Yes, it looks like that will work with your iphone.

The bad thing is, the cheap adapters (http://www.amazon.com/iSaddle-Bluetooth-CAN-BUS-Diagnostic-Windows/dp/B008U1MOM8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1411593141&sr=8-2&keywords=obd2+bluetooth) are for bluetooth with android only

Thanks. Last SCCA event is tomorrow, after that I'll change out the car's fluids and shove it into the back of the warehouse until the spring. While I'm hunkered down for the winter will research apps and buy the OBD adapter.

I am an Apple junkie. Here are a few I like:

Harry's Laptimer and a hi-res GPS receiver is a must have if you are a performance driver that runs a lot of AX/DE/TT. Here is a list of recommended GPS receivers, motorsport quality mounts, and OBDII devices that are compatible with iphone and Harry's. http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Compatibility.html

Mapquest- Way better than the Apple GPS mapping IMO with live traffic updates.

Google Earth- Amazing function that does some things better than Mapquest.

Scanner Pro- A photographic scanner that sends documents anywhere with a few clicks.

Amazon- Quickly get current best pricing on anything, anywhere. Buy local or order online and wait a few days for it to be shipped. You decide with info at your fingertips.

Tons of very useful music/audio related apps if you have an interest in that.

Thanks Topless!!! In doing the initial walk of the autocross course yesterday 2 friends had their Iphones out with Harry's Laptimer plotting the course, I missed the last two events and they've been using them on both so I learned quite a bit. Now I have something to tell the wife and kid's that I want for Christmas. An homage to my now gone Boxster.......
