OBD II Wireless Devices and Apps

[bubbles1]

Yes I must of done something wrong but can't see what.
1) plug interface into Obd11 port.
2)red light showing on interface so it has power
3) ignition on
4) pick up wifi signal on iPhone
5) dash command connected (green)to phone
6)volt meter and fault code reader working fine
7) rpm ,temps, speed, pressures ect visible but just don't work.

Must something straight fwd I guess ?

All working now !! That was hard work lol!
Went into vehicle settings again and simply validated pid's then it worked ! Simples!
Thanks for all the replays chaps!

Does dash command read and clear fault codes?

 

[bubbles1]

Yes it reads and clears fault codes .
Well worth the money now I've finally got it working.

Thanks.

I agree. It does seem very good for the money.

Ok I have my OBD2 reader and the dash command app but can't get it to work . It connects up to my iPhone ok but nothing works on the screen apart from the battery voltage dial. ??
Anyone have an idea ?

I've got that reader and dash command and it's working fine with my iPhone. Not too sure how accurate the bhp reader is though it says it's peaking at 394bhp and 344torque, the torque is spot on from my dyno run but I've gained 50bhp and only fitted a hpfp since it was last on the rollers and not mapped in yet. Also boosting to 35psi. Overall loving the app and well worth the money.

boost seems pretty high , but you should do 35psi - atmospherical pressure and you get an accurate result
35-14.696 =20.3 psi of boost 1.4 bar , seems pretty accurate

Went out tonight and it's now reading 426bhp and 385lbft! Not sure what's going on?? Anyone got any ideas? Also does anyone know the gear ratios I can't find them anywhere.

 

[Mac]

i would just use it for reading gauges and stuff, i think HP and torque are pretty inaccurate so dont bother
i'm sure you know how many horses you got

 

[bubbles1]

I filled in all my gear ratios,drag, wheel and tyre size ect and fuel consumption is miles out! Also the speedo is under reading by 8 mph at 80 mph but I'll try the speedo correction function and see what happens.
The only thing that seems accurate is RPM, water temp, intake temp.
So far I'm not sure what advantage this gadget has given me lol?

 

[Mac]

it's just for playing around when you dont have anything better to do

i use it mostly for filming with rpm, boost and gps speed on the screen

 

[bubbles1]

Agreed ! My cockpit could start looking like this if I carry on though lol !

Ive got a Nokia lumia 925, ( windows phone) and i cant find torque app in the app store.

Ive downloaded obd auto doctor instead and it seems to work
. Just havnt had a proper go of the car yet to get proper readings.

Maf figure divide by 0.8 to get Hp i believe? Also have you got your weights set up correctly.

I use to have torque app and it was pretty spot on! i only really used it for 0-60 40-60 times.

I know this thread hasn't been active in nearly 2 years but I'll give it a go anyway.
I'm trying to use my Bluetooth obd2 adapter and torque pro to read the boost on my Leon Cupra with stage 1 Revo but the boost gauge is reading between -11.5 and -11.9 (constantly moving on tickover) but when I put in 11.9 to adjust it nothing happens, plus when I gave it some stick it read over 100psi lol something is clearly not rite. Does anyone know my problem?

 

[ZiggyEP3]

Are you sure you have setup the cars profile right in the program with the correct engine cc etc ? It will cut out a lot of bad readings.

 

[garetha1980]

Yep everything is rite I've double checked and triple checked :-/ every other gauge is fine and seems accurate apart from the boost. Think I may have to go old fashioned boost gauge
