I would like to get one of these adapters for DIY tinkering. But when it comes to new technology I'm a little out of the loop [chronologically challenged]. I do know I would like a "mini" adapter so as to not bang my knee on it and I'll be using a free version of an app like Torque Or iOBD2. I have read it best to avoid some "clones" or "fake" versions of this product.
Here are some questions.
WiFi vs Bluetooth? I have an old smart i phone S4 and a windows laptop. The i phone can use wifi and Bluetooth but the laptop only wifi. Bluetooth seems to be the most popular. I would want a wifi version? What is the advantage of either system?
Do these elm327 adapters not work with all android/windows/iphone apps or are they specific? I downloaded and installed iOBD2 onto the iphone. Does this mean the adapter must be of the iOS type?
