Do you have a link for your Bluetooth adapter? There are 2 kinds of Bluetooth adapters.
1. For Bluetooth Low Energy Adapter (aka Bluetooth 4.0), it will work right away. Auto configure, auto connect.

2. For Generic Bluetooth ELM327 (Bluetooth 3.1) device: iPhone/iPad has restriction on Bluetooth support (Basically iPhone/iPad/iPod requires 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 need to jailbreak your iPhone. There is a tool in Jailbreak store to manage the Bluetooth. If you have jailbreak iPhone/iPad and that tool installed, you should be able to use Engine Link with the OBD II Bluetooth device.
