bluetooth OBD2 reader

[liam1986]

I know a few on here have purchased cheap bluetooth obd2 readers from amazon that work well with 'torque'

can you recommend me one thats works.

i'd like to know how close to exploding my engine is

[CheesyM]

I bought an ELM 327 Bluetooth - costs around £11-12 on ebay and works great with my Android phone + Torque. I've also used it in other cars (Fiat, MG & Hyundai) without any issues.

Edit: Just seen they're even cheaper on Amazon - I have one like this for £9.39.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a decent bluetooth OBD2 reader for an iPhone?

[J666eds]

I could never get the Bluetooth reader working with my iPhone. I brought a wifi reader and that works perfectly with my iPhone and dashcmd.

Can someone post a link for a wifi obd reader as I want to use it live and I've heard the Bluetooth connection is too slow
It's for the Monaro thanks

if you want to use it for speed / revs dont bother as the BT / WIFI versions suffer a time delay. if your just intrested in AIT's then it will be fine.

just remember to unplug the dongle when you have finished using it tho as the ODB port is permanently powered even when the cra is locked, so with the adaptor plugged in it will drain the battery.

Use and Xtool scanner costs more than others but have not experienced any delays in transmision to Iphone5 very good bit of kit, software is free.

So what's the conclusion?

What is the best value for money OBD2 reader for Ipohone 4/5 that would not cause any extra lag?

[SteveMJ]

I got the one that Cheesy had bought all OK so far on my VXR8 and using Torque on my Android 'phone.

A couple of points - I wanted to wach some acceleration profiles on the way to work but the 'phone ended up in the passenger footwell - doh! Also don't leave it connected all day while you're at work - its always powered.
