Forscan free version will do that. I have it and also bought an OBII reader off Ebay for another $20. You can use your phone with wifi, it's not as reliable as the OBII though...

I bought the OBDLink EX FORScan Adapter from Amazon and it has worked perfectly.

If you buy your ELM327 adapter from a reputable manufacturer/distributor, then you'll be fine. They're just cautioning you against the cheap knock-offs that are out there. The OBDLink adapters are good stuff.
