Forscan lite elm327 setup

Got the elm 327 WiFi reader in. How can I get this to hook up to the Forscan lite app on my iPhone. Everytime I try it fails to connect. I know it may have something to do with IP addresses and things of that nature that I just need some listed out directions for. Can someone please help! Thanks in advance! YouTube has been no help.

I'm curious to hear what others have to say too. I bought one and it would not connect. Something about a bad clone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, someone must have this set up correctly, I’ve seen the display snapshots on here, really looking for easy way for oil life percentage and few others

Forscan and iPhones are not compatible. Try dash boss, depends on the elm adapter you have.

Forscan Lite is certainly iOS compatible.

"Bad Clone" means that the adapter needs to exchanged for a different one.

Send back the ELM adapter and get a new one, it’s faulty. If you want it for iOS, you need to order specifically for that purpose. No knowing the exact model you ordered it could be an iOS incompatibility. Forscan lite will only do monitoring, not Forscan edits, changes to the modules.

I can get it to work with other obd apps but not Forscan lite
all I really want to do is measure oil life percentage on the go. Forscan I’ve seen is easiest way to do that

if you know of another obd app that I can monitor oil life percentage that would be great.
