ODB2 is OBD2. If that is the Kiwi that has the CAN interface too then it's a little bit better.

plenty of devices exist which do the same thing.....

I have the Kiwi wifi. It works pretty cool. I took it autocrossing to log some data. It was pretty interesting to see the results.

I am in the process of integrating the data from the app and the video I took the last time I was out at the autocross. Once I get the overlay figured out, I will post a link on here.
