Carly dongle troubleshooting

I have a Carly wi-fi dongle I purchased from Amazon and I can't seem to get it to work. When I plug it into the car OBD2 connector I get a single red light. From my iphone/ipad I am able to see the carly wifi and get an IP on DHCP. When I start the app and try to connect I see a yellow light on the adapter blink on for half a second then back off and the app just sits there trying to connect. I get the iphone "waiting" animation until it times out. Should I be seeing any other lights on the adapter before or during the connection attempt? I've tried a variety of settings on the adapter as well as the troubleshooting steps that support sends no matter what questions I ask. Is the adapter generic enough that I can connect it to another (non-bmw) car and somehow verify the adapter is working or not? Is the adapter compatible with any other code reading apps? I'd hate to order another adapter and have the same issues.
