Test OBD iOS App without using vehicle

Currently, I am working on an iOS App using OBD device. How can I test it without using a vehicle.

Solution

  • You'll either need to purchase a simulator, which can be upwards of $300-400, or you could setup a bench ECU.

    You should be able to find an ECU in a junkyard for $20-40 with the connector then you just need to wire it to an OBD2 port and a 12V for power. No messing around with creating testing classes, you'll be dealing with real world implementations.
