Autocraft Bluetooth ELM327 OBD-II BT AC08 v1.5
Bluetooth OBD-II code reader for three platforms
Product Overview
AC08 is a Bluetooth OBD-II code reader that pairs with Android, iOS and Windows devices, so the technician uses the phone or laptop already in their hand rather than a dedicated scan tool. It draws between 13 and 19 mA from a 7 to 18 V supply and works from -40 to 85 °C, which suits both cold and hot climates.
