Why did you put both a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth OBDII scanner in the enclosure? Just in case?
Thanks for the good words. It seems like the Androids do a little better on Bluetooth, but Ipads require WIFI. Sometimes I like to use the Ipad, sometimes I like to run an Android (and of course an Android smartwatch), so I just broadcast both. I have a switch to switch my wireless on and off with the key, or to have it stay on all the time. If I leave it on all the time, there is a small drain on the batteries, but it is nice to be able to have a look at things from my living room while the car is in the garage. If I use the on and off via the key feature, I have it set up to keep broadcasting during the charge cycle, but then it shuts down after the charge is complete.
