What dongle are you using? Can’t help if you don’t include this important info! If it’s a blutooth version, it’s because apple doesn’t allow alot of Bluetooth devices to hook up ( gps’s, OBDII, ect) you need to jailbreak and install roqyBT/roqyOBD, this will allow interface with BT obdII scanner’s.

Obviously if you want to spend time building your own OBDII wireless kit and try and chop the price by some 40% – fine. But the software itself isn’t very advanced, even version 2.0. Latency can also be a problem. If you are serious about getting all the log and fault info you need, stick to a USB type OBDII interface, and get a much more advanced piece of software. You’ll save yourself a hell of a lot of money. Otherwise just get a decent scanner.

Buy the app! ..you won’t be sorry :-)

And don’t leave the Kiwi Wifi dongle connected for more than a couple of days. I almost drained my large battery after having it connected 2 days with the car parked in the garage.

I damn hope it can read check codes after forking out hundreds of dollars.

I’ll be trying it on some newer cars than my 2002 VX-II LS1 commodore before I see if it’s buggered.
