FAQ [continued]

Q: What is the difference between this $39.99 model and the identical-looking $31.99 model, besides the price?

A: The difference between the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE and BLE+ models lies in the commands they support. The BLE+ is compatible with the latest ELM327 v2.2 version commands, while the BLE only supports v1.4 commands. However, it is important to note that app/software support is required for these commands, and currently, only a few apps have implemented them. For most vehicles and apps (except for some Toyota vehicles using OBD Fusion), the BLE model is sufficient and will work the same.

Q: What ELM firmware version is this?

A: The Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ uses ELM327 v2.2 firmware, which is a recent version with an extended command set. Please ensure that your OBDII app is up to date and supports the full command set.

Q: Does this work for a 2007.5 LMM Duramax turbo diesel?

A: The compatibility of the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ with a specific vehicle model like the 2007.5 LMM Duramax turbo diesel depends on the app you will be using. Different apps have different features and support for specific vehicle models. Check if the "2007.5 LMM Duramax turbo diesel" is supported by ELM327/OBD2 protocols and then verify if your chosen app supports it as well.

Q: Does this work for a Corolla 2010 S? If so, what extra commands could it support?

A: The Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ should work with a Corolla 2010 S. However, to access additional commands and features specific to your vehicle, you may need to use an app like OBD Fusion (for iPhone) or Torque Pro (for Android). These apps provide enhanced diagnostics and support for specific vehicle codes, allowing you to diagnose and monitor various issues with your car.

Q: What is the warranty on this product? I’ve been trying to get a replacement and cannot figure out how to contact customer support.

We recommend checking the compatibility of your BMW X1 2013 with ELM327/OBD2 protocols and verifying if the recommended BMW-specific apps support this feature before purchasing the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+.
