That's exactly what I found John. Pioneer specifically uses ANT+ exclusively, and I would need that very outdated dongle plus an adapter for my iPhone 6S to work properly. It's back to the drawing board
That's really unfortunate that sensor manufacturers that are not wed to a computer protocol don't supply both. It's an easy deal and Nordic Semiconductor makes a chip that does just that.

I used it for almost a year until I started having issues with the used Ant+ sensors I had and replaced them with Bluetooth sensors.
The RFLT+ will bridge sensors. I used one for a long time just this way with Cyclemeter and the Garmin speed and cadence sensors. My wife's bike is still set up this way. The RFLKT+ really helped the battery consumption with the smartphone display Also with the iPhone 6, unless I got a new mount, the phone was near being hit by my knee with a stem mount. Quad Lock now has a mount that puts the phone in front of the bars. That would work better from the mount perspective.

There's also a heart rate monitor from 4iii that does the Ant+ to BT bridging. I've never used it, but it may be helpful.
