Why OBDPro?
We have been working with the OBDPro scan tool range for over a year now and we
have yet to find a more innovative scan tool. The OBDPro scan tool is jammed packed
full of features, you will not find in other Elm327 scan tools. We have continually
updated OBD 2007 over the last 12 months to fully take advantage of the unique features
of OBDPro.
Specifically where the OBDPro scan tool shines is with the following 3 important
features.
- Double buffered message queue.
- Support for very high speed baud rates.
- Remote upgrade capability.
Double Buffering
The first two features are primarily aimed at the high speed CAN protocol, the protocol
used by all new vehicles manufactured since 2008. When the CAN protocol was first
introduced in vehicles during 2004/05, many Elm327 chipped scan tools suffered from
BUFFER FULL messages, as a result of the high speed CAN networks of the vehicle
over running the small internal buffer of the Elm327 chip.
The OBDPro scan tool, overcame this limitation with its unique double buffer design,
so that BUFFER FULL messages were eliminated even at low speed baud rates.
High Speed Baud Rates
However, why use slow baud rates (9600 and 38,400 baud), when a USB port is capable
of speeds of up to 2.0Mbits. The OBDPro scan tool in conjunction with OBD 2007 can
exploit the very high speed baud rates of the OBDPro scan tool up to 4 times faster
than the current Elm327 v1.3 chip. If you are seeking high speed performance, then
the combination of OBDPro and OBD 2007 is the ultimate choice.
Remote Upgrade Capability
This feature of OBDPro is truly unique. OBDPro is the only Elm327 type scan tool
which is remotely upgradable. Your scan tool investment is protected, because when
any new firmware release is introduced, you have the ability to upgrade your scan
tool, by running a free upgrade program from OBDPros, while your OBDPro
scan tool is connected to your computer. Within a couple of seconds, your firmware
is upgraded to the latest version, so your scan tool is always current.
To do the same with any other Elm327 chipped scan tool requires purchasing a new
chip (~$US32), waiting days or weeks for delivery, dismantling/assembling your scan
tool, removing the old chip and replacing with the new chip. Removing and replacing
the 28 pin Elm327 chip is not for the faint hearted. Just don’t break or bend one
of those 28 pins.
OBDPros is the complete one stop scan tool shop – they design their own chip, plus
they build their own scan tools.
OBD 2007 also has an automatic upgrade facility, so now both your hardware and your
software investment are fully protected, at no extra charge.
Please note the version of OBD 2007 sold through OBDPros, LLC only works with the
OBDPro range of scan tools. This special version of OBD 2007 will not work with
any other Elm327 scan tools. If you require OBD 2007 to work with both an OBDPro
and other Elm327 scan tools then you would need to purchase the standard version
of OBD 2007 directly from GLM Software.
We do not supply an evaluation version of OBD 2007 for OBDPro, as our fully featured
evaluation version of OBD 2007, limited only by our unique 7 day activation license
works with all Elm327 chipped tools including the OBDPro range of scan tools. When
you purchase OBD 2007 for OBDPro from OBDPros LLC, you will receive a separate
download link for OBD 2007 for OBDPro and the required registration code.
Please note the registration code supplied with your purchase of OBD2007 for OBDPro
will only be valid with OBD 2007 for OBDPro, not the standard version of OBD
2007.
