Bluetooth obd2 HELP
So a friend bought one of these online because his CEL came on. He received it in the mail today and we tried it out plugged it in and everything, red led came on. I downloaded REV app(free version) on IOS. Didn't seem to connect, so I downloaded another random one and same thing happened. My question is what to do now? I'm stumped cant figure out what to do.

You pair it with your phone by inputting a four digit numerical code into the bluetooth pairing screen. Then your device will recognize it and be able to communicate with it.

Go to the buetooth connection settings on your phone...same way you would connect to a Bluetooth headset. I use the Torque app on an android phone and it works fine.

those cheap ebay/amazon ELM327 dongles only work if you jailbreak your phone, install roqy for bluetooth, and the obd2 mod. that is your option. i've done this and it works.
iphone uses wifi

for iphone you either need a kiwi wifi Kiwi Wifi
but it looks like somebody finally came out with an iphone friendly bluetooth device, although i don't know anything about them other than quick look on google. so research first
