Basically the same as my OBDLink LX bluetooth dongle. The only I've seen so far is the OBDLink is use a bit more for CANBUS or CDD hacking. In other words lets say you want to take control of different things over the network some have grab stereo controls or lighting controls over the dongle. Both units use the same software basically. Comes back to the ELM327 chip and how much they designed to use of it.

 so can the GoPoint be used for 2nd GEN Trucks,,,would it be better choice for iPhone,,isn't CABUS whats used on new autos like 3rd and 4th GEN

CANBUS started with the 2nd Gen's and continue to develop more so later.

 

OBDLink MX has a WiFi series for iPhones.

This is just a sample of the what I was chasing after to give me the abilities to hack into the CANBUS and read engine data. This will be more of a winter project.

OK..Mike ..were now above my pay grade on electronics  ...  so all the vehicles have OBDII ports and that doesn't have anything to do with CANBUS,,,OBDII is still used to read diagnostics ????

I'm kinda confused with the CANBUS thing,,,trying to put this in perspective so i can decide which would be the better choice,,, there both about the same price

Did you see where the GoPoint actually shows TSB's,,,thought that was pretty cool..
