OBD-II Hardware Interface
Your car has a lot more to say than just what its "Check Engine" light can tell you. CarTrip makes you a better listener.
If your car was built anytime after 1996, you can plug into its on-board computer and access a staggering array of diagnostic and performance information. That's been great news for tuners and shade-tree mechanics everywhere. But other than the mysterious and seemingly arbitrary "Check Engine" light, there hasn't been an easy way to make that data available to the average driver.
Until now.
Griffin's CarTrip On-Board Diagnostic Computer Reader is the easy, fun tool that helps you drive more fuel efficiently, save money, and do your part to save the planet.
CarTrip's wireless monitor plugs into your car's OBD-II port to record and analyze data from your car's on-board computer, then displays it on your compatible smartphone using a friendly (and free) little app called CleanDrive.
CleanDrive monitors your car's performance, collecting data like fuel consumption, acceleration, top speed and engine diagnostic codes as you drive. CleanDrive crunches the numbers and displays your "Carbon Score" in an easy-to-understand format on your device's screen. Instantaneous trip and long-term averages are recorded to give you a clear picture of how your driving habits impact the environment and the efficiency of your car over time.
In addition, CleanDrive will display and reset the diagnostic codes sent by your car's on-board computer, so you can know what the "Check Engine" light is really saying.
Your car's computer has a world of information to share that can help you maintain your car and become a better driver. CarTrip by Griffin tells you how.

I wonder if the app can clear fault codes?

I'm thinking we have a misunderstanding here. I would assume you need to download the app whether you do it through wifi/data plan/ or on your computer then onto the phone. I don't see why you would need a data plan or wifi to use the system once the app is on the phone.

I wonder if this is any better than the Kiwi wireless OBDII device

I'm going to have to pick one of these things up sooner or later, they seem way too handy not to have.
