Jarod has a spectacular aura aboutJarod has a spectacular aura about
ODB2 scanner for iPhone, iPad

That the check engine and emission service required lights are showing up every other day, drives me bonkers.

Thus I am going to by an ODB2 scanner to get rid of the messages. Most of you are using the Equus Innova 3100usm OBD2 scanner. But I am wondering if there is a tool which can be used with the iPhone or iPad. I found this one:

Is anyone using this scanner? Does it work with the AM?
I know some are using it with Porsche.

Thanks, J

The OBD2 i/f is standard, so any of the Bluetooth gizmos should work with the AM. Up to you if you want to pay more $$$ or just buy one of the cheapo ones on eBay. I did the latter and it works fine on AM V8V with the Torque app on Android (there are other apps for iPhone too).
