help PLX Devices Kiwi 3 FAQ
Does the PLX Kiwi 3 work with iPhones as well as Android phones?
Yes, one of the Kiwi 3's headline features is dual-mode Bluetooth support for both iOS and Android, unlike many cheap ELM327 adapters that only pair with Android. This made it a popular pick for iPhone owners who wanted real-time engine data.
What apps can I use with the PLX Kiwi 3?
Popular choices include Torque Pro on Android and DashCommand, an app long associated with PLX devices, on iOS. It works with most apps that support standard OBD-II scan tools over Bluetooth.
Will the Kiwi 3 drain my car battery if I leave it plugged in?
The Kiwi line is designed with low power draw and a sleep mode that activates when the vehicle is off. Even so, most owners unplug it during long periods of storage to avoid any slow battery drain.
Why is the Kiwi 3 considered faster than cheaper OBD-II adapters?
PLX engineered the Kiwi 3 for much higher data refresh rates than generic ELM327 clones, reportedly capable of dozens of sensor samples per second. That faster polling makes gauges and performance readings feel responsive on the screen.
