Vgate

Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0

An inexpensive Bluetooth LE adapter on our test list.

A popular low-cost adapter that uses Bluetooth LE, so it can work with iPhone apps. It’s one of the adapters in TRACK’s planned compatibility test.

05Where it stands

Tested, pending, and good to know.

Verified so far
  • Uses the same tested OBD engine as all ELM327-compatible adapters.
Still to do
  • Not yet tested with a physical unit.
Good to know
  • 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.
