    I don't plan on leaving mine plugged in as this is my second ODB2 bluetooth device. The first one died... maybe from being plugged in all the time? Anyways, I just want data for some drives, don't need it all the time

    do tires count?
    This works great when you don’t live in CA! I had car problems in AZ and loved doing this, helped me buy the part I needed to fix right there at autzone, but CA wouldn’t do it.

    Same here !!! Just found out that in the state of Hawaii auto part shops are prohibited from lending them out.

    Sucks... I’m an Apple user. Any recommendations

    Replacing everything worn, broken, and rusted.
    Does anyone has a setup that works on Android 9.0? I've tried 2 devices (Bluetooth/wifi) from Amazon and neither has worked. Both failed to connect and both went back. There's an issue with 9.0 specifically. In fact when you open Torque it notifies you there is a conflict with Pandora.

    If you ever need to use Tech stream just let me know I have a windows laptop and cable. Not sure where on the island you are but I'm in Kapolei.

    Very casual use here, but happy with the OBD Fusion and the Veepeak OBD2 bluetooth scanner. But I'm more of a casual driveway mechanic...when someone lets me use their driveway ha

    I use Bluedriver. It's not cheap. Maybe it's even overpriced. I thought I would put it out there, so other users can tell you why not to spend that much on it(I would like to know :))

    To flash an ECU you need to buy a real MongoosePro cable, which costs about $500. I am using a dL copy of Techstream and a mini vci cable. But also to flash you’re gonna need to be able to get the cal file. If you don’t have it already you would need to find one online or do a month subscription to tis.
