Recommended OBDII Scan Tool for iPhone

Anyone have experience using one of those bluetooth OBDII scanners such as BlueDriver on their BMW? Just curious if they are worthwhile or possibly don't even work well with BMW's.

iphone can't do bluetooth to obd2, you need to grab a wifi version. I have Carly and and OBDLink that works well with android. I would stick to Carly since they can a bit more than the generic units can do. They also cost significantly more. Carly is a 150 dollar investment for the dongle and application.

Just be aware of the 9 dollar units you are rolling the dice.
