I saw something similar for newer Garmin GPS modules. You can now buy an ODBII bluetooth dongle that communicates with the Garmin and gives you the same data your software and the ScanGaugeII's offer.

I love this kind of development. Makes my inner geek smile

 

Call me paranoid, but I do not want my OBD-2 port connected to WIFI.
I prefer using a laptop and a dedicated hardware port device like the Car Code.

 

You're paranoid.

 

ZOMG! HakZoRz could get my codes!

For now, real-world attacks are limited to using electromagnetic interference to cause malfunctions unless someone has access to your OBD port. Plug in a wireless access device, and someone might not need physical access to that port any more.

Think about it. Your throttle, brakes, and other systems are under computer control--a computer you trust to do what you tell it to do. The threat of a malicious third party attack or an unfortunate malfunction due to interference is a small risk now, but worth considering.

 

I have the kiwi wifi and I like it. You have to turn the unit on in order for it to send wifi so if it's off nobody can bother you
