Obd2 Bluetooth Scan Tool

I am looking into reading out the car information and found this OBD2 tool.
Does anyone know if there is such a socket on the Evoque?

I am looking into buying this one
OBD2 Scan Tool

and use it with this app on my Android smartphone.
Android Market link

Obd2 is industry standard on all cars... So yes it will fit.
I dont know what protocol the evoque uses (probably can bus), so the software should function too.

The Evoque uses an 11bit CAN protocall at 125kb/s and also 500kb/s on seperate busses, these busses come out on the OBD connector on pins 6 and 14 for the high speed 500k bus and pins 3 and 11 for the medium speed 125k bus. It also has CCP can for the engine control module on pins 12 and 13.

Its info looks simlar to this snip from a D4 which uses a simlar 11bit protocall. a bit of its decoding explained below. Sorry to be anal but its brain food for me

This all adds up to SALLAAAF3AA526513 which was my old D4's chassis number The bit at the beginning is the tool asking the car to spit out its ID of which it produces the Vin as requested, and the very last bit in the ecu is awake mode (keep alive) and it would repeat the last part line until it was reset or another command from the tool was sent.

Mose generic tools should read the basic codes that are emission related and may be a few more but they may not read in depth LR related codes or other modules on the car.

Thanks Pete that good to hear. Might need to do the LR special ones by hand on my laptop then, but for day to day driving the Android tool should work then.

Yes in theory most generic diag tools should do the basics.
