Default OBD II for Mac

Anyone out there know of a rig (app plus OSB II to USB cable) that will work with my 1996 VDP and my Apple laptop or iPad? I want to be able to see real time data on what my ECM is reading.

Many thanks.

I use Yhasi Movi Pro.

You will need a laptop, but I believe it will do what you want.

Someone post a picture. Curious what this would actually look like.

I am a computer tech and usually relish my Jag as a minimal tech environment

Thanks Vee. But what cable do you use?

I use a wireless ELM27 connector. I bought in on eBay for probably less than $20.

You can buy a wired connector, I'm sure.

Yhasi Movi sells both as well, if you want it all packaged together... of course it'll cost you more.

I bought anELM327 of e-bay, it would not pair with "torque" I tried many different pairing codes. Got a friendly auto-electrician to do me a check with some very fancy equipment. Only fault found was a security issue - which we think was ancient and was deleted. I would still like to get a cheapo reader nevertheless.
