For my 2004 Toyota Corolla, I have been trying to find a good OBD tool. Recently I tried Tachyon Obd2 Bluetooth tool for Toyota and it worked like a charm. [http://www.ebay.com/itm/261488588835?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&\_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649](http://www.ebay.com/itm/261488588835?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649) I was able to get, Instantaneous fuel economy Individual fuel economy of last 25 trips Fuel economy graphs Gear shifting patterns Battery voltage Toyota Specific DTC status and Freeze frames and many other sensor data It looks like most of these data are Toyota specific data, which cannot get from other standard scan tools. The best feature I like is that I don’t have to use a PC or Phone to log trip data. As long as the unit is plugged to the OBD2 port, it automatically logs trip data. And when I need them, I can get them using the PC or Android App. > **[Experts in OBD2 EOBD JOBD Scan Tools for Toyota and all OBD2 compliant vehicles](http://www.tachyontechtools.com)** > > Experts in OBD2 Scanners, Scan Tools, OBD2 diagnostic PC and Android based software, OBD2 USB and OBD2 Bluetooth Interfaces for Toyota and all OBD2 compliant vehicles > **[Expert in OBDII Scanners, Scan Tools, Diagnostic software Android apps](http://www.tachyontechtools.com/?product=obdii-bluetooth-t100-bt-toyota%2F)** > > Tachyon Technologies- OBD2 Bluetooth Scan Tool – Automotive Diagnostics for Toyota – Android and PC Software also, the software and Android app comes FREE with the unit! ---

Not to be rude . . . but why are you posting this? Do you have a question? Are you simply promoting this product? “Instantaneous fuel economy Individual fuel economy of last 25 trips Fuel economy graphs Gear shifting patterns” That stuff has nothing to do with OBD2 . . . it seems the device is aimed at the layman ---

It’s spam. His only other post was a fake question about the same product, complete, of course, with links to buy it. Hopefully @cdaquila will ban him soon. ---

I got a 2004 corolla and it does not have any trip meters. Every time I want to check fuel consumption, I had to manually do it. I tried ELM but it didn’t work (I got a JDM) So, I thought it might he helpful for someone who is looking for device like this. ---

@db4690 sometimes Google image search amuses me. 900 pictures of no spam, like you wanted, and halfway down there’s this: ![](http://3dup.com/images/credits/nospam.jpg) The Lady of Shalott must be anti-spam too 😉 ---

In that case, let’s close this discussion . . . ? It makes no sense to keep this going, if the guy who started it can’t post anymore . . . ? ---

Oops! It didn’t take. Thanks for pointing it out, @db4690.
