Hi Im really and hardly loooking for creating an android app that communicates with my elm327 clone. Its my final year project and im really confused of the commands.

Is there any tutorial or anyone please help me bros..I wanted the command set. I have read the datasheet of elm and it feels very confusing for me. Please help

The ECU which they talk to isn't on unless you turn the key OBD2 connector has KL30, the ECU wake-up/shut-down based on KL15 -Lasse

The 12 volts on the ODB2 connector is directly to the battery. It is on all the time.

It's just bad designs/programmers. Poorly design products can kill any battery. Don't they know about low-power/idle/standby modes? Perhaps they do and will be ready to sell you an upgrade with a premium price.

It doesn't?

This is on the OBD2 connector, which does not depend on the ignition switch position. Please pay attention properly. ?-)
