It looks like you have the right product. The real question should be, do you have the right supplier? I've seen advice elsewhere suggesting that the quality varies with some not working (and no warranty) and others work fine.
I was tempted to buy one of the $3 ones but then relied on reviews to pick out a $10 one on A*mazon a couple years ago. It came with useless instructions but did get it to pair with my phone after a few tries. I leave it plugged in all the time but set LeafSpy to shutdown bluetooth when exiting.
There is at least one thread on here already with more info. Search the board for ELM, LeafSpy Dongle or such.
Good Luck!
