Confirmed Working

Adapter Chip Status Notes
vLinker MC+ STN2120 Works Recommended. Fast, reliable.
VEEPEAK BLE+ ELM327 clone Works Works. Non-standard BLE setup handled automatically.

Requirements

CellPulse requires a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) OBD-II adapter. Classic Bluetooth adapters (the ones that pair in iOS Settings) will not work — iOS does not allow apps to use Classic Bluetooth.

How to tell: If the adapter pairs in your phone's Bluetooth settings, it's Classic Bluetooth and won't work. BLE adapters connect directly from within the app without pairing.

The adapter must support:

Most ELM327 v1.5+ and STN-based adapters support these. Cheap v1.3 clones may not.
