Does anyone know of any OBD II software?

Rather, perhaps stupidly, I've purchased one of those cheap bluetooth OBD II devices.

I can't seem to get any of the bundled software to talk to it (it looks very old freeware).

After spending the afternoon trawling the internet for freeware/cheap programs I've not found anything.

Can anyone recommend any software that I can use with a laptop running vista?

They are great things..

Do you have a android phone?? If so, loads of free apps.

Well the other half has but for some reason we can't get the bluetooth to work on the phone (it's a crappy motorola and it's very picky what it will pair with).

I've got it paired with the laptop, now all I need is some software!
