Anyone use the new Android Bluetooth OBDII scanners?

Just wondering if anyone has used the Bluetooth OBDII scanners on any cars. I'm thinking of getting one for my Lexus SC430. I have Durametric for my Porsches, but need something to read and clear codes on other cars. Sorry I'm asking on this forum, but the Lexus forum won't let me register. Says my IP address is not real???? Strange. The Z forums are no help because those are ODB1...300ZX Twin Turbo. Thought I'd just ask because people on here have tons of great info. Thanks for any input.

I used this with the Torque app on my android. Needed to buy 2 to get one that worked for more than a day. But #2 has been working for several years now.

Yup, I have one as well. It's a no name but works great for basic fault reading and clearing. Used it on a bunch of cars without issue.

Do you have another android device like a tablet or someone else phone that you can try. I have heard that some of these can be doa.

I use this device to feed this track/datalogging app (the pro version).

WOW. Thanks for all the feedback. It seemed too good to be true, but lots of good reviews. It's so cheap. I really appreciate the replies. Thanks. I'll order one today.
