I thought there might be an update for this from the searches. Looking for a good iPhone app to read the elm327 wifi reader? There's quite a few out there but I was wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for our trucks! 2004 discovery btw... Thanks!
Obd2 app?

Will have to look into that. One question I looked at the website and could not find if the OBII would power the phone.

I have mine on a Galaxy S3 with a suction cup window mount. You can choose your gauge type and colors, plus a whole lot more. It can read more than information than our trucks have sensors for.

Nice, but will the OBDII power my phone, I also have an S3.
It's a bluetooth plug in for the OBD port, no power for the phone.

I just ordered one of these to replace my cigarette lighter since the factory one is an odd size and my charger doesnt like to stay in.http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Syst...0707990&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=12+vlt+dual+usb. I keep my phone plugged in whenever Im in the vehicle so battery life isnt really an issue. As a side note with this windshield mount I can also use the phones camera as a dash cam.http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-S...d=1400715212&sr=1-5&keywords=windshield+mount

I have an iphone so I picked a wifi enabled odb2 and downloaded engine link from the App Store. Very happy with both. 25 bucks for everything. I used to use a USB model and my laptop (paid for itself hundreds of times over), but this is great for mpg, engine temp, and if the ses pops up while away.
engine link with wifi for my iphone. i just need to stop leaving the connector in people's cars.
I use a $15 Bluetooth dongle with the TorquePro app. Works great. Swaps between vehicles quick and easy.
I also installed two normal cigarette plugs on my D1 that are always hot. Used flag terminals on the backside to keep the depth to a minimum.
