Obd Scanner To Ipad Application

[LegionMe]

As the technology is getting smaller and more portable I was thinking of hooking up a ODB scanner to my 2006 V36 350GT SP skyline and outputting the values onto a iPad mini.

I am trying to figure out what would be the best ODB Scanner to use? I have been told I need a wifi unit as the Bluetooth units won't talk to Apple as they speak different language.

I had a odd warning that through net searching found out it was to do with the oil however would prefer to have a scan tool to help me with these warnings if they happen again.

If anyone could point me in the right direction of an affordable unit that would be great.

I have searched on here and basically I can see the one that you need a XP laptop for however I would like one to use with an iPad not laptop.

thanks for any suggestions.

I got a Vgate odb2 scanner that works a treat on the wife's Ford however hopeless with the skyline.

HKS OB-link works great and it'll show CEL codes and such but you won't be able to clear them and it uses android.

I think you'll have trouble to find an OBD scanner with wifi, the ones I've seen all use USB, serial or bluetooth.

I don't use apple products and I understand that the ipad is what you probably what you have laying around, but it's probably easier if you get an android device with bluetooth.

*EDIT* After I did a quick and easy google search this came up....

So a PLX kiwi device is an OBD scanner with wifi. But unsure how well it will work with the V36.

The OBD-II is already available, the kickstarter project is to raise money for the software.

If you have minimal coding experience you could purchase the dongle right away and try it out.

The goal is to build an Apple ios app that will..

Our goal is to implement following features in the App:

• Loading history data stored in Freematics OBD-II Adapter
• Illustrating collected data into more professional and fancy charts
• Video logging in sync with data logging
• Video replay with overlaid data
• Lap timer
• Car performance benchmarking and comparison
• Re-programming / updating firmware for Freematics OBD-II Adapter
