    Have you been able to connect MPVI2 to iPhone 7?

    I tried to connect my MPVI2 to my iphone 7 so I can use it with Track Addict but the phone doesn't see the MPVI2. My laptop sees and connects to the MPVI2 through Bluetooth no problem.

    IOS is not supported, only android.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    Strange that Track Addict is available for iPhone but can't connect to the device that would provide the data but anyways, what do I need in an Android tablet to hook up to the MVPI2? Could it be used as a digital dash?

    I'd recommend asking track addict related questions in that section of the forum.

    I was told by a Rep and the Off Road Expo in Louisville KY that IPhone will work with MPVI2.

    Thats a pretty good source! Can he tell us why there is a track addict app in the apple store you can buy if its
    not going to be supported? Can the iPhone app be made to work with a different Bluetooth obd2 unit?

    The iPhone/iPad works with Apple authorized accessories that has passed the MFI program. There are a couple ELM327 OBD units that are IOS compatible. Also, Dual makes an IOS compatible GPS unit that polls at 10Hz. The IOS app developers can only work with Apple certified devices. Good and bad...

    I hope it may be worth the resources to have the MPVI2 certified for IOS. Would like to ditch my other OBD unit for this one.
