The dongle worked with Torque on my old Android phone via bluetooth, they paired with each other in the same way that a bluetooth headset would talk to the phone. The app then lets you see instant figures from the ECU such as air temp, oil temp etc.

iPhones use bluetooth slightly differently so now need to upgrade to a wifi OBD2 device (typically 3 times the price).

There are also OBD2 devices that plug into the car and then have a USB lead for attaching to a computer but I didn't think the BiB would take too kindly to driving around with a laptop on the dash!
