Do you still have the driver disk that came with it?
I'd like to try mine with my laptop, but the CD that came with it was unreadable, and the vendor claimed to have emailed me the files 4 times, and they never came. :(



I do still have it - they have about 200 meg of files on them

Have ordered one of these, will report if it works.


Well this arrived the other day, just hooked it up and gave it a run, some pics attached.

Pros:

- Cable is plenty long enough
- Charges your phone
- Checks/clears CEL etc
- Can view/check various things in real time
- Heaps of fuel related functions, MPG etc
- Most apps on appstore are free (1 does everything and costs money, the rest do some stuff, but basically all combined.)
- Very easy to use

Cons:

- Cost $130 bucks
- Slight lag/delay in what you see on the screen (RPM etc)


Connects straight into your ODB port and into your Iphone (not the 5).

I think for an iPhone you'll need a wifi version.

Apple are abit funny with their Bluetooth protocol. I think bluetooth can be used if jailbroken but I haven't looked into it yet.
