Default Blue tooth odb2

Morning all,

I've just bought myself a cheap android tablet to try out the "torque pro" app,
Mainly for the error code reader, but do like the idea of knowing temps etc.

I've look on eBay for the odb2 Bluetooth adaptor, seems to be quite a few out there.....
Could someone point me in the right direction of a good one. ie not cheap *** Chinese made crap :-)

Thanks.


And what are the thoughts on the app??
Has anyone used it along side gauges?? How accurate is the app??

I bought a very cheap one from eBay, cost a fiver delivered. The tablet would find the device via Bluetooth it would also connect, but when it came to connecting to the app it just kept loading. If anyone finds a decent one let me know :-)

Try and avoid the short ones they can be a pain to get out.

It was suppose to be £15 but they had some mad weekend sale so I grabbed one on the off chance. How much should I look to spend then ?

I got a PLX Kiwi one, cost a little more than the cheap ones but works every time. They seem to have doubled in price in the last year though
