Introduction
This document outlines options for monitoring engine and transmission parameters, reading error codes, and accessing injector values on a vehicle equipped with an OBD2 port, specifically focusing on solutions compatible with both iOS and Android devices.
Problem
The goal is to find a suitable tool for monitoring various vehicle parameters, including:
- Transmission Temperature
- Engine Temperature
- Exhaust Gas Temperature (requires installation of an exhaust temp bung)
- Boost Pressure
- Error Codes (reading and resetting)
- Injector Values
Solution
Several options are available, each with its own advantages:
- EOBD-Facile (iOS) with a Wi-Fi OBD2 Dongle: A free app that can monitor various parameters like MAF and fuel trims. Requires a Wi-Fi OBD2 adapter purchased separately (e.g., from eBay).
- UltraGauge with Bluetooth OBD2 Dongle and iPad Mini: The UltraGauge app is powerful and allows custom gauge displays. It can use ScanGauge codes to extract transmission temperatures.
- Torque Pro (Android) with OBD2 Dongle: Requires an Android device or head unit.
Relevant Parts and Tools
- OBD2 Dongle (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth): Required to interface with the vehicle’s OBD2 port. Choose a model compatible with your chosen app (EOBD-Facile, UltraGauge, Torque Pro).
- UltraGauge Unit and App
- EOBD-Facile (iOS app)
- Torque Pro (Android app)
- Exhaust Temp Bung: Required for monitoring Exhaust Gas Temperature; needs to be welded into the exhaust system.
