I tried the table, holding it high, low, resetting the phone, turning the phone. It finally calibrated when I handed it to my son. It only likes him I guess.

The My Ride set-up still does not work, so mine is worthless for now too.

honestly whats the point of this crap. When I got my car and wanted to see if Im down on power---I sat in the car ran from 0 to 100mph and started counting out loud.....1 mississippi....2 mississippi.....ect.....I got to 100mph before 10 mississippi every time. Then i did a few 60-90mph runs....less than 4 mississippi every time. Consistant with a 114-116mph trap car.

After seeing ur results, it seems to me this app is 'juuuuuuuust' below the mississippi method.

lol, you may need that $8...i hope you don't think you'll be staying in my garage rent free!

mekaw

lol. i had calibration issues for the past like 6 hours or so..but somehow it calibrated..... i was like lol.

not exactly sure what i did..... but it worked so.. yay..

Alright! My Dynolicious suddenly started working just fine. So, I took it out and gave it a 5 minute test down a local (quite) street.

Although not stellar, it is impressively fun. It seems fairly accurate and even nailed the HP output. I did the backwards calculation for drivetrain losss (18% on mine) and it was exactly what the factory claimed.

How do you know what your drivetrain % loss is? Where can I find that out?

ScottW911

I picked up a number by reading posts by Vadim, over the last few years. I believe my car is about 18% loss.

Just got my 3G phone today. For $13 bucks it's worth the entertainment. Thank you for sharing. FYI for those of you that had the old Iphone...the 3G is much faster.

I Like Soup

Good to know, I've been contemplating entering the iPhone fray. This app may push me over the brink!

They FINALLY came out with an updated version. Just calibrated it now. Anyone still having this problem, get the update!

obsidian05e55

Yup, Update is out!! Fixed most of the bugs...

I got the app this morning. It is pretty fun if you can find nice open roads. Don't know how accurate it is, so I posted results for debate. The 210 E55 is "supposed to do" 5 flat 0-60, but I kept getting times from 5.9-6.2 which sounds reasonable since I've never drag raced and can't really launch that well. The real time graph is AWESOME!!!

3 runs. 91 degrees outside. 3 to 5 minutes between each run, engine running the whole time and the car had been driven for 30 minutes prior to reaching secret location. No more than 10 minutes to complete all 3 runs:

Run 1: Traction Control On (12:59PM)
60" - 2.54 @ 28.3mph
0-60 - 5.98
1/4 - 14.31 @ 100.2mph

Run 2: Traction Control On (1:05PM)
60" - 2.63 @ 28.2mph
0-60 - 6.11
1/4 - 14.49 @ 100.8mph

Run 3: Traction Control Off (1:08PM)
60" - 2.54 @ 28.1
0-60 - 6.2
1/4 - 14.56 @ 100.7

I forgot to reset the ecu, so I got no wheelspin from the 3rd run even with TC off. I am going to repeat the test, after adding Lucas Fuel Cleaner, reseting the ECU, doing an oil change, and replacing the air filters this weekend.

The W210 has a brilliant mounting point! All you do is take the ashtray out and slide the iPhone in. Pull up on the bottom of the iPhone and it will wedge itself in exactly in line with the front of the car and it will not slide or move around in anyway. I did notice the cupholder can angle the phone away from the true front reducing accuracy, but the ashtray removed mounting point is completely flush. As the phone lays nearly flat you also can cleary see and manipulate the touch screen to start the run. Plus if the fuzz is on to you, you can close the ash try lid/cover with no problem!!!!

Just bought the App. Sucks I let my sister drive my car. Guess I'll have to try it on the 4Runner And yes the 3G is waaayyyy faster than my old 2G. I recommend to upgrade even though the phone feels cheaper and lighter then the original.

Best 0-60 I've managed is 4.82 sec.

Yacht Master

Only had one chance to try my Dynolicious in my E55, on Mexican highway no traffic. The start button takes awhile to actually start the run as you can see in my 60 time. Second gear lost traction yellow triangle had to lift. all things considered it works pretty well on a bad road. Once I get the operator error dialed out it could prove to be quite accurate.
60' 3.50@25.8
330' 7.46@59.1
1/8 10.61@77.7
1000' 13.28@90.6
1/4 15.49@100.7
Max speed 102.1
max acceleration 2.26Gs
Peak HP 437

Finally got to try it out.....only to 60mph, but in 4.0!!!!

W211 BEAST

Just got my iPhone yesterday and just got the app. I'm driving my dads work car after I leave school so I guess I'll be posting the times for a Grand Caravan when empty and when full of crap. Lol. Stand by

W211 BEAST

It wont F-ing calibrate. I'm pointing it straigh up at the sky and it wont calibrate. I also tried just laying it flat on the table and that didnt work either. Any tips?

W211 BEAST

This is ridiculous. I've been trying to calibrate it for 45 minutes now. WTF do i have to do to calibrate this thing?

e55 baller

mine won't calibrate, i place it upside down as instructed. Junk.

TemjinX2

i follwed his instructions and was finally able to calibrate. i'm running 3g phone with the new 2.1 software.

Timeless

I think this is the current thread for this, no?

Anyways, to answer a few questions from trial, error, and reading forums.

Jailbreak and this App seem to have problems when adding vehicles.

Calibration seems to work best with the phone lying flat in the ashtray area (with ashtray removed). Calibrates almost instantly whereas sitting verticle in the cup holder never calibrated.

Times seem to be off by about a second or so at least...not sure if it is the lag or what. My best 0-60 is around 5.24 with 2.81 60'. I believe I did better than that...but who knows.

bagelsjustbagel

this is the best example of it, i have it on my friends old iphone and it measures perfectly.

Results were extremely consistent, and I'm very pleased. Best run, with traction control enabled and lousy 60' time, was 12.70 @ 118.12, which DA corrects to 12.67 @ 118.54. Thread here:

This was after extremely careful calibration using an L-shaped surface to ensure unit was perfectly level both horizontally and vertically during cal, and very careful wedging of unit in vehicle to ensure no movement during run.

Considering that the tests of these things have shown that traps are actually normally 0.6-0.8 mph slow in trap, I'm mighty pleased with that trap.

aleksandar1099

Nice times! Did you use the new version of dynolicious?
