I have a 2006 350z and recently purchased a vgate scan obd2 elm327 scanner for use with the torque or dash command app. I cannot get it to connect to my Z no matter what I try, its paired via Bluetooth and I entered the vehicle info but it just will not work. I know the scanner isn't faulty because I managed to get it to connect to a buddies 2014 mustang. If anyone has either a step by step guide on how to get it working with the Z specifically or knows some small setting I might have missed I would greatly appreciate the info!

 

Maybe the Z doesn't like junk? I have a OBDLink MX connected to my in car tablet and it works fine. There's no special way to hook up the Z it's the same as every other car. You plug in the obd reader, connect it via bluetooth to your android phone or tablet, then open torque/dashcommand and click connect. It's literally plug and play same steps for any car with obd.

 

Mine.wont.connect with the z also...works good with any other car

 

same here, my buddy even got his same scanner to work with my z a while back but he doesnt remember what settings he used

 

I've got a cheap wifi scanner from Amazon (too lazy to go grab it from my car now), and it works great on my '08 Z and iPhone 5s.

 

If the scan tool shows no display at all, you may have a blown fuse. On my '03 it is the same fuse as the accessory outlet.

 

I use a Wireless OBD2 Scanner I leave plugged in and Dash Command works awesome. Even the gearing etc...
Only thing I really wanted to work was the A/F Ratio gauge which doesnt.

 

Might try that also bought another obd2 scanner thats people claim works with the z its black little bigger than my blue elm unit

 

So i bought this onehttp://www.obd365.com/wholesale/elm327-bluetooth-software-obd2-eobd-can-bus-scanner-tool.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwueytBRCmpOyZ2L-xrG8SJADwH5c6Bi7DdvHntTB3agbrAhdF8UCEpvBEjksYdbAM3uArBxoCZVb w_wcB
But cheaper on ebay
Works perfect with the z conencts and everything unlike the blue one i have in my other car
