this is what you're looking for
If you came here for an adapter that'll work with Torque, you've found it. Using it on Samsung Galaxy S3, verified with stock ROM & AOKP, free and pro versions of Torque. TLDR: great support, works flawless, you'll be happy :)
I've seen many products marketed with bundled software, etc. for $100+ and many readers for hundreds more. This, plus the Android Torque app does all of that for under $30, and more than the cheapest standalone reader.
The 1st thing that impressed me (aside from flawless functionality at such a low price) was what came in the box - a sheet of paper that gave connection instructions for pairing this thing with the Torque app - the manufacturer and developer are not affiliated, but these guys recognized that many people are getting this adapter for use with the app and took the extra step to help its customers out. Awesome, A+ on support. It was very friendly and the other info makes them seem very open and approachable for further support. Awesome to know people stand behind their product and care about their customers.
Having said all that, I didn't even have trouble pairing or connecting w/ Torque. Worked flawlessly out of the box. This adapter is very unobtrusive (some dangle with a cord). Absolutely NO reason to get anything more expensive if all you need is an OBD-II>BT device.
I'm adamantly recommending this to friends and anyone interested in reading/clearing codes and monitoring performance who has a smartphone. The combination of this device and smartphone apps is yet another step away from the proprietary, industry-price-gouging dark ages that we are now being freed from due to the advent of modern-age indie/open-source developer business models. Hope all of this makes sense :)
