2G OBD2 for iPhone?

MasterMatt209 · Feb 10, 2015

Hey guys I wasn't sure where to post this but I think it will fit in here since I am a newbie and its maintenance related, I want to buy an OBD2 device that will connect to my iPhone via chord, Bluetooth, or wifi it doesn't really matter as long as it works because I have this app that will track fuel read codes and all that good stuff, it's dashcommand. Question is what device can I buy that will work with my phone? Anyone here have anything like what I'm talking about? All help is appreciated

Why not from the Dashcommand web site ?

The PLX kiwi is also a possibility.

That's what I have using dash command.

Now for me being 100% Megasquirt now it doesn't do me any good on my DSM.

it's still handy to have for my reg cars to check CEL codes and for long drives so I can actually get real numbers instead of somewhere on an arbitrary gauge with no scale.

The ones on dashcommand are about $200 I was trying to find one that would work but be cheap

How does the saying go?

Fast. Cheap. Reliable. Pick two.

I think this saying fits perfectly in this situation.

Go to Amazon and search WiFi Elm 327. I got mine for like 15$ shipped. You have to have a wifi one to connect to an iPhone. Any other questions PM me!

That definitely says "Android ONLY" in the title. OP is asking about iPhone.

I bought a cheap android dongle and an Android tablet off of craigslist for like $20 so I have a dedicated reader. It was cheaper and more convenient for me than buying something with Apple support

Oh! Sorry! I was commenting on the ELM327 chip.

TehRiceBandit is corrent, this product won't work for the iPhone!

MasterMatt209 · Feb 26, 2015

Thanks for the help guys I'm gonna get one with Apple wifi support
