Can someone point me in the direction of a good elm327. The cheap one I bought doesn't have the AT commands Leaf Spy needs. Thanks, happy new little leaf owner.

This one worked for about a week:
This one worked very well--for one day:
The "new" ones have dropped support for the commands needed to communicate with the Leaf. They are less capable than the "old" ones. They like to label them as version 2.1 but they are actually not even at the version 1.5 level. They just give it a newer name and give you a cheaper product. If it does not work with the current Lite version it will not work with the other versions of LeafSpy.knightmb said:I bought this one this week Mini V2.1 OBD2 OBDII Bluetooth Interface Auto Viecar Car Diagnostic Scanner Adapter Reader Scan Tool for Android and everything is good up to the point where LeafSpy complains it is "too new" of a version of the ELM327? Is that just a limitation of the free "Lite" version or an indicator that the Pro version will have the same issue?

It's a shame the newer version throws out the useful stuff, what happens if they stop selling the v1.5? Or is the newer version just for some specific types of vehicles and the v1.5 will always be available?

But it still doesn't work as LeafSpy Lite reports the following message:
"Your ELM327 doesn't support the AT command SH required..."
Is the device version reported correctly? If it is, then why are the commands not supported on v1.5?
Thanks

Bummer! I bought one that looks identical to that via http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009F4JHHO on Amazon in late June 2015 sold by "ToysNGamesEtc" and it works perfectly. I use it all the time.Garba said:After reading about the v1.5 vs v2.1 issue about AT commands here on the forum, I ordered this one which Leaf Spy Lite also reports as v1.5 when connected to the device.
