Bluetooth OBDII scanner

Is anyone able to suggest/recommend a good Bluetooth OBDII scanner, that will work in iOS? I've been looking, most seem to be Android or Wi-Fi.

Thanks

I purchased the BlueDriver module - works great on the car and inside iOS. Decent app GUI, it is pretty intuitive. Used it to diagnose and fix a misfire on cyl2 and a lean long term fuel trim issue.

I'd recommend it. However, this is no replacement for a VIDA/DICE setup, no generic OBD2 reader can match its capabilities.

Volvo VIDA is specialized diagnostic software used by technicians at volvo dealerships and the rest of us now.
First thing I did with mine was disable the seatbelt warning bell.
Dice is the interface box between your laptop and the car.
Heres a demo.
