Works great on iOS with the DashCommand app

This device is a great low cost alternative to an OBD II computer when paired with the $9.99 DashCommand iOS app. The Wi-Fi interface makes it very easy to connect to the device, you just select the OBDBOUTIK Wi-Fi network, then open DashCommand and it will automatically connect to your car wirelessly - no Bluetooth pairing required. I have 3 cars and can connect to each to read the engine codes and clear them if needed. I've already saved about $500 on repairs by being able to diagnose small problems and fix them myself. And if I need a more complex repair and need to take my car to the shop, at least I'll be notified of the problem and can avoid the $60 or more diagnostic fee. It's worth the price and cheap enough to get one for each of your vehicles and leave it plugged in for diagnostics once problems arise. The only complaint I have is nothing to do with the device - when I leave it connected to the car, my phone tries to connect to Wi-Fi, which obviously doesn't provide internet service, so I have to turn Wi-Fi off force the phone to use LTE for maps etc. while driving.
