I bought a cheap Chinese knockoff of a ELM327 Bluetooth Scanner to use with the Torque app. Works fine in my 09 Subaru, but won't work in the Jeep. What brand is working for you guys? Pics or purchasing hyperlinks would be really helpful. Thanks.

The Tourque App owner recommends this one.

Works very well in my Sprinter. Works well on the CRD for awhile before it stops. I believe this is an issue with the Jeeps ECU.

I have two, a cheap Chinese one and then recently bought a higher end OBDLink LX. Both work in my jeep with the OBDLink LX maybe being slightly more stable, but they both lose connection after a while. This is pretty typical from what I hear though.

The other thing is that you need to set the correct OBD protocol in the vehicle profile in Torque for it to work right. From my experience, if you dont specifically tell Torque to use ISO9141-2 it wont automatically choose that protocol and you may not get any readings even thought it says its connected.
