1 Introduction

OBDScope is a vehicle On-Board diagnostics software for

S60 smartphones. The software uses Bluetooth to connect to

an OBD-II interface which is connected to a vehicle. The

software then uses the OBD-II interface to access the data

available on the ECU of the vehicle. The data can be

monitored in real-time or it can be logged to a file for further

analysis.

Warning:

Never use OBDScope while driving!

moving vehicle. If you need to monitor sensor information

while driving, it is strongly recommended that you have a

passenger, use OBDScope's Data logging feature so that you
