Obd Software For Ipad

[OldTrout]

I was given a Stoga ELM327 WiFi OBD2 scanner gadget.

I am now wondering what iPad software I should get to go with it?

There are some free apps and one I have tried confirms that the scanner is working.

But there seems to be no shortage of apps and a wide range of prices.

What do members recommend?

Thanks

Dash Command is quite good fun. It can display a number of standard graphic screens or you can design your own set of gauges to compliment your car's instrumentation.

Neil,

Thank you.

I like the last picture. Makes it feel like a flight deck.

I asked on amazon too and the replies besides Dash Command were:

OBD Auto Doctor

OBD Car Doctor

eobd facile

OBD Fusion

Will try one and report.

Look forward to seeing the results.

It didn't take long to create the gauges in the last picture, I must get around to creating some more but other projects on the SC have taken priority.

Alas very limited testing with OBD Auto Doctor pro version.

Help for adaptor suggests that connection can be made with ign off or with acc on. I never managed this. I could only get a connection with ign on.

My wife declined to drive so she fiddled with app whilst I drove.

We managed to establish that the Battery voltage was 14.7, the OBD reported speed was 5mph lower than speedo at 70 and 65, and rpm at 70 mph (speedo mph and on cruise) was about 1700.

She did measure the noise level in the car at 70 mph on cruise with iPad sitting on central rest and using the Decibel 10th app by SkyPa. It was about 70dB on the good surfaces of the A34 between Winchester and Oxford.

More OBD app testing still needed.
