The My20 ELD, a subscription-based electronic logging device (ELD) from Konexial, connects to a vehicle’s OBDII port. This connection allows the ELD to collect data required for compliance with hours-of-service regulations. The My20 ELD is compatible with most trucks using a standard OBD-II diagnostic port, plugging directly into the vehicle’s ECM.
My20 ELD and OBDII Connection
The My20 ELD hardware requires an active annual subscription to function. Ensure you understand the subscription terms before purchasing. Konexial offers a one-year exchange policy for faulty devices and a 30-day refund policy (with a $50 restocking fee) for customers with active subscriptions. Expect a two-week lead time for shipping after purchase.
Mobile Device Compatibility for My20 ELD
Using the My20 ELD requires a compatible smartphone or tablet. Konexial recommends iOS devices for optimal performance.
iOS Compatibility
- Minimum: iOS 14 or higher on iPhone 7 or iPad Mini 4/Air 2.
- Recommended: iOS 17 or higher on iPhone 11 or newer iPads (released within the last four years).
You can check Apple’s website for supported iPhone and iPad models for each iOS version. Information about iOS 17 compatibility can be found on digitaltrends.com.
Android Compatibility
While Android devices are supported, they are not recommended for the best user experience.
- Minimum: Android 8 or higher.
- Recommended: Android 12 or higher on Google Pixel 8 or Samsung Galaxy S21 (or higher) phones, and Samsung Tab S8 (or higher) tablets.
Note: The Samsung Note 8 is not recommended due to known Bluetooth connectivity issues.
Conclusion
Connecting the My20 ELD to your vehicle’s OBDII port is straightforward. However, ensure your mobile device meets the minimum operating system and hardware requirements for seamless operation. While the ELD connects directly to the OBDII port, the user interface and data logging occur on the paired mobile device. Choose a compatible device, preferably iOS, for the best experience with the My20 ELD system.
