Yeah I actually had a problem with a car I bought and having this proved it right away

Any chance you can share the apps you use or pm them to me?

This thread is about 3 weeks old, but for the sake of contributing, I am just posting to say I just purchased this OBD2 adapter on Amazon. Total was $11.88 after tax and shipping here to Texas. It's expected delivery date is between Nov 19 and Dec 7. That's shipping from HK for ya...

I'll update with a little review when I get it and a little spare time

Been away from my amaze for a bit but ill add that I've used the adapter for a while now and its pretty simple to use. Since it plugs into the obd port it draws its power from there.

I've used it only with the torque app and its been flawless. U have to pair it in the phones settings first than look for it in the torque apps settings to connect.

I've used it to scan my truck a few times and my dads car, read the issues just fine. Torque is free put when u buy it u get a few more features.

I also leave it plugged in the truck and have never had it drain my battery.

I just bought this OBDII adaptor and it works great. Paired with the Torque (free) app it does what I need it to. Gonna buy the app next pay day.

The only thing I don't like is you have to unplug it since it will drain your battery

I keep mine plugged in. It hasn't drained it yet. Hopefully it won't. Maybe I'll just unplug it since I don't use it all the time. It would be cool if we could actually do some slight programming. Like MAF tuning or valve timing adjustments. Gotta buy a $700 FlashPro for that tho.

It was reported by many users that it drains battery 24/7
It is actually slightly warm when you unplug it.

I guess you don't get temperatures -35C in winter time

I've been using an OBD2 adapter with several cars now and it's so convenient to have. Carrying around the A2107-F and doing 0-60's and everything looks so professional yet so fun :silly:
Wasn't this specific one though. It was a $17 one from ebay.
