Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Predominantly for my 2019 Cayenne Turbo but be nice to use for an Audi S5 and a Smart EQ (don't laugh, it's the household shopping trolley).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any recommendations for a Bluetooth ODB2 dongle? Not interested in using it for coding, just to connect to apps like dash command/torque pro etc for information, battery monitoring, fault code reading and so on. Predominantly for my 2019 Cayenne Turbo but be nice to use for an Audi S5 and a Smart EQ (don't laugh, it's the household shopping trolley).

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So no benefit with the more expensive ones then?

POST 4Original post

You need suitable software - that shouldn't be 'in' the 'dongle'; it is just an interface so should be the cheapest part of the chain and useable on any car.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
