Engine Link App for iPhone
Anyone used Engine Link - OBD II vehicle monitoring and diagnosis for iPhone?
Would like to start the new thread to discuss using it with Ford Truck. Thanks!

Yep, I have it. Only bought it so I could reset codes in case of a sensor failure. The base PID's are nothing more than your dash offers and the optional ones are more geared towards gassers and are all in metric. Many don't even work. If you think this will save you bucks on a CTS Insight then skip it. If you just want to read and erase codes while stranded and really don't care about the rest, then this is for you... and me...

I'll stick with the free app, ForScan then. Reads codes, resets codes, can reboot the various computers too, and it even does some diagnostic testing based on the code thrown. As well as, some you can pick and choose to do. It will do a "dashboard" too. But so far, I think that a dedicated unit would be better for that. (like the CTS - but I don't have that need or want at this time)

Cool features got from the new EngineLink App
0 to 60mph timer and quarter mile timer. See how fast your car is.
Checking history trouble code. This would be helpful when buying a used car to see if there was any recent history codes.
