Automotive Phone Apps

[bazeng]

Hey guys,

I just thought I'd get a compilation of phone apps related to anything automotive.

PHONE: IPHONE / ITOUCH

Here is a good one that I have found.

http://www.ot-2.com/

The OT-2 is a simple device that wirelessly connects your iPhone or iPod Touch to your vehicle. When used with the free Logworks Mobile app, the OT-2 transforms your iPhone into a wireless:

Gauge or digital dash <li>Data logger <li>Dyno <li>OBDII Scan Tool <li>Efficiency Mete

the only problem is it only works with a ob2 plug, so for the moment early mitsu's will not with it, but i did read that the guys at ecmlink were thinking about trying to make an adaptor for the ob1 to ob2 port. if they did would be sweet.

Theres a gReddy app, and a iBoost ,
the greddy one is pretty sick

Guys, download trapster!!

We should all be using it

(android and iphone)

It basically notifies all users with police locations / speed cameras etc etc.
All real time!!

3G on all the time = battery drainer

Theres a Dyno app called Dynolicious which is cool

Has anyone had any luck with Android app's with an earlier mitsy. I've just acquired an OBDII ELM 327 Bluetooth adapter and my Torque Pro app scans through the different possible protocols but never connects. My vehicle is a 1995 Super Sports gear RVR. 2.0ltr Turbo. Upon connecting i can see the lights on the adapter flash when the app does a quick scan of the most common protocols used. But never obtains a solid link. Is there some trick to it?

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers

I no luck here either , I have the same setup as you RVR-GO

it only seems to work on newer cars like 2005+

there is a heap of good droid ones for engine size, displacement, piston speed, rev calcs and stuff

Yeah I've also tried several other apps but with no success. After scouring the net for a few hours. I came across an App readily available on the android market called 'MMCDroid' Specifically developed for earlier Mitsy's which also includes 3000GT's.

Unfortunately i still can't seem to get a solid link via any app at this point. Upon further research it has been brought to my attention that many of these Ebay Adapters are put simply....shite! And will not comply with many necessary protocols needed

However this is looking more and more promising http://www.evoscan.com/android-evox-can-obdii (last updated 2 July 2012)

That mmcdroid has a specific obd1 adapter for it..... but it's $75US plus shipping... about $85USD all up, assuming the P&P is worldwide, not just US... =\

I guess it'd be worth it tho if you really wanted it.

I like the Garrett boost advisor app. Gives turbo sizing and compressor maps for all Garrett turbos.
Only thing is in the selection bit, they ask for a zip code for your location. I just use 90210 as that the only zip I know...

 

[Rumbuck]

I just use 90210 as that the only zip I know...

That may be all well and good, but is the climate there like the climate where you are living??

Closest I have found is Miami, so any of the Miami Zip Codes work for me:

33010 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33011 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33012 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33013 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33014 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33015 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33016 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33017 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33018 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33054 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33055 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33101 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33102 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33106 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33109 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33111 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33112 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33114 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33116 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33119 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33122 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33124 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33125 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33126 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33127 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33128 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33129 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33130 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33131 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33132 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33133 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33134 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33135 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33136 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33137 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33138 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33139 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33140 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33141 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33142 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33143 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33144 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33145 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33146 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33147 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33149 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33150 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33151 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33152 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33153 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33154 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33155 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33156 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33157 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33158 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33159 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33160 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33161 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33162 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33163 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33164 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33165 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33166 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33167 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33168 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33169 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33170 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33172 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33173 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33174 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33175 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33176 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33177 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33178 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33179 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33180 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33181 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33182 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33183 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33184 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33185 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33186 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33187 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33188 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33189 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33190 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33193 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33194 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33196 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33197 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33199 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33206 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33222 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33231 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33233 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33234 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33238 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33239 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33242 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST 33243 Miami-Dade FL 305 EST

Dunno, Perth/ beverly hills. Mostly sunny when you see it on tv so maybe the same ...
I think it's only for the elevation/humidity so as long as you not living in the Swiss alps, it maybe ok. Anyway it's nothing another 1-2 psi boost won't fix
