Features & Capabilities

ELM327 Identifier is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you quickly determine whether your ELM327 Bluetooth or WiFi adapter is genuine or a clone. Many China clone adapters falsely claim ELM327 compatibility, leading to unreliable diagnostics. This tool sends nearly all available AT commands (114 commands) based on official ELM327 datasheets (firmware v2.2 and experimental v2.3) to verify your adapter's authenticity.

Using the app is simple: connect and pair your ELM327 device with your Android device or computer, run the scan, and review detailed results showing supported commands. The extension helps you spot discrepancies in claimed features, ensuring you can trust your adapter for automotive diagnostics. Note that some commands require a live vehicle connection to work and aren’t tested by the app. Users can also save scan results for future reference. Additionally, the app supports multiple translations thanks to community contributions.

The app is highly praised for validating actual protocol support and helping buyers avoid fake adapters by showing real version numbers. It consistently does what it claims, is easy to use, and aids OBD2 troubleshooting. Pros include verifying capabilities, identifying genuine devices, and quick, reliable tests. The main downsides cited are lack of USB support and limited compatibility with non-Bluetooth scanners. Overall, it’s a valuable, trusted tool for assessing ELM327 devices before purchase.

Pros

Helps identify authentic ELM327 units and distinguish cheap clones by showing real version numbers (e.g., v1.5) and supported protocols.
Easy to use and reliable; does exactly what it claims and aids in OBD2 troubleshooting.
Very useful for buyers to test adapters at the seller’s location before purchase.
A unique, one-of-a-kind tool in the Play Store for checking protocol support.

Cons

No USB support; only Bluetooth-connected testing is available (USB adapters are not supported).
Limited compatibility with non-Bluetooth OBD scanners and some adapters may not pair easily with Android BT settings.
