Notes and references

  1. Dongle works on most other OBD Android apps I tried, but OSC would not connect after many attempts.
  2. WiFi version only! While connected to a WiFi dongle, you will not have internet access on Android.
  3. To maintain internet connectivity, connect to the dongle using a static IP address / netmask / gateway rather than using DHCP
  4. Dongle works on most other OBD Android apps I tried, but OSC would not connect after many attempts.
  5. BLE dongle works on most other OBD Android apps I tried, but OSC would not connect after many attempts.
  6. Generic blue mini BT OBD device from Ebay (China). Worked on older version of OSC app (version 2.1.4) that ran on android 4.4.4, does not work on the latest version of OSC (2.9.1) on android 8.1.0
