Michbound says that his box is "ELM327" compatible, so many freebie (and shareware) apps should work just fine. There a sample list of them here:

The cd that comes w/ the device has multiple free/shareware apps on it for you to use. They can also be downloaded here: http://www.obdpros.com/obd_software.php

Have not tried it myself as we're awaiting our first OBDpro to test.

That software will work fine.

Hey Paul...emailed you as well, just anxious to get my order form as one of the beta testers. Please let me know as soon as possible.

Do you need anymore beta testers? I have 5 cars and would be glad to help you if you want to. However I want to buy one, I am considering this or the elm 327. Is yours running good, or do I have to expect problems if I buy yours?

Marcus,

I have had a number of folks use the OBDPro and overall it seems to be running well. There are a couple of things that I am changing such as the version string so you do not have to go to any extra steps to make it compatible with the vast majority of software out there. I do not anticipate any problems.

The ELM327 is a fine product and has a long history so I have a bit of catching up to do so I have a vested interest in making sure you are satisfied with the product

. I stand behind my scantool and if you run into any problems I will work with you on solving them.

Rather than me claiming it works as expected, why don't you wait a week and see what the existing beta testers say; by then if there are any issues I will have worked them all out and you can be assured that it will work as advertised.

Actually why don't I do this if you pick up the OBDPro by next week and it fails to perform per your expectations I will pay your shipping costs along with the full refund (no fine print

)

Paul
