Steve does it just hook up via bluetooth without having to plug anything into the OBD port?

The "Pro" version costs a couple of pounds and is far superior, apparently, but I wouldn't need the full range of extras.I'll plug it in later and take some screenies. Then I'll take a couple from the RAV which shows me reading and resetting a DTC code.QuoteDescriptionMeasure vehicle BHP & TorqueClear car OBD DTC faults,View data in Google EarthSee what your car is doing in realtime, get fault codes, sensor data and more!An OBD II engine ECU diagnostics tool that uses a cheap bluetooth ELM / OBD adapter to connect to your car OBD2 engine management system
MMMmmm now this looks quite interesting, do you leave the OBD doda perminantly plugged in (except when it's going for service)... Also, there must be something similar for the iPhone I guess

Do you have a link to the device you purchased. I've looked, and there are a few types, not sure if they can all do the job. Looks like some come with a mini cd with drivers, I presume for PC connection.
Anymore info or photos of the dongle and where it would be "inserted" ... in the car ?
supposedly apple have blocked some bluetooth devices from pairing with a non -jailbroken iphonethanks paul

They seem to have various prices and looks for basically the same devices - which one did you get shambles?
Shambles did you use it to erase any CEL lights ?
Can any of you guys comment on if you noticed any car battery drain issues?
Torque Light does, but it's rubbish, it was telling me somewhere around 80 to 90 l/100 km. I didn't play with the app settings, so it is possible that something in there needs to be changed to be more realistic.
