About ELM327 Identifier
Use this app to identify the real ELM327 version you have, because a lot of China clone adapters often declare a wrong ELM327 compatibility.
ELM327 Identifier sends almost all AT commands available and shows what are supported in accordance with the ELM327 official datasheet (up to firmware v2.2), so you can quickly check if the adapter declaration is correct or if it's a fake adapter.
Some AT command requires a car connection with specific protocol to work; to obtain comparable results, these commands aren't checked by the app. The number of AT commands checked are 103.
HOW TO USE THE APP
1 - power on the ELM327 adapter (by the car diagnostic interface or simply by a power supply)
2 - if not already done, pair the ELM327 adapter from the android device bluetooth settings or connect ELM327 wifi with the android device
3 - start the app and press CONNECT button, select the connection type and eventually select the paired ELM327 adapter
4 - after the correct connection, the scan automatically starts
5 - wait for the end of the scan and check the results on screen, a white bar shows you what commands (above) should be supported
6 - press RESULTS to show scanning details and optionally save results into the internal SD card.
7 - optionally press RESCAN button if you want to verify again the adapter
IMPORTANT: a fake adapter doesn't mean that it will not work with your applications.
If you are interested in translating the strings of the app in your language, send me an email and I'll give you the strings set to translate.

If the results are accurate, and I've no reason to doubt they're not, then this app is great and serves a valuable purpose.

Checked out my "v2.1" device that I got from eBay and it didn't support 43 of 103 ELM327 commands. Just received what was reported to be a legitimate v2.2 device and the app confirmed that it supports all current ELM327 commands. Makes me feel better about spending the money on the legitimate adapter.

Great app worked like a charm. My Amazon purchased ELM327 says v1.5 and since ELM never made a v.1.5, this app reads it correctly as a v.1.4

Very useful to help me realise my cheap Chinese clone supported very few commands and showed me just how many commands my replacement OBDLink MX supported!

Perfect app to know who is who and what it does related to ELM327 scanners. Maybe extending the list of tested commands would be possible in the future. Great work.

Mi-a găsit exact ceea ce aveam. Deși vânzătorul zicea că e 2.1 era doar 1.5 exact așa cum e scris și pe PCB dacă desfăceai carcasa.

This app proved to me that I had a perfect V1.4 which I already knew, and I also had a low quality V1.x which was trying to pass itself of as a V2.1...

Helped confirm what I suspected, that my adapter is rubbish! Use this before attempting to use any other OBD scanner to save loads of hassle
