Android interface for realtime OBD diagnostics that works?

[Pipps]

Does anyone have an OBDII ELM327 Bluetooth interface that works?

I want to use Android apps such as Torque to monitor everything while I'm driving.

I have purchased two on eBay recently and both have connected to the tablet but failed to communicate via the OBD port to the car.

Should I buy from more reputable retailers, or is there a specific ELM327 interface that has been found to work with 306s?

Good to hear that yours worked fine. I probably just received a dodgy one then. Thanks

Erm sorry to be a bit of a noob but what dose this do?

Allows you to see engine data, such as coolant temp/rpm/engine load etc. Though with the hdi it does seem a little limited

I'm sorry for reopening an old thread but what's the likelyhood of this working on a christmas 1999 PH3 2l HDI? Meridian model?

Should work fine.
