Can you provide the product's name, perhaps a link from lazada, olx or amazon?

Sadly they already doubled the price. I got mine on sale 2 years ago. Also went for the paid full Torque app.

That looks identical to this wifi version carried by a reliable vendor I've tried....

Sadly, much like God, OBD scantools are only remembered when needed. Allergic to guesswork, I prefer to equip cars w/ Scangauge2. Reads/Clears codes; gives you real time gauge readings like coolant/intake/*tranny(*in some)temps, voltage, HP, speed, RPM; can do speed, time logs; shows fill volume need to full tank & more. They warn you before things start failing.

Will this work for diesel? Or I need a separate scanner for diesel?

As long as it has an ECU and an OBD2 socket, yes.

Thanks! The reviews from amazon seems favorable. I'll probably just buy this from amazon.

This branded elm327 product seems better than the generic ones. The BT version is cheaper by $10.

Haven't tried, but w/ mzdconnect on bluetooth, wifi version should make your android go on multi-task mode?

I think that should work but I reckon that would quickly drain the android phone's battery. For those who don't need to use the OBD-II scanner while driving, the BT should be enough.

Found another OBD-II scanner that seems good also (at least based on majority of Amazon reviews)

BAFX is good, too. That has been around for some time now.
Smartphone OBD apps like Torque got gauges. I've developed the habit of monitoring the engine's behavior thru them. Rarely is the scan function needed, but when the CEL pops, you'll be grateful.[emoji4]
