Dash Command

[MattH]

Anyone here used the Dash Command app from the App Store? Seems to be an Apple version or the Torque app on Android.

Works with a Bluetooth ODB adaptor apparently.

Just looking into it myself as it also works on my Pioneer AppRadio apparently.

Also if someone could link me to a decent Bluetooth ODB adaptor that would be great!

I have it. Using it with an elm327 wifi obd interface. Search eBay.

I use it for logging and as a general obd scanner for none vag cars.

[MattH]

How do you rate it Faboka? Is it accurate?

[faboka vrs]

The readings from the ecu are accurate. The mpg reading isn't as it calculated.

Only problem which isn't a limitation of dashcommand but more the ecu protocol is shows too much info, you can a delay in response as the sample rate it poor.

But generally it's great for what I use it for. Showing intake, fuel and coolant temps are fine. Boost is fine but it can only read upto 1.55 bar.

Does anyone have a link to the elm327 they use?

Just search ebay

Awesome thanks Lee

I have a bluetooth one here you can have, just cover postage.  I bought the wi fi version as the phone in the car works on BT.

[Dark_Hero]

Thanks for the offer James, but I just ordered one

[James I]

I will take it to Castle Combe if anybody else wants it in exchange for a cup of tea.

[MattH]

Anyone know if this one is suitable:

[James I]

That will work 

[MattH]

Thanks James.

[James I]

just plug it in and link to the phone.

 

 Dash Command for iPhone or Torque for Android (I happen to prefer Torque but have an iPhone so use DC)

[MattH]

I'm hoping this will connect to my Pioneer AppRadio via Bluetooth and show all the date on the touchscreen.

[Dark_Hero]

I received my obd reader today, plugged it in but it hasn't been recognised :( will have another play in a little bit before the drive home.

[MattH]

Which one did you get? Charlie isn't it?

[Dark_Hero]

The one Lee01 linked to. Just tried again and my iPad could not find the damn thing via Bluetooth. My brothers android phone picked it up straight away, so I think I will donate it to him :(

Does anyone have a link to one that will definitely work with an iPad.

Yes I am Charlie

[faboka vrs]

I use this one with my iphone

Thanks John, just ordered that one.

Take 2

You need a wifi elm for the iPad or iPhone I ended up with both Bluetooth and wifi.

I have this one Matt, slight trimming of the plastic dash pocket and it can be left plugged in all the time.

 

I also have a Pioneer head unit and its all showing on there.

Thanks for that Dave! That's what I was hoping I could do.
