got my PLX KIWI WIFI today - still in the box for $60!



gotta figure out which app to use...
initial setup was < 1 minute with WiFi - seriously cool

Rev has a free version for the iPhone - downloaded, but has REALLY limited access...

Rev (Paid) $39.99
DashCommand $49.99

others?

yep, it's pretty cool - using Dash Command to pull info...

it's been 104-110 around here lately, the coolest IAT's I've seen are about 98 in the morning...

still trying to figure out how to use the recorded logs - playing them back on the graphs doesn't make much sense, I'd much rather use them as a CSV and build my own charts in Excel

still hacking at it - but for ~$110 for the Kiwi/Dash Command - it works great with my iPhone4 so far
