I use dash command not free, £6.99 iirc. I also have log works on my phone which I think is free, I had a qock look and it's supposed to clear check errors.

I've got dash command and iobd2

iobd requires in app purchase to use wifi. Don't think they was any more than 2quid??

I use iobd2 as fault reader/finder as I find the interface easier to use and adaptable to any car in that respect, I find the data loging easier too

Dash commands very very laggy from my experiance and the code reader can be a bit hit and miss I personally think the interface is a bit naff takes some getting used to. But it's nice to set your own PIDs etc Like you can run boost/vaccum, ignition advance along side each other and loads of presets too. If you know what your looking at it can be very useful.

I used this wifi obd2 connector

Intake temp sensor is part of the MAF sensor.
