Hi guys,
I would like to buy a mini OBD2 bluetooth adapter which is a good compromise between quality and cost.
I do not need it for professional use, I will use it on my vehicles.
Do they work on both CAN (HS / MS CAN)?
Which one do you recommend that is easy to find in Europe?
Is there one sponsored by www.saeb.net?
Wanting to buy a diagnostic software with gauges for Android (x samsungg S9) that I recommend: Forscan, Torque Pro, etc.?

Thank you ;)

Hi there.
This is a popular unit, http://www.obdlink.com/mxbt/

It works on everything it needs to on a Ranger.

It can be left plugged in permanently, there is a second OBD port behind the dash, viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1541

Sorry, no idea about easy find in Europe.

I use this dongle and have the OBDLink app installed on an S9 & tablet.

Only HS/MS can mini is as per the above post. Although I believe this model http://www.obdlink.com/mxp/ does bluetooth also.

I cannot get them and every single other brand/model out there will not do mscan.
