Thank you for clarification. Because I purchased it and had no luck.

Needing some help...I have iphone 11+ using the OBD Fusion app on my 2000 LC and I am not getting readings from the following PIDS:
Engine Oil Temp
AT Gear Status
Battery
All of the fuel gauges
Are there additional steps or information I need to calibrate/add to get these to show?

Check your iPhone’s wifi settings, it should be connected thru WiFi. What dongle are you using?
I use a Bluetooth dongle not Wi-Fi. Other gauges are working and showing status but not those ones I mentioned.

Yes, the dongle is Bluetooth, but you’re supposed to connect the app via your phone’s WiFi settings as @OEMGUY0720 said.
The OBD Fusion on Android works thru Bluetooth connection and an iPhone (iOS) works thru WiFi.
Thanks for the info.
I have a Bluetooth-only dongle that is giving me read-outs for
GP Speed
Engine Temp
RPM
MAF
AT Fluid Temp
O2 Sensors
Intake Air
So, is it correct that I will get all of those plus the below gauges if I connect a wi-fi dongle? It doesn't make sense that some are only communicated via BT and everything is communicated via WiFi but I am open to being educated on that.
These are WIFI Only?

I am speaking from experience, and the answer is Yes. This was also confirmed when I reached out to OBD Fusion software development team and the guy I was communicating with said it had to be connected thru WIFI.

Got it! Will go get a wifi dongle and report back!
What Wi-fi dongle are you using to gain access to the full OBD Fusion functions? On their site, the only wi-fi dongle they list is no longer available and they suggest using Bluetooth...which is why I bought a BT dongle in the first place.
This is what I use:
Vgate iCar Pro Wi-Fi OBD2 Scanner Scan Tools OBDII Car Diagnostic Tool Code Reader Fault Check Engine Light for iOS/Android https://a.co/d/1LsWGor

You don’t need a wifi dongle! Use your Bluetooth dongle but connect through the OBDFusion app via wifi instead of via Bluetooth.
FWIW I use a VeePeak Bluetooth and it works fine.

I'm definitely learning something new...I think. Any guidance on how to connect a dongle that is Bluetooth only via WIFI in the app? The app's communication preference when choosing wifi is asking for an IP address and Port #.

Reason I asked is my Tonwon dongle is using a “V-Link” wifi name and that’s what I connect to on my iPhone.
Okay, here’s what you can try:
• make sure the dongle is plugged in the OBD2 port
• Turn the key in your ignition to acc position, no need to turn the engine on.
• Go to your iPhone’s settings and hit WiFi.
• What wifi names do you see there? We are looking for a wifi name related to your dongle.

Don’t worry, I was confused as hell when I first set it up.
Yeah I’ve done that too. Here is the screenshot of my Wi-Fi networks with the dongle plugged in. Nothing shows up and I thought that was expected since it’s a Bluetooth dongle.
First is sitting in my driveway and the second pic is outside my neighborhood with no networks around to make sure I wasn’t missing it.
Honestly I’m not sure if “GigEm” wifi name is your dongle wifi name.
But this is what I see when I connect my iPhone to the Tonwon dongle wifi:
I didn’t start the engine, and this is what I get once I am connected to V-Link and have launched the OBD Fusion App.
