Works via bluetooth with a mobile app. A bit frustrating in terms of the app layout, but seems to work well.

Just beware the super cheap bluetooth ELM327 clones on eBay (usually blue translucent plastic).
They will work well with some cars, but not at all on others.
Mine will read my Volvo V70, but won't read my Chevy Astro, for example.
