Working adapters

Adapter	Form factor	Other features	Cost(at time of writing)	Comments
Scantool.net OBDLink	Small unit	Power, Host, Bluetooth and OBD status lights Device Security	$199.95	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. Read speeds can be as fast as 60PIDs/sec (Tested on a Galaxy S2, CANBUS protocol) This device also offers security to prevent unauthorized use
Scantool.net OBDLink	Adapter and cable (adapter can be separated from cable)	Rx/Tx Host<->ECU status lights	$149.90(Special offer), $179.90 Normal	Flash upgradable firmware, Powersave/sleep function, Support forums Reports of good customer support. Fast PID read speeds.
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 Support Forums
Diamex DX70 & DXM website	Adapter in single unit	RX/TX status light, Power Light	149EUR	Not the fastest adapter, but good construction, reliable.
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
