fellsteruk Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hi all Just read a thread from someone asking what to do with cubby and real time data logging was suggested. Being a novice I didn't have a clue so took to google. Bloody hell these are cool, had a quick look around and found this one Kiwi PLX OBD2 Is it any good, is anyone's law using anything better, I want a Bluetooth or wifi one as I plan "I may fail" to install an iPad mini in the cubby at some point and real time engine data is just perfect As I say I am a newbie, unable to contain excitement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Here's mine...... If you're going the Apple route you'll have no option but to go Wi-Fi as Apple Bluetooth is @*!#! I use Dash Command as the App but others have used Torque as another solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Engine 1 and Engine 2?? You're meant to remove the DE when you fit the LSA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellsteruk Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 These look amazing. So what do I need and do you have any fitting advice, do you just plug the module in and away you go....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Ha ha Haydn that's just a name for the page Economy engine = VQ Mortgage needed = LSA Felster - Wifi unit is about £130'ish. App was about £20 or something but the demo software which is functional can be loaded to a laptop. App setup. Install your personal details Activate wifi Plug wifi OBD into the port App finds OBD Done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellsteruk Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Great, found the below "this is it right" http://www.scantool.net/obdlink-wifi.html Just trying to find a uk seller, also I take it this plugs into the ECU, is this in the Center console or does it plug into the socket on the fuse box... Sorry for the stupid questions !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinyflier Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I use iOBD2 - http://iobd2.co.uk/ Hardware is GBP45 for Android or GBP55 for Apple - software is free. Works on my iPhone and iPad through Wifi. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I bought mine in Germany had it posted over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 In my opinion the best software you can buy for this is Dash Command. It's available on iPad, Android and Windows i think, but the readers that work with them quite restricted (they've locked it down to only work with a few) My favourite part about Dash Command though is you can download the Lexus LFA skin for it and use it as a speedo. A few people have done this online and replaced their clocks. I looked into doing this but it would be a huge job. http://www.palmerperformance.com/forum/index.php?board=13.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Aah this is a very well timed thread as i am looking into options for my pending car PC. I am looking at a mini PC or one of those new fangled Raspberry Pi's. i see the above software runs on Windows - Wasso how is yours hooked up? Got any pics of it in the car?
