The Data Adapter
The BlueFire Data Adapter is an electronic device that connects to your vehicle's on-board
computers (ECMs) and transmits information wirelessly to the BlueFire App (Motorhomes or
Trucks). The Adapter is constructed of industrial grade materials, will withstand abuse, and is
weather resistant.
You can purchase your adapter from either Amazon (search for BlueFire Data Adapter) or from our
Store at https://bluefire-llc.com/store.
There are two styles of adapters:
Android/Windows adapters that support Android and Windows 10.
Apple/Android/Windows adapters that support Apple, Android and Windows 10.
Within each style are two types: 6-pin and 9-pin. They connect to your diagnostic data port usually
located under the dash on the driver side. The diagnostic port will look like one of these:
As a general rule of thumb:
Vehicles (motorhomes, trucks, etc) built from 1995-2001 generally have a gray 6-pin
diagnostic port.
Vehicles manufactured from 2002-2006 may have either a black 9-pin or a gray 6-pin
diagnostic port.
Most Vehicles manufactured from 2007-2016 will have a black 9-pin diagnostic port.
Vehicles manufactured in 2017 or later will have a green 9-pin diagnostic port.
The OBD-II diagnostic port is used by automotive engine manufacturers (Ford, GM,
Mercedes, etc) and requires a special OBD-II to 9-pin converter connector. Our
Website/Store has a link to manufactures of this connector.
Please verify what kind of port you have! We have seen a lot of variations out there.
If you can't find the diagnostic port, look around the steering column and seat. It may also
be behind the firewall panel where the electrical wiring is.
