Dave330 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 So, after sending back my ELM327 Mini (bought from Amazon) that wouldn't let my apps communicate with the car (even though the bluetooth connection was fine), I now need a replacement.Does anyone have any experience of bluetooth OBD readers that work, please? I don't want to go down the road of the software/cable approach without knowing whether I need it, so the small outlay on a bluetooth reader will help determine this.I had a 'full size' ELM327 (like this: http://www.totalcardiagnostics.com/images/elm327_bluetooth-1.jpg) working on a previous car before a friend borrowed and lost it. Before I order a replacement one of these, I just wanted to know if anyone had experience of one working on the e46, and where (apart from the Amazon lottery) they sourced it from.Cheers!

Daud Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Vgate iCar 3 ELM327 Bluetooth V3.0 OBD2 Car Diagnostics Scanner This is the one I bought recently for my 2005 model, connects and works perfectly also can leave it plugged in as it turns itself off!

jamesfoley Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I use an OBDLink LX (https://www.scantool.net/obdlink-lx.html), but its rather expensive compared to ebay ones. I was having a load of issues with cheap ebay adaptors so bit the bullet on something decent and haven't had any issues since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
