What are the shortcomings of Bluetooth OBD2 connector?
Limited transmission distance: The transmission distance of Bluetooth technology has certain limitations. Although it can meet the needs of diagnosing around vehicles in most cases, if it is necessary to monitor vehicles at a farther distance or diagnose multiple vehicles at the same time in a large maintenance workshop, it may be limited by distance, resulting in unstable or interrupted signals.
Relatively slow data transmission speed: Compared to wired connections, Bluetooth has a relatively slower data transmission speed. When transmitting large amounts of data or performing complex diagnostic operations, there may be data delays or lags, which can affect diagnostic efficiency. Especially for professional maintenance scenarios that require quick access to large amounts of vehicle data, the transmission speed of Bluetooth OBD2 connectors may not meet the requirements.
Stability needs to be improved: Bluetooth signals may be affected by interference from other wireless devices and internal electronic devices of the vehicle, resulting in unstable connections. In some cases, there may be connection interruptions or data loss, requiring reconnection or reacquiring data, which can affect the user experience and diagnostic accuracy to some extent.
Dependent on mobile devices: The Bluetooth OBD2 connector needs to be used in conjunction with a mobile device to function properly. If the mobile device has low battery, malfunctions, or does not have the corresponding application installed, it will not be able to perform vehicle diagnosis properly. In addition, compatibility issues with different mobile devices and applications may also affect the effectiveness of Bluetooth OBD2 connectors.
