Cheap OBD dongle on WISH

Buddy tipped me off to this cheap OBD2 blutooth dongle on Wish. 

https://www.wish.com/product/5d50ccfe5e85b4120ec961b9

$5 shipped... 

I've got one incoming... 

Let us know how it works in 2 months when it shows up lol. Seriously though I spend way too much money and time on my overnight shift buying crap I don't need on wish. 

Amazon has them for $10 any time you want, and you'll have it in two days. Just sayin'... 

In reply to MazdaFace :

I will report back.my buddy ordered a couple as well. He already has 1, and ordered a few for his fleet. 

I bought one on ebay a few years ago. It worked pretty well w/the free torque app.  $10 well spent, IMHO

I have a seemingly identical one also. Works as well as any cheap OBDII dongle does.

came back to report this does indeed work great. Arrived in late-ish October and has been extremely handy.

 

I need to find one that works.  I tried a $10 Amazon and an $18 amazon, neither of which worked at all despite saying they DO work with all of the apps I tried.

I kinda gave up the search because the only OBD2 vehicle I have is currently not in use.  The next newest thing I have is a 94 Mazda.

In reply to Curtis :

See my recent words in this thread.  The Dr.Prius app has an indepth review/study on these things.  I bought their recommended PanLong model for $8.78 after coupon code and it has been great.  

I've found them to be hit or miss depending on the vehicle and when you plug it in.  
Personally I'm sticking to using a corded setup as primary.  I've got 3 corded scanners and 1 bluetooth that I know where it is.  another bluetooth that's floating around somewhere (black elm327) and a 3 rd more proprietary bluetooth one that my buddy has I think (faslink j2)

I'm quite skeptical about buying obd dongle on wish but I'll take your word on it and buy one for myself. I'll also check on bestobd2scanners and see if they have reviews on OBD2 that are being sold on wish.

In reply to Whodunit :

It's literally a PCB board with a plastic housing. 

We're paying for what we get and nothing more. But it's small enough to leave in all the time and it pairs very quickly with my phone and Torque app every time I use it. 

And I used it a bunch when I was having my VTEC issues on my civic. For $5... it's a very solid deal. 

Which blue dongle you get is hit and miss , DrPrius did checks and most of the blue ones were cheaply made and might have up to 1.5 ,. but none had 2.0

If they work for the readings you want great , not sure if anyone has checked how accurate they are , just if they connect.

Mine is WiFi  and the main problem I have is remember to turn off the house WiFi on the phone so the dongle will connect !

I use this one I got off Amazon and it works great! https://amzn.to/2PUxJ14 (Affiliate Link)

is there an "app"  to use these with a Windows laptop ?
