This looks like a great OBD II on Iphone scanner option - love to hear some thoughts...

This is an interesting concept. I didn't know there was such a thing as a BT obd2 adapter.
After searching around a little, I see there are much cheaper versions of basically the same thing minus the app and those specific features Automatic has. I might pick one of these generic adapters up for $10 and this app for $5 and give it a try:

That Automatic app can't show data like engine/coolant temp., etc, right ?

Nice that it's BT, but for $40 less, and a bit more bulky and wired, ultragauge can provide detailed real time engine data such as coolant temp, etc (with alarms !) , in addition to what Automatic app/dongle does (minus the crash alert thing, which IS nice), and it doesn't tie up your iphone in anyway, which I personally prefer. And the Ultragauge has a real display, and you don't have to look at your phone screen, which can be left alone for its main intended functions.

Messed around with Torque Pro and a 9$ ebay bluetooth obd2 adapter, very cool gadget for a total of $14:
And this is the track recorder plugin recording a short drive:

It's like a combination of the car and phone inputs and a video recording from the phone. It's as customizable as torque itself, so you can put whatever gauges around the screen you want. I don't show it in the video, but there is also the option to have a map overlayed and your gps position shown on the map. I deleted the audio, but it does use the phone's mic to record as well.
I imagine this would be a really great thing to have when tracking down a specific problem while driving. I could simply record a drive and catch the problem visually with sensor data and share it with anyone as if they were sitting there watching my gauges. You can really see how the coolant temp fluctuates depending on what you're doing!
