Hi guys,
Read lots about the Torque OBD2 scanner app for Android, do any of you know one that is for Apple iPhone? I found Lemur Blue Driver, free app. They want $100 for the blue tooth plug-in! Anyone know of/had experience with this app? Would a generic (read a cheaper one off of ebay) Bluetooth plug-in work with this app?

Thanks

 

iPhones have a proprietary bluetooth stack and it is not compatible with the ODBII readers that communicate via bluetooth. There are wifi enabled OBD readers which will work with iPhones, and you can download a variety of iPhone apps that will work on the phone.

 

I use the Kiwi reader which works on wireless, not bluetooth (not cheap at £100 or so) and DashCommand software. But in fairness it does what it says on the tin. I use it on my iphone 5 and my iPad with no operating issues - works every time.

 

Haven't bought it yet but downloaded the app (free) It's called iOBDII and sells on eBay for about $65. Just haven't had the need to purchase yet(touch wood).

 

So can someone tell me if this app works on my 2001 XJR?

 

May be cheaper to get a low-end Android tablet + elm327 bluetooth just for this one use.

 

....or an old used Android phone on ebay for 20 bucks or so.

 

I use the Torque Pro with the elm... Only cost me £14 for the lot....... You can add multiple profiles so not just for one car I have all 3 of my Rs and both 8s rigged up on it
