Jeff,

I just went out and tested and the ELM327 does not charge my phone in host or device mode. It may be possible to use a Y usb cable to charge and talk to ELM327 at the same time if you need to log for longer than the FR battery will last. Using a Y cable in that way could also be dangerous though. I seem to recall seeing something about not using ELM327 with a plugged in computer, but you could try it with a meter first, then an expensive device.

I was hoping that the ELM327 could power the FR over USB from the car.
Are you saying that didn't happen?

Regards
