Don't you love the footnote on their web site: "Generic ELM327 Bluetooth adapters are not compatible with OBD Fusion for iOS. This is a limitiation of iOS, not OBD Fusion." But it does look like a good app. Glad to see that 4820 users have rated it, and that it got such a high rating. OTOH, Torque Pro has a 4.5 rating, and 55,575 ratings and more than a million downloads. Could be because OBD Fusion is more than 2x the price. $5 seems to be the price point where people will not think about the cost of an app. Still wondering why iOS doesn't allow the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP). SPP is used by a huge number of industrial devices which can't have apps on iOS which is a shame. |

Very good. The benefits of using a low bandwidth iLBC 15Kbits/sec codec is somewhat negatated by the higher latency (delay) as compared with G.711 (64Kbits/sec uncompressed). It takes time to compress the audio, so watch out for echo problems. >If so, I think I'll change phones to whatever Jeff may recommend that is >available in a local Santa Cruz or San Jose Costco. No recommendation. Most everything I've tried in DECT 6.0 works. Mine is an AT&T something that I bought at a thrift shop. Just make sure your prospective phone supports DSC (DECT Standard Cipher) encryption: "Demonstration Listening to DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone Call with a HackRF SDR" <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EUvw-mPO1M> I'm told that the Panasonic cordless phones are all encrypted but therefore have higher latency. I'm out of action for a while thanks to yet another kidney stone.
