The Universal Mini II is a compact ELM327 interface with Bluetooth 4.0. You plug it into the OBD2 port and then wirelessly read fault codes and live data using an app on your smartphone, tablet or laptop.

The interface draws its power from the OBD2 port and barely protrudes, so it does not get in the way of your legroom. An affordable solution for basic diagnostics: reading the check engine light, clearing fault codes and monitoring sensor values.

PROS

✔Wireless — Bluetooth 4.0 to phone or tablet.
✔Compact — Barely protrudes from the OBD2 port.

✔Many apps — Works with common ELM327 apps.

CONSIDERATIONS

✕Basic diagnostics — Mainly engine and emissions.
✕App-dependent — The app determines the functions.

This OBD device didn't work with my iPhone. Exchanged it in the store and tried it immediately on a simulation device. Very good service.
