OBDII reader for iphone

[crimson]

Hi all

 

I want an OBD reader thats Bluetooth and connects to iphone

 

I have had a look at the other thread but there appears to be a big variance in what model to buy, ie wifi and Bluetooth.

 

there also seams to be a variance on which model does what- do some only to torque ?

 

I have an iphone 5s the info so far appears to be on andrioid

 

Once again sorry for the newbie questions

Hi, mines on android but I use the torque pro app, check the Apple store for it. It cost £3 and I got the Bluetooth module for under a tenner from Amazon. It's fantastic! Would well recommend it.

Oh and here's a pic of a small fraction o what it measures

I use a wifi one with my iphone. Got it from eBay . I'll post a link once I'm home. Cost me £12 I think then £7 for the DashCMD app

i use a 6.99 Bluetooth via mobile and dash command on app radio 3/or phone, shows this and more you can customise the guages and the dashboard or use other skins etc. also you can run logs and play them back on the pc.

Bluetooth ones don't work with the iphone (AFAIK), so you will require a WIFI one.... and Dash command as stated is good :)

Ok so i ended up buying a Acer Windows Tablet that works

 

The only program i can find that works is a program called OBd dash pro:

There are so many options i have no idea what i am doing, what are the main things i should be looking at using ?

Ive downloaded 'Dashcommand' but can someone tell me what module to buy for Android please

[stants]

Torque app, and Any cheap dongle from the bay will work

[YODI]

Thanks, bought a dongle just now but from a UK seller, for the price of a Beer it's nothing to really worry about but nice to know its easy to swop if it doesn't work etc.

I downloaded Dashcommand as Matt posted the pics above, it's free anyway but if there's a better app I can download that, no issues buying the app either

[stants]

I got this although it won't work with me odb1

[YODI]

This is the dongle I bought, I'll play with the apps and buy it properly when dongle is here and I know it works :)

 

Is it better to connect on Bluetooth or wireless?

I can't get Dashcommand to communicate with my dongle, tried everything? It does work with another free OBD ap I downloaded just to try though

[stants]

I'm afraid I can't help as not used dash command, although I know some of them do struggle to communicate with the dongles as they are only really cheap copies, but for a fiver it's worth a punt,

There may be settings in the dash command app to make it talk better to the dongle.
