OBD2 code reader for Android phone

[multifrog]

Can anyone recommend a specific model / supplier?
I would like to buy one of these units but find some of the descriptions on ebay misleading and many need a cable to function fully
I have Torque downloaded ready and waiting...

Have a look at this thread. It may point you in the right direction; or give you another place to ask your questions.... :idea:

Hi,
AlfaOBD is good app for android.

You will need a bluetooth ELM327 interface. The very cheap ones have a design fault. This seller is one I have used and while I've not had this specific interface I have reasonable confidence in the seller.

You may need adaptor leads for some functions like airbags but to be honest if you are doing that level of work you should be using a wired interface on a PC.

and the Car Scanner App, reads and deletes fault codes, does live data and lots more for the 14quid the dongle costs.
