Get the BAFX one from Amazon, I've had it for at least 5 or 6 years no troubles at all.

Quote from mike.alberga@gmail.com on July 4, 2014 ok, I have a Vgate off amazon. It does not pair with TorqueLite or TorquePro. I don't know who to be pissed at... I don't see any responses to any questions from the developer. Everybody is asking which dongle works. DEVELOPER RECOMMEND A DONGLE FOR YOUR SOFTWARE. 2004 HONDA

It has been almost a decade since you reported that. I've brought their latest adapter last year, basically it works fine, but for some technical questions they just refused to admit it, so stubborn.

Hey! So clone form kingbolen elm327 v1.5 Bluetooth Is work with canbus protocol and it can penetrate Suzuki ECU But it's only work in SZ Viewer A1 (I'm still unsure and not tried the other one) Torque does support canbus protocol BUT these no model 3xxx or above. That's the reason why I hate torque app. (apologies for bad English)

Quote from admin on October 17, 2013 Hi! There are a lot of clone adapters that currently don't work on the CANBUS protocol (the fastest protocol that every new vehicle currently uses). This means that there are a lot of users not able to get their adapters working with their newer vehicles (and unforutnately end up rating Torque poorly as a result) You may find that your dashboard lights up like an xmas tree when one of these adapters causes issues or goes faulty - you can reset this in extreme cases by disconnecting the vehicle battery for 5 minutes (make sure you check the handbook for the correct procedure and note down any radio codes needed/etc). Most of the time turning the ignition off/on clears the problem. If you have an adapter that's done this I would strongly recommend not using it CANBUS is most commonly used vehicles from 2007 onwards (though can be used before 2005 on some manufactures) If you have a vehicle from around this age in the EU/US then it should be working with Torque (as it is required to support OBD2) - if you are not able to connect to the ECU in this situation then your adapter could well be the issue (as there seem to be currently a bad batch of clone adapters doing the rounds) I'm likely going to put a note in the app about this as well if a clone adapter is used, as a large number of users are having issues with them. Unfortunately I've not been able to narrow it down to a specific type of clone yet. Do you think this one will work for me? Android Bluetooth Adapter (It was only about $4.00 off ebay.) I will be using it mostly on my 2002 Olds Alero. Maybe a Friends 2011 little chevy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OBDII-ELM327-Code-Reader-Android-Bluetooth-Adapter-Auto-Scanner-Diagnostic-Tool/283558820367?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I don't know, I am not seeing my posts. Maybe they need approval.

have a "ELM 327 mini" (supports all ODBII protocols) but the "connection 2 adapter"-Icon in the app plays "ping-pong". Running the latest android app on a brand new Huawei Mate 20 pro. Guess/seems that the adapter is crap. Any 1 can link to a Adapter that defenetly works propper in a Audi? And i will NOT disconect my cars battery!

OBDPRO Scantool USB does not work well with my 2005 Volvo S60. Get a protocol $06 error when trying to run "Test Results" It severed CanBus communication to the automatic transmission making it stuck in neutral. It disabled all traction control and anti-lock braking. A restart brought these back. I have a 2004 Volvo with no issues. I have run this adapter on a 2009 Ford Escape and 2010 Mustang with no issues. Could this be a torque issue?

Just want to let yall know that my adapter I bought from the 'EEEkit' seller on walmart.com appears to be in working order and working with my vehicle, which is a 2004 buick regal... bluetooth adapter information below... Adapter Brand: Konnwei Adapter software version: 1.5 Device Bluetooth MAC is: 23:32:02:05:89:86 *edit/add* the unit supposedly supports all known protocols Device Design: black plastic body, with a red rubber grip ring on the end, labeled with the brand name Konnwei in the rubber... it also has 3 tiny LEDS on the end under a power button... Again... this adapter works currently on a 2004 buick regal, plugged in semi-permanently... anyone else have this adapter, and had problems with it I'd welcome commenting, but for now I would label my device and with no information to the contrary, the Konnwei brand as working... Also... to those who have a v2.1 model, I've read online that if they have a v1.5 software, it is likely real, and v2.1 is likely a very dangerous and/or buggy fake device...
