That one is $24 and worked fine with a Galaxy Note and a Galaxy S4, but it's a little long and may stick down far enough to interfere with your leg while you drive. There are some shorter ones in the same price range.

I have also used the ScanTool OBDLink LX ($60) and the MX ($100), both of which I got on sale for much less than those prices during Black Friday and Christmas sales. The only real advantages are that they're shorter than the BAFX, and they have an auto-off feature to keep from draining your battery. But like I said, there are other short adapters that are much cheaper. And you don't really need the auto-off feature unless you have a charging issue or leave your car sitting for long periods of time. I just saw them at a big discount and grabbed them.
