Default Engine monitoring app

Looking for an app I can use with my iPhone that will stream some engine vitals live. I've seen them before, but know nothing about them. More specifically, I'd like to be able to monitor things like oil temp, intake/exhaust temp, real time mpg, etc. Looking for some advice or recommendations. Thanks!

Thank you. I looked into that, and it sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. The only problem is I currently use iPhone and that app is only for Android. However, I found an app for iPhone called "Engine Link" that sounds very similar. It says it worls on all OBD-II and EOBD vehicles and requires an ELM compatible WiFi adapter. Is this something that would work on the S?

I don't have any experience with Engine Link (I'm an Android/Torque user), but can confirm that ELM 327 adapters work well with the S2000. The adapter I have looks like this, but there are many manufacturers who make adapters that look like this. I recommend searching on Amazon for "ELM ODB2" to see what's currently being offered.

Awesome, thank you. I did see a couple on there, but wasn't sure if it mattered as long as it was an OBD-II adapter.

You're correct, the Engine Link app specifically says it needs an ELM compatible WiFi adapter to work.

Shoot, sorry fellas. I just got home and had a look at the ODBII adapter--it only transmits via BT (no WiFI). I also tried to get a demo version of Engine Link for testing on the fiancée's iPad, but they only offer the full version. Hopefully you will see a smaller delay with a WiFi signal than this!

* apologies for the blurry video; my smartphone was tied up running torque so I had to use an old camera.
