i have bought about 4 of these now for my self and other people and never had a problem with them

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-OBD2-E...YAAOSwymxVP1gO

you do need the full version of torque not the free version, also these do not work with iphones, i have found they only work on android.

Thumbs up

after speaking with the supplier I ordered from, I decided to go for the more expensive one as it does a few more things. So a iCarsoft VOL-11 Gen 2 ordered

Also, I ordered from this company in the end as I read that there are lots of cheaper fakes around & this company states it is an official supplier. After ringing them I believe they are and sounded very knowledgeable on the scanner:

I was kind of hoping you'd remembered why you chose it and pass it on for the benefit of the forum.
When I've taken the time to answer your PMs, I didn't realise I should have just said, "find out yourself".

Thanks for the help.

I mentioned in a post some time ago that I found the adapters to be a bit hit and miss. I have 4 adapters now and they all work, I've also tried a few apps but I've yet to find two adapters that work with the same app. I think there's some black magic going on here and my biggest problem is remembering which adapter works with which app.

Saying that, once they're connected they do what I need perfectly well.

I ask a 2 word question, "like what?" and you infer all that?
You have the logic of a woman on rag week.
