Guys/girls

Looking for a bluetooth OBD2 reader, there are loads about at varying prices, could someone recommend one they have and confirm it works with the MR2

If you are Apple based, go for a WiFi option dongle.  Apple sometimes doesn't quite make the connection via Bluetooth.

Just checking that your car is a UK spec for OBD2?  JDM cars that have been imported need a different connection dongle.
