OBD Dongle recommendations?

Mgaz · 24th September 2018, 23:52

Just after some advice on buying a decent OBD bluetooth reader.

Is there any difference between them? Or will cheapest do?

I want to use it on both my ZT 190 and mg mk2 ZS TD.

I plan on using it with an app on my phone like the torque app maybe?

Are some faster at reading the live data than others? And are any capable of reading fault codes and resetting them ?

So.. any recommendations for all the above requiments ?

I have one like the above ... Reads my Cowley and my fathers newish Insignia but has issues with my friends 03 CDT

Oh and i did reset a fault code on the Insignia but yet to get any on mine so can't help there. Works with both Torque and Car Scanner on Android.

What sorts of issues do you have?

Also , do you find the info displayed to be in real time? As in the rev counter matches the virtual gauge ? Or is there lag/sluggishness jerry response?
