There are many blue tooth OBDII dongles on eBay. Have been really happy with the cheap one I purchased well over a year ago. Think it was something like ~$16. But be cautious, as some of those don't "shut down" and will keep drawing power even when the car is off. The one I got seems to shut off and draws minimal current, but I still disconnect it if the car isn't going to be driven for several days in a row.

Really useful for monitoring the EGR behavior as well, and makes it quite obvious when the car goes into DPF regen mode.
