Bluetooth OBD2

[Whipped500]

Anyone have any recommendations for a Bluetooth OBD2 to link to my phone for Torque?

 

I had one and can't find it so was going to get a new one to for my LM2 since I'm getting DEF problems. 

 

Looking for suggestions and basically wondering if there is anything that makes one better than another or just get the cheapest?

 

Thanks

The one I bought off of Amazon years ago still works great.  I think it was less than $30.  With things like that, I don't get the most expensive or the cheapest but somewhere in between and have good luck.

I have a few and the cheapest ones work fine. However, I use this one currently.

If I recall from when I bought it (3-4 years ago) it supposedly has a higher refresh rate. But the 10 dollar ones work fine.

If you want a cheaper unit than the LX above I use this one in my camaro for telemetry on my go pro. And so far this one hasn't caused any CEL's like the OBDLINK MX unit I used to use.

I mainly want it to read codes but I am also interested I'm trying to look at other things that I have heard people mention they can do...exhaust soot level, def fluid level, regen

I was assuming all I needed was the Bluetooth thing to plug in, but I was looking at a cheap ELM earlier and it said it wasn't compatible with diesel. O didn't know it mattered.  I thought the app did everything. 

 

I'm open to any device as well as app but otherwise I was going to use torque or torque pro.

Don't have Android so not familiar with the Torque App.  

That said, I have one of these - OBDLink® MX+ - Outstanding Bluetooth-Compatible OBD II Scan Tool

 

It appears to be compatible with Torque.  Very quick device using OBDLink's app.

$11 elm327 works with autodoctor and torque apps, if you want to spend $300 hptuners is the best option

Actually not looking to spend much at all because it would be more of a code reader.  Maybe if I was towing or going a longer distance would I have it on to check different readings.

then just go on ebay and pick up the little blue elm327 for 11 bux
