Is there a good bluetooth OBD II scanner for iPhone?

As in the title...

A friend of mine showed me an Android app (I forget the name) which looked like a fantastic OBDII reader. He had some pretty neat gauge capability.

Apparently the setup he had is not available for iPhone. Is there an "accepted" nice OBDII reader for iPhones?

there is but they dont scan for kr.

torque app seems to be the best one going. but its for droid phone. some have it working on a tablet.

Torque app is probably what he showed you. There's is no app available for apple ios that reads obd2. That's why Android is far more superior

Yeah, Torque app sounds right.

Without reading KR, it seems kinda pointless.

Agreed that Android is superior... except that my company thinks the iPhone is better and they gave me one for free. So I kinda got what I got.

Torque app does read kr. You and run it on any Android device. Find a old phone or tablet with Android and Bluetooth and your all good. Just understand with Bluetooth the data lags a little bit. But overall for 20bucks you can still see what your engines doing.

you could always buy a used droid phone and use it just for the t app.

i got a hydro edge refurbished for like 40 bucks iirc. damn this one is cheap. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...T9XACW5SXY20MJ

Any recommendations on which blue tooth adapter to buy? I'm reading reviews and getting mixed signals on some
