    I use that one myself. It doesn't support Apple, only Android.

    There's a cross-platform OBD adapter made by PLX, i.e., KIWI 3

    Dang, that's pricey for an OBD-II Bluetooth adapter. Pretty cool that it can record data to a memory card without a connection to a phone or tablet. I wonder if the data capture rate is adjustable?

    I use a Lemur BlueDriver- if it's good enough for ChrisFix, it's good enough for me. $100ish in Canada

    Be careful with the chinese clone ELM327 dongles, make sure to read the reviews on them before getting one. I had a few cheap ones and they worked, but the connection was spotty and I could only get about 10-15 updates per second (there's a adapter status page in Torque Pro that shows this). They all would eventually die on me so I bit the bullet and bought a ScanTool OBDLink LX for $50, and it's night and day difference. The connection is much more stable, and I can get around 50 updates per second with it, and it supports switching between HS-CAN and MS-CAN automatically (Mirages don't have MS-CAN but it's a cool feature to have). Their native app is really nice too, though it does work with Torque, etc.

    Most are not aware of these "bad" clones and are lured by their cheap price.

    Im updating this thread since i tried again the OBD2 i posted before with my android because the device was kept in my tool box for a long time. hehe

    its working with my mirage 2015 gls and i used torque app.

    There is something with this OBD, it triggers some kind of feature when i plugged this thing.

    Once plugged in, and if i leave my door open driver side, i can hear a sound tone, not the same as the car alarm but same tone as when you leave your keys inside the car and tried to lock it from outside by the push button on the driver side door it somekinda chirpping.

    ill post some pics and video later.
