Thanks for the info guys. I ended up ordering the foseal wifi dongle from amazon earlier today. It has decent reviews and another DW user stated he was using it on another post.

I use an Iphone 6 and Dash Commander App. The OBD Fusion works as well. You may have to mess around with the setting in order to sync the phone to the dongle.
It does use wifi which shuts off your LTE signal, so, you can't Use Pandora or any other internet apps. The real time temp and instant MPG's are a nice feature. I also figured out my speedometer wasn't calibrated correctly. 4MPH to slow. So if I was going 45mph it read 41-42mph. May have saved me from a few tickets over the years, who knows.
Thats lame! With my Android, I can be connected via bluetooth to the OBD2, and my stereo at the same time, all while playing Pandora.
Yea it is lame. still works good though and I don't use a lot of real-time stuff unless I'm running down an issue.
If you get an OBDII adapter that uses Bluetooth 4.1 you can connect to it and simultaneously play music over BT to your stereo streamed to your iPhone over WiFi or LTE. (at least with an iPhone SE and Kiwi3 adapter)
..but does Bluetooth 4.1 support playing music with the engine via OBD?

No, you got me there. Then again I haven't tried it on a French car and they do have some pretty wacky engineering.....
