Working adapters
| Adapter | Form factor | Other features | Cost(at time of writing) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scantool.net OBDLink | Adapter and cable (adapter can be separated from cable) | Rx/Tx Host<->ECU status lights | $149.90(Special offer), $199.90 Normal | Flash upgradable firmware, Powersave/sleep function, Support forums
Reports of good customer support. This is the best adapter if you want the fastest PID read speed. |
| OBDPros website | Adapter and cable (adapter can be separated from cable) | Rx/Tx Host<->ECU status lights | $84.95 + BT option at $74.95 = $159.90 | Upgradable firmware |
| PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth | Adapter and cable (adapter cannot be separated from cable) | On/off switch, link light | $99.99 | Support forums |
| Adapter from China/via ebay/amazon | Single moulded unit | Rx/Tx Host<->ECU status lights | $20.00 to $60.00 | Many units seem to suffer poor build quality and reliability issues. Some units are perfectly fine. Make sure you purchase with a buyer who has a decent returns policy should the unit turn out to be defective. I would recommend avoiding this adapter, *especially* if you intend to use it on a Ford or other vehicle which uses the J1850-PWM protocol |
Adapters that are not currently supported
| Adapter | Form factor | Other features | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garmin EcoRoute | Moulded plug attached to cable, not detatchable | Works with EcoRoute HD navigation, "offline" data storage | Non ELM327 compatible. The protocol was discovered, however the adapter proved to be too slow to be of any use. |
