OBD Boy is one more OBD2 ELM327 application for Google Play. It's a work in progress application but it can't mess up your car since ELM327 can't write anything to your cars communication networks.

I started making this due my own car has a weird problem. Unfortunately I realized within the progress that this car needs way different electronics and software to read data out than what I can do with ELM327. Maybe it can do more. Future development will reveal that. I can develop this further after I have enough money to buy OBD simulating device. Virtual ones are junk.
