I got mine on ebay, paid $14, and it took maybe 1.5 weeks. Not too bad at all considering it came from Wuhan City, Hubei China

I got mine also from China but a differnent type (without the RS232 connector). I'm in Europe, so it might take a bit longer to reach us.

Yeah it's working well, but there's a story behind it...

The first module I had working started to act up after I put the heatshrink on, and after fiddling around with it, I decided to apply heat to the board and I flexed it a little bit. Figured it might be a dry solder joint and it sure was. After doing all that, the module worked perfectly again.

I got a replacement board from the seller and did everything again and this time around, applying heatshrink didn't mess anything up.

Mine arrived this week. It came with the heat shrink already on. I will see if I can get it installed this weekend, but so much else to do.

On a side note, it came with a catalog for the Chinese importer "bang good". I had a little bit of a laugh with all of the Engrish.

if you are referring to the AT commands, make sure it's in all CAPS. Yes, I had this issue when I was doing it recently and was wondering why I had been able to do it before, and not this time. Have a txt file ready with the commands ready so you can copy/paste

ex.
AT+VERSION
AT+BAUD8

OTG cable works 90% of the time on my galaxy Tab3. I still get random screen turning off (with settings set to never turn off screen)

Since my idiot gauges suck, this is used now.

Ok, i've tried connecting with 2 different computers and i can't get it to communicate or i'm doing it wrong. I've followed 2 different how-to's with no success.

Would anyone be willing to help me out if i mail you my adapter?
