It was only a matter of StrekStrekStrekStreking time. Love it! It's incredible how simple and ingenious some of these new apps and add-ons have become.
I have the iphone app "REV" - there's a few apps like this, OBD2 reader via bluetooth, can read all the usual stuff off the OBD2, tach/hp(need to insert weight)/rpm/tpm/IAT/Speed etc. This also has GPS so that you can see where you're driving/use it on the track. Limited a little by how good the phone holder is if you drive fast/on the track. http://www.devtoaster.com/products/rev/
Interesting. I've been looking at mini computers/tablets to mount in the car so I can plug it into the Durametric and log some data.
The Durametric is the way to go. These other ones are simply generic OBDII. Fun to play with, but they will not allow transparency or access to many Porsche systems, especially on the later cars, ie My96 on...
Quick question, can these wireless OBD's (PLX Kiwi Bluetooth, or the Griffin) pull up a speed log of a previous drive? Say for instance you wanted to look up the speed you were going on a corner the previous lap.
