I have a bluetooth adapter for my android and its awesome. These are pretty cool gadgets and best of all, it only cost me $18. These things are way more capable than anything else for the price.

I did a quick search on eBay for "iobd2" and the prices were about 55-60, which one did you get that cost only 18? Can you share a link? Thanks in advance!

Its for android only. You will also need a program called Torque which you can get for $5 on Googleplay. I love how you can get data in realtime and clear CEL.

I have the same thing. I bought the bluetooth adapter on Ebay for $13 and bought the Torque app for 25 cents when they had a sale on the Google Playstore. This is a very cool and handy gadget.
