Heya guys,

For the past few days I have been playing around with this toy i picked up that interacts with my Apple Iphone.

From the apps store, you can purchase REV for 29.99 ... and link it up to one of many wireless ODB2 devices that can be viewed @ their website.

http://www.devtoaster.com/products/rev/index.html

You can record multiple real time readings and have the results sent to you in email through your iphone via a .csv file (excel)

Per example... I attempted a 0-60 run... here was the results:

MPH - TIME
0 6:15:18 AM
8.07 6:15:18 AM
11.18 6:15:19 AM
20.50 6:15:19 PM
32.31 6:15:20 PM
41.01 6:15:21 PM
48.46 6:15:21 PM
55.92 6:15:21 PM
63.37 6:15:22 PM

roughly low 4 sec to 63mph...

Here is another detailed view of that run (i actually went to 106mph)

The numbers are listed in order: Time, MPH,MAF,Throttle Position

6:15:18 PM 0.00 3.69 1.18
6:15:18 PM 8.08 72.88 70.59
6:15:19 AM 11.18 98.47 13.73
6:15:19 PM 20.51 163.11 100.00
6:15:20 PM 32.31 218.58 99.61
6:15:21 PM 41.01 269.91 100.00
6:15:21 PM 48.47 221.86 100.00
6:15:21 PM 55.92 228.91 99.61
6:15:22 PM 63.38 251.50 99.61
6:15:23 PM 68.35 273.61 100.00
6:15:24 PM 73.32 229.91 48.63
6:15:25 PM 78.29 211.05 100.00
6:15:26 PM 82.02 216.33 99.22
6:15:26 PM 86.37 227.94 100.00
6:15:27 PM 90.72 238.80 100.00
6:15:28 PM 95.07 250.80 100.00
6:15:28 PM 99.42 260.72 99.61
6:15:29 PM 103.15 266.80 100.00
6:15:29 PM 106.88 274.88 100.00

0-106.88mph in roughly 11.00 seconds

A few points I have noticed using the device... while I was running up to 100 around 2nd to 3rd there is a hesitation (slight) when the car is shifting, ...actually its not the smoothest shift, kinda rough actually... but this data is showing my throttle position drops to nearly 50% even though i have my foot planted.

Countless other features including the ability to show vehicle CEL codes, reset them and monitor pending issues.

I will be making a short little video showing how it works later... i know you guys will like it.

TopGun32

can you monitor IAT's and timing?

this is a great product if so.

TopGun32

never mind.. it does ..

http://www.devtoaster.com/products/rev/index.html

wow!!

i think i just found my new phone and app

alumar

Yes... it does

TopGun32

which OBD2 connector did you use?

alumar

ElmCanII-WLAN - i ordered from the link on the site. It comes from Germany... took about 7 days to Midwest.

The program and ElmCanII-WLAN works on any car... I have tested with various friend's cars... even one of them that had a check engine line (had it on for years and never looked into it)... ended up being some vacum pressure issue with leaving his gascap off one day.. i reset it and it hasnt came back on ! ... ha ha

alumar

Got some great info from Cory

Gramma_Benz

Awsome, thanks for the heads up!

BTW, when I look up the app the price displays $39.99.
Still much cheaper than any other logging-scanner though.

alumar

ah musta been a weekly special when i ordered on appstore ..

additional non-topic info from cory (anyone ever try this?)

c32AMG-DTM

Yup - he's right, too... works like a charm, especially if you're at the track on a cool night.

c32used

I just downloaded Rev lite for free but you stated I needed access to OBDII right can you post a link for that item?

c32used

Actually I found it but damn very expensive device

Gramma_Benz

WHOA! Yeah, I just now saw that the connectors or wifi to interface with the iPhone are all over $200.

c32used

I love this idea but that expense is pushing me to a $99 data logger instead.

c32used

Would any of these work?

c32used

IDK maybe this is my route...

ya the wifi odb2 is about 270.00 after shipping ; guess that is kinda expensive ... The thing to consider though is this is "not" just limited to your car... this can be used in any car... your DD, friends car, parents, rentals ... whatever has 4 wheels and ODB2

minimal expense to have as a fallback device imo since it pulls codes, allows you to clear and has various other features

man i was just thinking..slap some gps coordinates on this and the po po have everything they need to give someone a ride in the back seat; interesting.. luckly this was on a closed track

TopGun32

I would also look into the blue tooth connector instead of the Wifi.. probably cheaper.

either way.. i'll wait until the connectors are cheaper.. and BlackBerry has an app similar to the Iphone.

those of you that are programmers.. there is $$ to be made.

alumar

ya if you think about it... simple wifi usb with a hardcoded ad hoc AP connection setup, then just transmit the ODB2 info

they are making a killing at 260 each

c32used

please keep us in the loop if you find one!!

TemjinX2

yeah its a great app...i plan on doing something similar with my car puter.
