Known problems with china clones of ELM327

[Barleyman]

Download page recommends Vlinker FD adapters, which are quite cheap, links to aliexpress etc.

The good kind of Chinese junk I'd say, I bought the BT one and it works fast and reliable, unlike the clone rubbish I got earlier. After all, that's what Mr Forscan recommends so it should work!

I would just be careful as there seems to be poorly made clones of the vlinker BT adapters now as well. The front interface of the adapter looks different physically so it shouldn't be hard to identify which is a fake and which is real. Vlinker FS usb models can be found on there as well for ~25$ shipped thru AliExpress, had I known that I wouldn't have played the elm327 roulette.
