Which ODBII dongle for ABRP?
I have a collections of dongles that worked to a degree with my previous ICE cars.
I have a couple from Ali express ELM 327 clones

Neuestes OBD ELM 327 V2.1 OBDII-Diagnosetool Super Mini ELM327 BT OBD2 Auto-Scanner-Adapter WIFI V1.5 für Android/PC/IOS - AliExpress 34

that work to a degree and show battery SOC in the Torque apps, but doesn't in ABRP. I have another in ABRP.

Is there one dongle that works with everything Torque and ABRP and can you provide a link and your experiences

Hi there,

I bought the Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) OBD2 as it was one of the devices that Iternio listed as having reports of reliable connections for direct connection to ABRP. I had a different OBD2 connected via Torque Pro. When received the Vgate I tested it with Torque Pro and worked perfectly, I tested it with ABRP and has worked flawlessly since January 2024.

You can get the Vgate OBD from amazon:

I have the blue one like in your AliExpress page that I paid about £3 or so - works well with "Car Scanner" app but not really with "eZS" app - keeps getting stuck on connection to the app, only two or three times managed to get into eZS app.

Try them all until you find the best app and dongle combination ...

I have that blue one as well, eZS will sometimes say "Connected" but it seems to get stuck at 33% when trying to read out anything.

Worked perfectly with car scanner on multiple cars i have owned previously

Just found a guy selling one for £20, think i am going to try and buy that one

of the apps I tried, none show battery SOH (State of Health). At the service place when the technician checked it he showed me 100% and other stats. He used

That looks expensive, but gave a near complete view of the vehicle.

I have cheap £3 blue ODB2 dongle from AliExpress, like the one posted above, it works perfectly well with free version of Car Scanner and it shows SoH and loads of other details that I don't even know what to do with ...
