Built-in Metrics

The iPhone is a powerful computing platform, and Rev takes advantage of all the iPhone's built-in technology to provide interesting metrics about your vehicle. These built-in metrics, available without the aid of additional hardware, include:

Lateral and Forward Acceleration: Graph your cornering, braking and acceleration G-forces. (Also available in Rev Lite)
GPS Track: Visual track displays your location and acceleration data - see how you are braking and accelerating around corners. (Also available in Rev Lite)
OBD Metrics

Rev gives you access to lots of vehicle metrics, communicating via the ElmCanII-WLAN device to extract highly accurate, real-time data directly from your vehicle's ECU. Those metrics include:

Vehicle Speed
RPM
Fuel Consumption
Engine Coolant Temp
Fuel Pressure
Calculated Engine Load
Throttle Position
Intake Manifold Pressure
Air Intake Temp
Timing Advance
Mass Air Flow
Fuel Level
Barometric Pressure
EVAP System Vapor Pressure
Fuel Trim


and it does that wirelessly

I have it and it's pretty cool. The are open to suggestions so maybe we can get more car specific features for our needs

Damn I was going to go fishing this afternoon, but now I may need to feed my I-addiction. Looks like a good find E55pilot.

CWW

I'm not understanding how the phone talks with the car.

Does it plug into the OBDII port, or what?

Do you have to buy a special connector thing?

E55Pilot

You need to buy the wireless hardware that goes with the app.

The ElmCanII-WLAN: Rev's Hardware Companion

Rev communicates with your vehicle via its physical OBD-II port. Interfacing with this port requires an OBD-II hardware device that supports the 802.11/WiFi interface on the iPhone and iPod touch.

Our device choice is the revolutionary ElmCanII-WLAN from CarCode-Müller. They have been developing great OBD-II hardware since 2001. In addition to providing serial and USB OBD-II hardware, they were the first company to bring Bluetooth OBD-II to the world market, and in November 2007, CarCode-Müller became the first to create a WiFi-based OBD-II device. One year later, DevToaster has worked closely with CarCode-Müller to create the next version of this great device, providing a much smaller new enclosure and engineered with the latest in WiFi and OBD-II technology.

Description

The ElmCanII-WLAN is a wireless interface to your vehicle's own computer, connected and supported by a standard called OBD-II. This device allows Rev to connect to your vehicle through an extremely fast wireless interface.

WHOA! The device needed to use this software is $229! Plus the $49.99 for the software. I think I'll pass.

this thing is just a pretty scanner...and about the same cost as a very good one. I will pass as I have a scanner.

E55Pilot

It's a scanner that logs and does logs associated with a GPS track.

Let's see your scanner do that

Does it measure boost? That'd be nice.

E55Pilot

Yes it does
