Dashcommand/torque

[Smilez]

Anyone rocking dashcommand or torque? I lost torque when I switched to iphone. I couldn't believe my EML327 OBdII wasn't compatible to my IOS. Finally got around jailbreaking.

Can't wait to check my vacuum before and after when I install a oil catch can.

I run torque on my note 3. It's been a very helpful app

How does it read vacuum Ray?

I'm not quite sure hahah. Not sure I'm assuming by the DME. Has intake temp. Tempted to remove my CAI and see if it's a few degrees cooler than stock box. I'll screen shot more tomorrow.

[NorCalZman]

So this app is for iOS? What do you think? Does it graph the various sensors like torque. They use it for troubleshooting a lot over on e46 fanatics

[Smilez]

I think I actually like this one better over torque. There might be a YouTube scissors out there.

[Fenrir]

I run torque on my Xoom and Incredible 4G. I love it.

[Smilez]

Few more pics.

[Fenrir]

Wow.... I like that interface more then torque's.

I just looked over the dash command website. I do not see where you can graph and export these sensor readings (like O2, etc) from a iOS device. Am I missing that part, smiles?
It looks like it needs a $100+ dollar OBDII device to plug in so it can work. Wow. On the cheaper side I have a Gopoint BT1 already which is a fraction of that so I wonder what those more expensive devices can do that the GoPoint cannot.

Maybe wrong. I haven't started the LoG and currently not plugged in.

Still learning. You can add graphs.

[NorCalZman]

Oh sweet. This seems like a good app and the price is great at 10 bucks. I can buy it see how well it works with my go point

[Smilez]

Yeah for 10 bucks plus obd Bluetooth/wifi, you get better a better scanner than any autozone code reader.

[NorCalZman]

I downloaded it. Looks very neat. I Have not tried driving with it yet. Looks like you can put in all sorts of stats about our cars to make it's tracking more accurate. I am going to start digging for those now. Does your readiness screen look like this?

Does this have oil temps?!

[NorCalZman]

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/28/yherasar.jpg

It looks like you can add gauges but it's a bit more complicated than just picking one from a menu. Looks like you have to know about something called "PIDS" etc. I do not.

[TigerTater]

I have it. Works well. I use wifi obd2 elm for iOS. It doesn't support Bluetooth. If you go to dashboard and search there is an e46 specific one someone made. And no oil temp is not supported, not bc of the app but bc it's just not supported at all by obd2...weird though.

There is lots of gauges or graphs you can add. Not sure what pid stands for , but basically it's the sensor you want to monitor.

I used a go point BT1 to connect to it which is Bluetooth only.

Thanks. Found the BMW one. It's pretty neat. The top left gauge is not oil temp?

Did a airport run and had the gauges running. Very cool app.

The BMW gauge package changes the gauge color if it thinks something is wrong. Pretty neat. It would appear the voltage gauge is not supported either which is a shame because that would be one of the more useful readouts, IMO.

I am using an iPhone 5S with a GoPoint BT1 OBD (Bluetooth) plug.

Hmm, is there settings within the voltage gauge that might need to be updated?

Are you concerned about battery/coolant readings?

[NorCalZman]

The battery gauge doesn't appear to be working. My car wouldn't start or run if it was at zero, right?

And the coolant, I was driving in first gear up a very steep hill to my house then backing into my space. As soon as I stopped and grabbed my phone the temp had climbed to 99, then started to go down after a few seconds.

So no, not worried.

[danewilson77]

Got the Volts to read. When you add your car. In the vehicle section add your car than Toward the bottom click validate pid

[NorCalZman]

Sweet thanks! Do I do this when the car is connected to the reader AND Running?

[Smilez]

I did it while driving home. :shifty

[TigerTater]

I'm glad other people are using this. I think it's great app. Much better than cycling hidden functions or having an ugly obd reader. I just leave mine plugged in all the time. Only thing is when you look at speed on there it's off a few mph compared to my speedometer ...the app runs a few mph slower to be clearer. Does y'all's appear that way?

Bummer. I validated the PIDS with the car running and still no luck with the voltage. Tried restarting the app too.

I received my ELM wifi OBD device. However I am having issues getting it working. I will list what I did and tell me if I am missing something/doing something wrong.

-plugged it into the car
-turned car to ACC2
-Found device on my wifi list with my iPhone. When trying to connect with it it asked for a password, which was confusing. I entered in a random 8 digit code and hit join. According to the wifi indicator on my screen my iPhone it successfully joined.
- Went to dash command and updated the device type to ELM and tried to connect. It could not "find" the device.
- Looked at the Device and the red light was (still) blinking.

What'd I miss?

[Smilez]

Maybe obd port IP address needs to be used. I have a different ELM

[NorCalZman]

Ah yeah I just read that on the amazon reviews page. I set it up on the wifi page then set up the data port in the app.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/11/avuge5u9.jpg

Now the app just says OBD interface failure. :-(

[TomTomTuning]

Agh, I'm running iOS8 Beta and DashCommand isn't working. So I played around with Toque on my Nexus7 but I really want to try DashCommand, I guess I'll have to wait.

And your obd interface is on ELM?

[NorCalZman]

yup

[TigerTater]

I have wifi working...it should show up as V link on the wifi setup...I can't remember if it used a password to link up. Make sure you hit the center connect button after you turn it on so that it will try and sync

:rofl: I knock it off like every day. I don't use it daily though. I want to mount my iphone somewhere that way I can view it in a safe place. I was thinking mounting it right above the center air vents.

[TigerTater]

Mine had no dongle ...just a 2.5 peice that slides into obd port...

[TigerTater]

Can anyone pull up dash command and screen shot the values of the post cat O2 sensors at idle and at cruise speed around 70mph...trying to adjust my lc2 a bit...I need normal values for someone without headers in place. Thanks guys

I'll try doing It later today on my way home. Unless someone beats me to the punch.

Yeah okay- I just mounted a Galaxy S3 on the left hand side of the cluster using a windshield mount. The vent clips annoy me, as they block airflow.

I saw an extension cable, that allows you to relocate this OBDii adapter somewhere else. Thinking of getting that.

I have not been able to use the OBDII Bluetooth adapter with any of my iPhones, it only works with my android tablet. I currently have an iPhone 6+ with iOS 8 but it didn't work with my previous phone or previous IOS 7.

I have the blue mini OBDII Bluetooth adapter from Amazon.

[Smilez]

Your phone has to be jailbroken for it to work. You know iphone doesn't slow Bluetooth devices that don't pay licensing.

[TigerTater]

Yep iPhones have to use wifi adapter ...Bluetooth obdii is not supported
