Asking if anyone uses any iphone apps for their truck that are reasonable priced and work good. My brother used Torque but its only available for Droid.

 

The Bluetooth connectors are expensive. I went with an UltraGauge instead

 

The blue tooth adapters are not that expensive. I looked at them last week and it was like 20 to 30 if I remember correctly that was on Amazon to.. I wad gonna get one because I have an Android phone but then I got to thinking why, there is an auto zone 6 blocks from me and they can read codes for me. Unless these apps do something amazing I don't know about..

 

Check out Torque Pro. It taps into all sensors in the computer. Displays all gauges, does estimated HP, fuel economy, etc. my brother loves it.

Just FYI, auto zone can't read all of the codes. They can't read the engine nor the transmission codes. They can read the generalized codes, but not specific codes. These new phones are getting out of control! I didn't know there was an app for something like that!

 

Oh yeah! The Torque App even logs live data. We all know how useful that can be.

Wicked!

Wicked idea, but I don't see anything on the iTunes. Torque Pro isn't offered. Someone needs to post the app name, as the iTunes search functionality sucks dirt.

 

Okay, I found a few
DashCommand: $50. Looks like a full suite of functions, but has more one star ratings than five star ratings (three average)

OBDII Car Diagnostics: $3. Scan codes only. Low reviews and doesn't list compatible OEMs by name.

OBD-II Code Converter: $1. Doesn't scan, user has to manually enter the code. Horrible reviews, including the most recent one stating "No code for my Ford diesel".

FuzzyCar: $5. Looks like it does most of the common stuff. Current version has over 150 reviews, but still only averages 3 stars. App hasn't been updated or reviewed for two years.

I'm not getting a warm-n-fuzzy on any of these apps...

 

You aren't finding it because it's not offered for the iPhone. It's only on Android phones.

 

Im going to be calling on Dash Boss today. They say you need Gateway hardware. I'm going to check if it that specific or any bluetooth can work. The app doesn't look that great but its only $5

 

I would use scan guage/insight/CTS etc... These apps tend to have issues sometimes and or not do everything not worth the headache.

 

I use Torque Pro for Android with the cheapie OBDII BT adapter I picked up for $23 off amazon. Works excellent in my vehicle.

 

How was your torque ever at 56,500.00 ???!!!!

 

How do u like it and is it really only $70??

 

MPTonyT, can you post the link to the cheap BT OBD-II adapter.

Also, the "Rev" app for the iPhone looks pretty promising. It has good reviews and is $40.
