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.

 

Thanks for the info Adrian , i tried the DashComand app with no luck on the iPad. FORScan Home, was a bad site and blocked on my laptop, do you have that one and was there any trouble opening it once down loaded?

 

Yep finally got it , is there a way to add some more pid's to the app?

 

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

 

Thanks Adrian , I'll take a look at them , do you monitor icp / ipr and others , i don't seem to be able to find them when i enter my trucks info or they don't show up.

 

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.

 

Ooh , do you know anything about the torque app?

 

Yeah - I've used it too. To the best of my knowledge it encounters the same problem with the Ford Diesel specific PIDs. I could be wrong though.

Last I read it was only available on Android phones too. Not sure if they have since released an iPhone version however.

 

Jebus Blue. Im gunna have to buy some more stuff. You seem to have more than me now.

 

Maybe we should get together and compare , old mate.
