You'll even be able to check and reset engine and error codes.<br><br>The only hitch is that you need an OBD-II/WLAN interface that can beam the information from the port to the phone. DevToaster is working on that now; in the meantime, you can download Rev Lite at their site and we have a feeling California's going to work on more <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/25/california-outlaws-texting-while-driving-finally/">phone-centric activities to ban</a>.<br><br>[Source: <a href="http://devtoaster.com/products/rev/index.html">DevToaster</a> via <a href="http://wrxfanatics.com/blog/2008/09/devtoaster-rev-ipod-iphone-obdii-software/">WRX Fanatics</a>]<h6 style="clear:both;padding:8px 0 0 0;height:2px;font-size:1px;border:0;margin:0;padding:0"></h6><a href="http://devtoaster.com/products/rev/index.html">Read</a>Â*|Â*<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/26/read-your-obd-ii-with-iphone-using-rev/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>Â*|Â*<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1324590/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>Â*|Â*<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/26/read-your-obd-ii-with-iphone-using-rev/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
