+===== Two Words about Android Smartphones and OOBD =====
+Before you go to spend money for your own Android phone especially for OOBD, there's one important thing to know: OOBD is using the Bluetooth SPP Profile to communicate like on a serial port with the Bluetooth OBD Dongle. But at least in several low cost Android phones this profile is NOT implemented (they supporting only e.g. Headsets), so you need to make sure that your device supports Bluetooth SPP, other ways OOBD-Android will **not** work!
+After finding a device which supports SPP, another problem might occur: Several android device are affected by the so called "Device Zero" bug. This bug in the android bluetooth driver avoids, that our dongle can be found during the search process for new bluetooth devices. But as a work around there are some apps available which allows a manual pairing with a search before.
