “throttle position” is the ECU’s throttle-plate reading, not your pedal. TRACK labels it that way.
- TRACK only reads data. It never writes to your ECU and never suggests tuning.
- Classic-Bluetooth adapters can’t work on iPhone: iOS doesn’t allow apps to use Bluetooth serial. On iPhone, make sure it says Bluetooth LE or BLE. Android can use both kinds.
Prices are typical US retail, checked October 2026, and change often. TRACK doesn’t sell hardware. Product names describe compatibility only; no partnership or endorsement is implied.
