You'd be wrong. I have a "real" OBDII scan tool as well. Torque reads any code that real one was able to pick up on and clears them. The adapter I got was the $99 Kiwi

If you can't see your phones screen in the sun light to read engine codes, you probably have a shit phone and can't see it to make phone calls. I browes, text, watch movies and OBDII fault codes on my phone (Droid razr maxx) in the sun light with no problems. Also, it'll do a whole lot more than just fault code scans.
