Vgate iCar2 Wi-Fi Adapter OBD2 Scanner Scan Tools Check Engine Light Car Diagnostic Tool for iOS & Android, Auto Sleep (Black)

I used this for the Bimmer Code on my 2014 238i.

I purchased this Vgate wifi OBDII adapter to use with the LeafSpy Pro app for monitoring battery health on a 2013 Nissan Leaf. My iOS phone easily connected to the wifi, and I had to restart the App a couple of times to get it to recognize and connect to the Vgate, but it worked after a couple of attempts! (I consider this an issue with the App, not with the OBDII adapter)

I had been using a different OBD2 wifi adapter with on/off switch prior but the on/off switch died after less than a year of use. I like the Vgate adapter as I can just keep it plugged in and it goes into sleep mode when not in use. Sure, time will tell how long the button function last but thus far I can highly recommend it.

It works with with my Android phone connected to its wifi network and using Torque. The link is fast and no issues with streaming data. My main concern is that you seem to be stuck with the default SSID and password for the wifi network. I can't find a way to change either of these settings, and don't want to leave an open network connected to my ECU. I tried connecting to the adapter's IP with a web browser and it does bring up a login page, but the password is unknown and I didn't see any details about what it would be in the user manual either. If these two settings were adjustable I would have given this 5 stars. Some people might think this isn't a big deal, but my BRZ's ECU can be completely reprogrammed from the OBD port, so the wrong person with access to this could do some real damage.
