What OBDII reader are you using with Torque?

I have an el cheapo I'd bought off Ebay a couple years ago, and it connects but none of the sensors show up in Torque. This thing works in my wifes new Kia, but not my 02' SR5. What would you guys recommend that actually works?

thanks

Reading on the official Torque site, https://amzn.com/B00FQJWFXA seems to be the most popular choice under $50. Can anyone confirm this will work on my 02?

I've got this one and it has worked fine for the past 2 years.

This is my current one: https://amzn.com/B01C6CZ0SQ and it reads all the KIA sensors, but cannot read anything from my 4Runner. (although indicates it is connected to it) A cheap wired code reader works fine but only gives error codes, I need to use Torque to see what my lean/rich percentages are to troubleshoot something.

This is the one I have:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Along with the reader, I highly suggest getting this OBDII extension with shut off switch so you don't have to pull your reader out every time. The reader will continue to pull a power draw even with the ignition off so if you let it sit long enough, it could drain your battery.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used velcro to affix the reader in the bottom tray under the cigarette lighter and ziptied the extra cable under the dash. I also wrote "on and off" with a sharpie. Other than the benefit of being able to keep the reader connected without worrying about draining the battery, I like that the reader is no longer near my right foot when I'm using the accelerator pedal. I've accidentally bumped it a few times with my foot but not hard enough to break anything. Now that it's out of the way, I don't have to worry about that either anymore. A final benefit is because the OBDII port faces downward, gravity is working against you. On a bumpy fire road, my reader actually fell out but I no longer have this issue anymore.

Here's some pics of my set-up:

You saved me searching my orders, Amazon told me it's the one I bought.

I like the extension.

The cable with the switch like mtbtim's works very well.

I've used two of the ELM27 style. They don't last banging around in the glove box. I gave up and bought a Scangauge.

Pulled the trigger on this one https://amzn.com/B005NLQAHS. $21.99 with free 2 day Prime shipping. I already emailed the manufacturer to make SURE it will work with my truck and Torque.

Yeah I was looking for a under $50 solution, ScanGauge is obviously better, but doesn't fit into my budget.

You got the right one. I have the same thing and it works great on my '02. Lots of imitators, but the "real" BAFX is super cheap anyway.
