I just went through their website but could find the product mentioned in the video. Maybe it is not released yet.
Sorry, i was using too many pronouns and being confusing.

So iViNi makes the BMWhat app for iPhone and also makes a good wifi dongle.

according to their website, the two together will currently do diagnostics on F series but not coding

According to this guy on Amazon, coding F-series with their app and dongle won't be possible till Q2

BUT the app you found from bimmerretrofit suggests that they are using the BMWhat dongle and their own (apparently not-yet-released-app) and, yeah, that looks like some sort of F series.....

The other thing I noted from bimmerretrofit is that with their larger OBD dongles (which i assume is the thing that plugs into the car to create the interface) they only rent them for $120 CDN. The smaller BMWhat dongle can be purchased for around 44 EUR.

Plus the BMWhat app has the app (which they have a free version of so you can test or you can pay another $44 CDN for it in the itunes store)....

Hmmm.....interesting.
