OBDII data to your mobile

For those interested:
Other companies already have products that 'WiFi' data from your OBDII port to your smartphone, such as Kiwi WiFi and Devtoaster's Rev etc., but there is a new one about to be released that should be a fair bit cheaper, good for those like myself who are only 'casually interested' in data such as MPG, and Outside temp (although the latter is not mentioned - have to check when it comes out).
Here it only mentions iProducts:

But here is says it should work with Android too:

Would this work with a TD5?

It says after 1996, but im not sure on the connector type.

How would it know Mpg etc? Current:D4 HSE

TD5 has that connector.

It knows (or can guess) you MPG because the ECU(s) certainly on the puma, have all the details - Fuel tank size, how full it is, mileage etc.
Most cars with decent technology packs do mpg Mike

No, this won't.

I know because I bought one, the PLX Wireless and Rev for the iphone. No problems on the Mini Cooper S we have though.

I dont understand the workings of OBD2 etc, but its something to do with the TD5 OBD2 protocol is different.

Which would explain the different wires require for diagnositics on a few machines
