Best Bluetooth OBD2 Dongle?

[Severdog]

Hi all…first Check Engine Light popped up last night…i am off to Autozone shortly to have them pull the code and start on that process.
It’s time to step up my diagnostics game….if i run an app like Torque on my phone, what OBD2 bluetooth dongle would you recommend? There are hundreds on Amazon. Would like the ability to monitor PIDs live once I get past the CEL. (And obtw no heat exchanger leak!) thanks

I like the OCTech OBDLink MX+. https://www.obdsoftware.net/scantools/obdlinkmxplus. It works well with the FORScan Lite app.

Just from my personal experience, if it costs <$30, it may work fine or it may not work away all. I bought 2 knockoffs, both worked with my car, one didn't work in 3 other vehicles I tried it with, the other kinda worked (pulled DTCs, but couldn't reliably monitor data). I bought a genuine ELM327 adapter that was ~$60 and it has worked on everything. The one @JEB linked to above is probably the safest bet.
