I got an ebay blue tooth obd reader for 11 quid this then works with my Android phone. This also has other benefits such as feeds from the sensors, track mapping and other cool stuff. Let me know if you want the link to the one I bought. And yes I have tried and tested it with fault code and clearing. It doesn't do abs or airbag things though as that is a different device.

Here you go:

http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1497.l2649

£11.99, but it is smaller than other ones, as i didnt want any silly passengers catching their feet on it. The app you want is "torque" on the android app store. It works great on my htc oen x and my nexus 7.

I didnt bother with the CD, I just installed the app, followed the connection/pairing instruction ont he back of the device, started torque and it all worked after a little time connecting (30 seconds).

Hope this helps :)

On iphone I think you want an app called REV. Blackberry, I have no idea though. I cant see why anyone would want to do anything with a blackberry other than drop an email to say "help, I have a blackberry, please tell me what the rest fo the world is doing!" ;)
