If you go iPhone, you HAVE to go wifi adapter for REV etc I think. Bluetooth if your phone's running Android.

My Android phone is connected to the car via bluetooth and Torque (great app, only 3 quid from Android Market too)

In Progress:

E-Tuning remap ongoing via Cobb Accessport; Braided brake lines; Stubby aerial; Tinted repeaters and sidelights; 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid; 3" HTP Intake

Yep - that's what you get for picking Apple, a company well known for massive prices :lol:

Just buy a cheap android phone for £20 or so on ebay, and fit the bluetooth option - keep the android phone in the car. All told, probably still cheaper than the iPhone REV software and a decent wifi adapter...

I had one of those and it was **** - kept dropping the signal all over the place. Others have had them and been luckier, but I paid a bit more and got a Kiwi PLX bluetooth odb2 adapter - and it's never dropped a connection at all.

Plus that one is sticking out the ODB2 port at your shin while you drive (unless you remove and relocate the port anyways) :thumbup:
