cheap wifi obd2 dongle

I ordered this from eBay.

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/385282553602...mis&media=COPY

My phone and bm3 connects to it no problem. I haven't tried flashing with it, but the dashboard shows all the readings just fine. Haven't tried logging anything since it's cold and icy everywhere.

Anyone had any experience flashing with these cheap china brand adapters?

iPhone or Android?

I tried a vendor version on my N55 F30 and couldn't get it to work with Android. Trying to find someone that has made one of these work with it.
Nice find.

Android. It's a Samsung s9.

Seems good. Seems to connect every time I join it's wifi.

I haven't tried flashing yet but I've driven around with bm3 open and it stays connected and shows data.

Just bumping this up because I've recently done a bunch of flashes and this wifi dongle is solid. Super fast and ive had no disconnects.

If you're using ethernet, this is a great cheap alternative
