If you own such a device - try.
I don´t think it will work. Seems not to be ELM compatible. One rater on amazon wrote the device does not work with the torque app...

I have tried without success.
The Bluedriver was given to me when I helped a family member by returning headlight function to their Mazda BT50 using Forscan and an old Elm327 adapter I had.
The intention of the gift was a thank you gesture and to give me an interface to use with my IPAD etc.
It was apparently quite expensive - the rationale being expense = better
The associated software appears to only work with known vehicle types to North America and is limited in functionality.
It does not recognise my Mitsubishi Triton 3.2 diesel or some of the other diesel vehicles common here in Australia.
To date the adapter does not appear compatible with other software which I thought might be due to its Bluetooth connectivity with the IPAD with other software types looking for WiFi connection on Apple products. I am unsure of its hardware architecture.
Forscan is the best OBD software I have used to date and could only wish it would cover more makes and models.
