ALL the Bluetooth adapters will write, assuming you use the Torque Pro app on it, which is the way to go. They will also live scan and do just about anything that fancy one will do, and with a much better screen if you have a tablet. You probably can do much more. Torque is really only limited by what the CAR can do over OBDII; if the PID is there, Torque will display it, graph it, alarm it, or whatever. Cheap wired adapters, whether they write or not, really have no place in the modern world unless you just can't figure out how to use a smartphone app.
Your point about the maps is valid, assuming you DO want to reset those.
