This is a great ODB II dongle that connects well with my Android phone using the bimmer-tool app (I use this in a BMW) but other apps are available that cover different brands of cars. Some free and some paid.
The dongle connects easily to the car and the phone. Using the bimmer-tool app (sold separately) I was able to read and clear error codes, watch live data from the cars components and compare actual vs expected values on things like Air Mass, Throttle position, Turbo actuation etc as well as schedule a DPF regeneration
All this functionality does come from the app and not the dongle itself but the dongle connects easily and maintains a stable connection even whilst driving when I took the car for a drive and left the unattended app collecting live data.
It is important to maintain a stable connection because an unstable connection can cause problems if you lose signal during an operation i.e. clearing codes or coding an option to the ECU
This has already saved me some money in diagnostic fees given that many garages charge between £50-80 for a scan
