- Are the Bluetooth adapters reliable, or is it better to buy a USB version and use a laptop?
- There are some cheap adapters on eBay, or is it better to spend the extra on a OBDLink device. The EX would be under NZ$100 from the US.

I've had my sub $20 ebay elm 327 device for 8 years and it's working like it did day 1.
Go for version 1.5. I heard version 2.x had a lot of issues.
