Hey guys. I've been having a look into this tonight as I have seen it mentioned many times on here. I have a couple of questions if anyone could help? Which is the best app to download and which OBD adapter would be the best to go for? I've had a look around and the prices range from five quid right up to ninety. I can only image the cheap ones are pretty useless?

Thanks in advance.

    Forscan for the laptop is best . I've got the laptop version and the forscan lite for Android on my phone

    As for adapters you need an elm 327 adapter. A usb one best for laptop and WiFi for phone. All depends what you want from forscan really.

    Adapters to buy from, I use tunnelrats adapters.
