OBD2 with Iphone6+ for CLS63-2010
Hey guys,
I've just bought my 2010 CLS63 AMG with 58k km on it.
I am super excited
to get it on the 29th of April!
As I'm intending to keep the car pretty neat, I need to buy an OBD2 scanner. So which one is compatible with Iphone 6+ and can read the CLS63 codes?
and if you have any advice to a newbie with MB, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

If it does work on your AMG, it should work on mine. anyway it's cheap so no regrets if it was a miss.
Thanks for the feedback

ieGeek with Dash command review
So I've got the ieGeek, bought the dash command. and went to the dealership to get my new CLS63 AMG. I plugged it in. connected it with my iphone and ran the diagnose tool.
The surprise is I had 2 errors (oxygen sensor and evaporating system) in red
. I was freaking while showing the MB dealer sales guy. So he said those tools are not reliable and cant trust the reading, but I insisted on using their star tool to make sure it's clear. he pulled the car in their garage and plugged the star tool in and it showed no error AT ALL!!!!
we went for a lap and back to the dealership. plugged the ieGeek again, did a scan, and no errors shown!! I looked like a fool
in front of them and apologized for being **** this way.
later on, I tried few more times and it's working fine, no codes, reads all gauges, logging data is cool and comprehensive, although mapping them in a diagram might be better than reading numbers only (not sure if this is a feature is in Dash command and I'm not aware of it).
I gotta try some other apps to see if there are different ways to represent the data.
My overall opinion, ieGeek is working fine with 2010 CLS63 AMG. reading are a little bit late from being real-time, keep it as a first indication tool but never depends on it. (ieGeek is like a drone compared to the MB star Diagnostic who represents an F-16).
Thanks again "WHYASK" for your advise
