I want to buy the wi fi obdII hookup but I want to be sure others have used it.  Is it found easily by the wifi computer?  I would love to leave my laptop inside on rainy days and just throw the wifi unit in the customers car outside and communicate.  This can also be used with an android phone too?  Thank you.

I've personally used USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, and about all of the others (I guess you could say its my job Smiley ). I've never had an issue using WiFi with Windows. However, WiFi won't work with Android. You'll need to use Bluetooth on Android.

If your laptop is Bluetooth-enabled, Bluetooth should work on it just as well as WiFi. If its not, you can usually get a little Bluetooth USB adapter for around $30. Bluetooth seems a little more stable than WiFi usually. The OBDLink Bluetooth also has a USB plug on the other side, so you can still take your laptop out to the car if you ever need to.
