There are also USB versions out there. This might be preferred for some for additional privacy. NOTE: USB does not appear to be supported by Carman!

According to my search my car supports OBD-II but how do I know where I connect it? How do I know this ELM327 tool supports it?

Found one on eBay UK for £29.99. It uses BlueTooth 1.2. This is even more insecure than 2.0 hence all the data can be read out by others! What BlueTooth version does the DealExtreme one support?
yes, Carman supports only Bluetooth until now, perhaps usb in future.
Your car support OBD, you must read your car manual and look for OBD, you will find exactly where it is located. You can find same info in many website, just use Google type your car model and OBD.

If your car is OBD II so, this Dongle support it. Any OBD II reader is compatible withh all cars using OBD II.

I don't understand your problem with secure connection. You are only reading data, you can't write it. So, what's the problem if others can read it?

they are in general more interested by the Bluetooth in your PDA than the one in your car .
