great OBD2/Bluetooth device, works with iPhone/iOS

I've been using it for nine months now and it works great! I am using this on an iPhone. You will need to purchase software to do this, but it should work with many OBD2 applications. I use OBD Fusion ($10) and it works great, allowing you to customize the app's toolbar, read and clear codes, etc. This app has a fast response mode that will drain your phone's battery faster, but get you even faster than the standard speed supplied. (The default is probably one update per second.) This device has no support issues. It's a flat device and of course it doesn't have any cables to connect to - you just plug in the device itself and it's powered via the OBD2 connector. (I think all cars in the US since 1996 should have standard OBD2 connectors.) I use this on a 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII and a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. No problem when switching between vehicles. My only disappointment is that I was hoping there would be a power button or that it would turn off automatically after the car turned off so I could leave it plugged in without draining the battery. But it stays on all the time - you can't connect unless the key is in the 'work' position, but it's still getting enough power to keep the LEDs blinking. I accidentally left it plugged in a couple of times and it's not enough to kill the battery overnight, but I still don't want to leave it plugged in all the time. (Obviously, this wasn't a huge issue for me to lower my score.) Oh, and speaking of LEDs, they're easy to see when you're looking at the device, but they don't distract me while driving because The OBD2 ports are under the dash on both of my cars, so while driving you can't see the light at all, even in your peripheral vision. I suspect most cars are like that, but if you can see your OBD2 port directly while driving, you might end up putting tape or something on it to hide the lights.
