Gazzi c Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Fair do's, but $49.99? Or Rev for $39.99? Compared to Torques £2.95? Ouch!Why havent we had any iPhone folks doing this yet if the apps etc are there? :? You can download dash command for free from installeous if you have jail broken your IPhone if u haven't jailbroken it let me know and I will tell u how to do an untethered jailbreak for free but it won't jailbreak version 4.2 or above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldy Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Any updates? Unfortunately not, the OBD adaptor never arrived so I have requested a re-order from hong kong, but it's going to take 2-3 weeks again! Will update as soon as I get it.

No, afaik only late models have OBDII Not sure if you can get a conversion cable though, if that would work...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldy Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Got my OBD adaptor FINALLY! only took 2 delivery attempts and 2 months ish! Anyway, used the app today and works perfectly! Scans your codes if you have any, mine was clean of course! The displays are great, all very functional, got things like voltage, 0-60 times, mpg etc... havent had a drive with it yet as I was a bit concerned that when the OBD adaptor was plugged in the abs light kept flashing on the dash, is this supposed to happen (does this happen with every obd scanner?)

antmax7 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 you need to be careful with cheap scanners they can damage you management system in the car they are good though but most cheap scanners don't even pick most faults up! not something you wanna skip on in my book. just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, I was under the impression the software on my phone would do the most work, as the adaptor is just an interface? I could be wrong.

Chris CW Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Update - It was the same one, and I bought Fieldys surplus from him. Got it connected pretty easily, being an idiot at first it was just saying "Paired but not connected" and I couldnt get it going, then after 10mins of fiddling/googling I went into the settings of Torque and then 'Devices' and selected it from there. It does disconnect sometimes, but it quickly sorts itself out, Im sure it will be ironed out the more I use it to tweak settings and when updates etc come out. Other than, really good bit of kit, has ALOT of options on the paid version of Torque, including colour tweaking options. Not yet used it on anything other than the celica but will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
