The Ebay ones are generally hit and miss...

Best to buy one which always gets good feedback: http://www.obdkey.com/

(I bought the Bluetooth one it works flawlessly)

I'm just waiting for an Android native version of ECUTracker so I can get it working with SSM protocol. Currently just using OBD2 so it doesn't have advantage of increased polling and some extra PIDs such as knock correction etc.

if you have a Winmobile or Symbian phone you probably have other apps which may support SSM.
