I was in the market for an OBD2 reader. Read on C&D that this is their best choice for DIYers with stand-alone scanner and bluetooth capability.

Looks like there's a 15% coupon that you can add on the product page along with a 5% code BD310DEAL. Comes out to 48.04 before taxes.

No, and this, to me, is clunkier because you have a long cable coming out of the OBD2 connector going to the stand-alone device. It's kind of nice to have something that can operate independent of a phone, but if you have a phone and a dongle I see no advantage to this.

I received the product 2 days ago and tested it out. The quality of the connector is good, and one of the advantages of this product is that you can use it BOTH as bluetooth and standalone device, which was something that I was looking for as a feature.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL CONNECTION: ANCEL BD310 car code reader is a unique OBD-II scanner. it can be used in 3 different ways: not only can as a handheld connected to the car's OBD-II port; but also connected to a all mobile phone or the tablet by wirelessly bluetooth 5.0 ; and more ingeniously can as a supplemental instrument panel display. It comes with a heater vent mounting kit and a magnetic back plate, can access to car HUD display to monitor such as engine speed or battery voltage.

Update: the connection to the bluetooth feature to my android phone was easy. Download the app from the android store. Open the app to the diagnostic test section (waiting for bluetooth signal). Plug the connector to your vehicle. Turn the car on. The bluetooth connection syncs almost immediately once the car is turned on and powers the device.

I ran the diagnostic test on my car and immediately got the trouble codes that caused my check engine light to turn on: P0304 and P0430. It also captures your VIN so you can save your vehicle in case you are testing on multiple vehicles. Nice feature. The diagnostic report is saved in the app so you can recall it as needed.

Sounds like a lame advertisement. "Quality of the connector is good", etc.

Haven't seen OBD reader with a "bad quality connector". Or one that doesn't give you codes. Or any other feature you describe. It all sounds like a generic marketing language.

There are tons of OBDs at a fraction of the price. No need for overpriced product placement on this site.
