I actually own a hardwired version of this, the PLX100. I plan to sell it to my friend because I just don’t have the time to wire it up.

I’m intrigued by this model (wifi to iPhone) but… There’s a switch on the transmitter that you must turn on to power it up. Reason? Plugged in and left on it’s own, it draws power from the battery via OBD port. Yes it’s a little current but still.

Julie, if you get lucky, drop me a note…!
