Need a recommendation for OBd ll scanner for data logging app

Looking to use RaceChrono as a data logger program for lapping data. Have a GPS receiver picked out and was hoping to find a OBDll scanner with bluetooth to communicate with my WM6.0 smartphone to get revs and coolant temp.

Has anyone had success using a OBD scanner with a bluetooth connection transfering data onto a datalogger?

thanks for anyhelp

I use RaceChrono on a Nokia N8 with the internal GPS. I have the Bluetooth OBDKey reader which is paired with the phone in my Boxster racing car - all works as it should with no problems.

It's in my post above...

I am using OBDKey (OBDKey :: Wired and Wireless Automotive (OBD) Scan Tools), the BlueTooth version. This has been tested and approved for use with RaceChrono.

PLX Kiwi works perfect. The communication with the phone is rock solid. I use the full version of Torque as the ODBII application. The full version is only 5 bucks.
