I have a mini Bluetooth adapter that needs long nosed pliers to get out, will it drain the battery if I leave it plugged in?

I would say it will drain battery , though I left mine in by accident for three days and it didn't effect anything.

My first two ELM327's failed, just received a 3rd and this one won't work from the off

I'm thinking of just ditching using Torque Pro.

Funny this post cropped up!
Guy at work has a bluetooth obd reader, he usesmit on his samsung phone with no problems. I was about to buy one but he siad to try his first so i downloaded all the free bluetooth apps on my iphone...
The iphone willmconnect with the bluetooth ones.
You need a wifi one, they start at about £15 on amazon.

Ive still not bought one lol

Is your car a uk one? as I think they have a different ecu.

At that time the JDM model cars were not OBD II compliant, I think only the later JDM cars from the Blobeye were compliant.

I know as my first Bugeye STi S202 would not connect to my OBD VI Monitor.

Thanks for info, I will give up trying with it.

I have Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, some ebay sellers list the Bluetooth adapter as not compatible with Samsung so I don't even know what the issue is. Car, adapter or phone.

As said earlier , my Samsung works fine on blutooth one.

Looking like faulty adapters then. They weren't that cheap either. £15 and £10, the latest has a on off switch but I've since found out reading amazon reviews that the switch only knocks the bluetooth signal off.

Cheap Chinese rubbish.

RS_Matt

Cheaply made that is.

10 pound is pretty cheap though ? Cant expect too much , but all I know is mine works. I have a mate that got one for his evo at the same time as me . He has sold the evo , do u want me to see if he will sell his for a tenner ?

in another thread, ppl rated this one

Cheers, but I think I'm going to try one of the more common £6/7 jobbies thast a few folks have linked to on here. Maybe the cheaper ones are less fragile.

FOR ALL IPHONE USERS, search the App Store for DashCommand this app used to be £35 and is now only £7, still expensive I know but looks the best one out there.

It's a great bit of kit and works well with cars running oem ecu's. I am using the kiwi with mine, expensive but works perfectly. But it does not work with the Scoob as running a simtek

Can anyone confirm they've got Torque working with their Classic? I have an '00 car and have used Torque (and ebay adaptor) in loads of cars fine but the impreza just isn't having it for some reason.

Classics don't use OBD2, it wont work mate.
