These tools mentioned are NOT OBD II, these applications are true SSM (Subaru Select Monitor)
I use these tools on these older generation vehicles because they are quick and easy.
With the PC or Android, the screen can be recorded for playback / reference. ie: PC > Camtasia and Android > AZ Recorder
I do this as a Professional Technician and having the latest Snap-On with SSM3 / SSM4 professional tools, they are not cheap.
The USB connections have a much faster refresh rate than BlueTooth but all work perfect for these older models.
