Vlad Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Sorry, pretty sure this was already covered, but can't find anything Basically I want to measure my 0-60 times and so on...I know you can get different apps etc... My question is - what's the best one and comparable with iPhone 5? As some of them only work with android and so on. I think best option is one that has something that plugs into OBD port and then connects to your iPhone - I guess it will be more accurate than just an app that relies on GPS signal? Any info/suggestions/links will be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Bradders- Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Odysee or ulysee i think its called. even intergrates with your sat nav too, gives you average speed, 0-60 times etc. Found it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.binarytoys.speedometer&hl=en.

KyleR Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 iOBD2 does 0-60 or any speed variations you like. I'm pretty sure they do 1/4 mile too. But after the latest update the data is getting messed up somewhere and I'm idling at about 12000 RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If you want to do it accurately, you'll need some expensive gear. First off, the tech inside a smartphone isn't sensitive enough, so you'll need a higher res GPS device to connect it with. You can then connect that to some software and away you go. Harry's Lap Timer is superb on iOS for this, and very well supported. On the other hand, you could just video your speedo and run it in slo-mo on your PC to get a pretty good idea of your time. Depends on what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Fifth gear did a test on some hardware but they all came out as off the actual 0-60 time. You can download the torque application which does a lot of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 First thing is get an android phone, a friend of mine bought the wifi obd2 adapter for his iphone, then spent nearly 180 on an app for his phone (dont ask why) it was about 2 years ago when it was all new etc.. i bought a £4 Bluetooth adapter for obd2 and a £1.90 torque app and job done lol.

ts743 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I used to have one of these (sold recently, this isn't my listing): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/G-Tech-Performance-Meter-Pro-0-60-bhp-g-force-meter-braking-distance-/221506897451?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3392d7062b It was pretty damn accurate and received lots of positive reviews.

Mudman Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 First question I would ask is the car JDM ?as pretty much all the apps less one won't work on mine as the coding on the ob2 reader cannot get past the Japanese prtotcols. If anyone had torque or dashboard commander working on a JDM would live to know how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 There was one guy who build a mini computer to sit in his cubby for all the OBD stuff,cant remember who it was though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timb2010 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Torque on android gives 0-60 0-100 and all that. You can even record your driving and have gauges at the bottom like your playing GTA etc!!! Check this YouTube clip.

Neilp Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 There was one guy who build a mini computer to sit in his cubby for all the OBD stuff,cant remember who it was though I have it now. It sits under the seat or in the rear cubby and connects to a screen. I actually never got round to fitting it. Its laying up in my room in a box.
