OBD11 reader apps
I just received this new OBD11 Bluetooth connector , can anyone tell me the best user friendly app i could use for the iPhone / ipad.
Here's a pic of the connector , I'm not sure if it's a good connector maybe you can tell me that too.
I have a AE but just thought this would be good for quick scan or monitor pid's without having to cart the laptop with me.
I purchased this OBD11 connector from an Aussie company ,when it turned up in the post it's straight from China. oh no they got me again

Dash Command is the best one for Apple Devices.

With that BlueTooth OBD2 reader, you can also use this if you connect it to your laptop:
FORScan Home
Which will enable you to erase Airbag codes and other stuff that most code readers can't. Its an awesome tool.
As for the connector, I think I have the same one - it hasn't let me down yet.

I have Forscan I downloaded it and installed on my laptop. Its not malware or anything - so if your virus protector/firewall blocks it, just try to approve it.
As for Dash Command, if you set up your vehicle in the Vehicle Manager, it should show Ford specific PID's. Page 11 of this book if you need: https://www.palmerperformance.com/do...ser_Manual.pdf

I actually don't use the app to monitor - the engine tuner on my truck plugs into the OBDII port and I use that to monitor EGT's/ICP on my truck etc.
ICP, and IPR aren't standard OBDII PID's so the Dash Command or any other generic OBDII reader can't access them unfortunately. I think only AE, Scanguage and the Forscan tool linked can do that.
