Is there a good app for iPhone to measure performance?

AZ_Bmw_550 · 03-31-2015, 03:08 PM

I thought there was a fairly decent app to measure 0-60, 0-100 and so on. If so I sure can't seem to locate it.

Dashcommand should do this, although I haven't actually tested that feature to see how well it works. Connects to iphone/ipad via OBDII wifi connection

Thanks Ben, do you use the ELM327 WIFI Wireless OBD2 adapter or some other OBD device?

Our cars GPS has a very bad refresh rate results will not be accurate, same with cell phone apps. V box is the only way.

AZ_Bmw_550 · 04-01-2015, 02:03 PM

Ugh, okay, thanks for the info.

With this and Dashcommand I can read/clear codes and a ton of other features

AZ_Bmw_550 · 04-02-2015, 05:48 PM

Cool, thanks Ben, would be worth it just for the troubleshooting.

From what I understand the GPS in the iPhone runs at too slow to be accurate. If you want accurate readings your best bet would be a VBox Sport that connects to your iOS device over Bluetooth. It doesn't come cheap though, cost is a little north of $400.

That thing is pretty fancy! For $400 though, thats a lot just to bench race.

Agreed, I may rent it out to diffuse the cost.

FenixMike,
You sent me a PM but for some reason the system deleted it before I could read it.

I have OBDLINK LX (Bluetooth) for Android, not sure if the ELM (cheaper) is as fast or as accurate as mine.
