Only downside is its not android/ipad/iphone software included

If you have an Android device, this app [google.com] is free and works well with the adapter for reading/clearing engine codes and monitoring sensor info. Also, these adapters are usually on eBay/Amazon for around $14, so this is a pretty good price.

Not trying to TC, but I found a smaller, cheaper one on dinodirect. I have no idea if it's as good as the one OP linked to, though.

EDIT: url was blocked. Don't want to get in trouble with the mods, but if you were looking for it, it's on DinoDirect's "groupbuy" site.

Good price, I don't think I've paid less than $15 for any of mine. In for another. Thanks OP!

Seriously, spend the $5 on Torque Pro and call it a $17 package. Even Torque Lite will still scan codes if that's all you use it for. You won't find a more capable system for less than $50, if not $100. The ELM adapter plus Torque Pro is THE BEST value in anything if you own a car.

Spend the extra $2 or $5 and get it from Newegg or Amazon. These adapters are notoriously cheap and have a high failure / DOA rate. I've been lucky, I'm 4 for 4 on good adapters, but others aren't so lucky. I would highly recommend going with someone that has great customer service / easy exchanges like Newegg or Amazon.

I just want to add Torque Pro is great. My 2 other OBD readers (usb and serial) are now gathering dust and I spent much more on them. In for a spare at this price.

I would buy the MINI version. This one is about as tall as a pack of smokes. Ebay has the Mini ones that are about as tall as a quarter. If you are going to leave it installed under your dash and drive around, you will quickly see size does matter.

Any recommendations for an iOS app? Torque Pro looks to be Android only.

are there any functionality differences? other than the size, obviously.

Quote from fyu : are there any functionality differences? other than the size, obviously.

From my initial research last year, the mini versions had an even higher failure / DOA rate (based on forum reviews, Amazon, etc) and I had also read that it was slower (less PIDs per second, thus slower readings on gauges, etc. This would not come into play if you are using it strictly for a code reader).

FWIW, the "long" version that the OP linked to isn't even visible on our Vibe. Slightly visible but certainly not in the way on the Duramax or Buick. Sticks out from the bottom of the dash on my 99 Wrangler by an inch or so. On the Wrangler, I clipped it with my left foot getting in a few times during the first ~2 weeks. It hasn't been an issue since I trained myself not to.
