Default OBDII bluetooth,
Anyone using one of these?

Yeah I've used similar from ebay - think mine was around £20.
It works well with the Torque app on Android on my phone.
The cheap scanners can be a bit hit and miss though... and slow...

JDM is SSM, not OBDII.

Works for some codes, but generally no use I believe.

The Bluetooth things are good value though, seen them used to good effect.

SSM is Subaru Select Monitor, which is the protocol used on JDM Scoobs instead of OBDII.

The ports are the same. I believe the latest Torque app does support SSM, so you may be able to use it.

Here you go, have a read.

Looks like perhaps those readers don't support it, but the app does.

From what I've read mate you need to get a different Bluetooth sender thing that can read SSM. Once you have one of those, should all work ok....
