Thanks guys
I've just updated to an iPhone 6 and was looking at pairing by BT to use an ELM327 data device plugged in to the OBD port. It would appear that the iPhone/iPad has restriction on Bluetooth support (Basically iPhone/iPad/iPod requires the BT data device to have a special Apple authentication chip which 99% of the BT adaptors don't have). In order to use standard Bluetooth devices in data mode you therefore may need to jailbreak your iPhone.

Thanks chaps - just bought an iPhone number 6 and whereas the iPhone 4 showed car as Audi MMI, the 6 shows it as Audi BTA 1729.
When I use google navigation on the 6, the sound comes out of the car speakers, I'm sure that didn't happen on the 4 (maybe I never tried it).
It's a great bang-per-buck retrofit.
