Classic-Bluetooth ELM327 adapters
The cheapest OBD-II adapters. Android can use them; iPhone can’t.
Many low-cost adapters use Classic Bluetooth serial rather than Bluetooth LE. iOS doesn’t allow apps to use that, but Android does, so these adapters are planned for the TRACK Android app.

04iPhone & Android
iPhone and Android
Not possible: iOS doesn’t let apps use Bluetooth serial.
Android app planned. Android apps can use Bluetooth serial, so these adapters can work there.
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 is tested against an adapter emulator.
- The Android app isn’t built yet.
- 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.
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.
