The Vgate iCar Pro is an ELM327 V2.3 OBD2 interface with Bluetooth 4.0 for iPhone and Android. You plug it into the OBD2 port and then wirelessly read fault codes and live data with an OBD2 app.

The iCar Pro supports all statutory OBD2 protocols and works with most OBD2 apps. If the engine is switched off for 30 minutes, it switches to automatic sleep mode, so it can remain in the port. The firmware can be updated online.
