Does anyone here know about OBD II scanners that work with the iPhone. I
have the old 3G model, not the faster 3G-S model B-(.

I think there are some.

OBD II scan tool that works with an iPhone? Why would anybody want such a
thing?

It's not like the car is throwing codes every ten minutes, or anything. You
can get a scan tool for $100-ish. How much does the iPhone interface cost?

You can use it to see how much fuel the car is using at any one time and
get other information, like coolant temperature and calculated engine
load. These can be displayed in a real-time graph.

My scanner tells me that, and I can still use my phone.
