At this stage the HKS OB-Link is not compatible with iPhone.

For a really nice look you can link to an installed 7" tablet in your dash or suction mount to the screen.

Sorry I can't be of any more help unless some IT geeks have anything else to try.
Hi,

You can get the HKS for cheaper than that(but not much). One of the vendors here @HKS Australia sells them slightly cheaper than that. Anyone looking for one.. ask for Bruce or Martin and I'm sure they'll fix you up a nice price. They did for me :P

Also have you considered going for an android head unit with your car? I'll be going for that one to use in conjuction with my HKS OB-Link and Blackvue cameras. The HU is around 6-700 shipped(it's also mentioned in my build thread below).
