Hello, there are several types of OBD scanners. A wired gadget is a relic of the past. No one will pull the laptop into the car for diagnostics every time. Working with such a scanner while driving is problematic, and it costs only 20-25% cheaper than wireless models. Wi-Fi devices are not recommended by many users of these things. The network is most often created open without encryption, any neighbor can connect to the scanner without any problems. It takes up to a minute after launching the scanner to download and deploy the network; reconnecting to a smartphone or computer often does not occur automatically.
It is best to use Bluettoth models. Please note that the modules of the second and third versions work only with Android smartphones, iPhone owners should only look for versions with Bluetooth 4. In my opinion, one of the best OBD-II scanners, with one of the highest ratings on Amazon, is BAFX Products Bluetooth Diagnostic OBDII Reader / Scanner. It is compatible with Android and Windows and allows you to read Check Engine codes, reboot / clear Check Engine Light, read data from various car sensors, check if the car is ready to pass the exhaust emission test and much more. To work with the scanner, you need to download any third-party application.
You can buy instagram followers to increase their ammount.

the original poster wasnt clear what he wanted to use the dongle for?
is that BAFX scanner just a scanner or does it enable tuning as well like my OBD2 Lx dongle?
