OBD-II Bluetooth Adapter

[jp7794]

I am looking for an OBD-II adapter that I can connect to a smartphone or tablet to use with an android app like this. Has anyone used one of these and if so what brand/model?

I've got a PLX Qiwi, it works pretty good and I've never had trouble with it.

It works with Torque and DashCommand just fine.

any elm327 bluetooth obd2 reader should work.

these work great for simple codes... anything better you need to drop a grand.

I use one that i got from DX.com and it works fine. 15$ Can or so.

I use the elm327 Wifi reader with iPhone apps (OBDcarDoctor, OBD Fusion, DashCmd) but there are plenty of android apps as well.

I discovered that with my first one. Connected but couldn't read the ECU. I ordered another one, so I will update this thread when/if I find one that works. Going through reviews, connecting to the KJ seems to be an issue and not just the case of a cheap scanning unit.

Either that's a common thing, or a coincidence with me. I read the codes on mine on Tuesday, hooked up to the laptop. Took it a few tries for it to link up. And yet I've done it previously with no issue. Could be that a dog barked at the moon the night before, it is a Jeep after all. lol

My Garmin Mechanic add-on gauge scanner does not do terribly much compared to the "real" scanners, but I do find it useful. I have noticed that it can be fussy at times connecting. If I leave it plugged in and don't mess with the battery it is almost always fine. My battery croaked a couple months ago and it took me several tries to get it reconnected.

Found One That Worked!

I got my second from Amazon and it connected right up. Played with it a little and it is a neat little toy. I will install Torque Pro on my tablet and do a review with some screenshots.

So others don't have to go through the same thing (although it still may be YMMV) I went through on my 2006 Jeep Liberty KJ:

This one worked!

Thanks, good to know! Just read this after ordering one. Hope it works on my 02. If not it'll probably work on one of my other vehicles.
