Have you had any success reading fault codes?
I have a TPMS fault on the dashboard (yellow tyre with the line through it). The app is saying zero errors logged.

Which readouts do you find most useful?

My tablet running this is quite useful for learning about intake temps and heat soak. I'm getting some interesting readings with my carbon air intake and CAF. As long as I am moving at 5-8mph (rolling traffic), the intake temps were holding steady at 9 degress above ambient (12 degress outside, 21 degrees intake). Even if I stop (the temp immediately shoots up), as soon as I start moving it drops back to 21 degreess. Even if I speed up to 50-60 it still sits happily at 21. As I nudged 70 I saw it hit 20 degrees but came to a sopt shortly afterwards.

Sitting in tragic on Friday afternoon in SE London I was getting readings up to 54 degrees but dropped off quickly by 15 degrees with a little open air.

Thought I'd revive this thread as my ELM327 OBD2 connector turned up. Which app are people using on an iPhone (anticipating Apple related comments... :oops: )?

When I connect it to the port it flashes, but I can't see the device in available wifi options, and hence I don't seem to be able to link any of the apps I've downloaded to it.

Did anyone else have this issue?

Cheers

Wasn't there an issue with the iphone and all of these obd dongles? Or was it sorted? Or was it just the odb torque app?
