Elm327 Bluetooth OBD2 diagnosis tool Review

The item showed up on time, and works perfect. The only issue I have had is extremely slow data feed, which I attribute to my phone having too many background apps running. I will try to remedy this issue and update my review accordingly. It was easy to pair with my phone(PIN to pair is 1234) and connects very quickly when I start my car. Provides feeds on all applicable readings for my car.
Update:
As suspected, the slow data feed was caused by my phone. This issue has been cleared up. The bluetooth reader works great. A couple of readings don't show up, but this could be because there are no sensors in the car's system to provide them. I am very happy with this product and, based on my results, would recommend this product to anybody who wants a helpful tool for tuning a car, or would just like to keep an eye on the car's workings.

I purchased this product knowing that it might not be the best Bluetooth OBDII interface on the market. I use it to interface with Torque on a Motorola Droid.
The product is housed in hard plastic and seems very well put together. It does not seem prone to breakage and easily survives drops of five feet to solid pavement with minimal cosmetic damage.
As for connectivity I have not experienced any interruption while driving with the phone fixed to the center console (approx. distance from phone to device no more than one meter).
I have not attempted to use the software that came with the device. In fact, I'm fairly sure that I've thrown it away. Torque is well worth the extra few dollars and having logs on hand in the phone that I use day to day is useful.
I've used this product to read codes for several family members although this service is provided for free by many automotive supply outlets. Combined with an iphone or android based phone and good software it provides data readouts which in my opinion makes it well worth the price. It's also nice to know that with the same software one can increase gas mileage by improving driving efficiency.
Overall I rated this product as five stars because it is inexpensive when compared to other devices and serves it's function admirably.
