Get a cheap BT adapter. Yes, they're all the same and will work for your car if it's 1996 or newer, and will still fit some older vehicles. I've always used this one. This is car stuff 101, like carrying a jack, spare tire, jumper cables, simple hand tools, cig lighter air compressor, etc.

Been told there are better apps than Torque, but it's free, a few bucks (one time fee) for the fancy features. Does what I've needed.

You can see what the code is, look it up, maybe try to fix it, clear the code out. My wife's car throws a check engine now and again and it disables the cruise control. We've wiped the code rolling down the interstate and got right back in business.
