REV App Turns iPhone Into Performance Driving and OBDII Diagnostics Tool

[Motor]

Full Story (http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090519.002/rev-app-turns-iphone-into-performance-driving-and-obdii-diagnostics-tool)
The $40 (USD) app uses the iPhone's built-in accelerometer and GPS to provide a variety of data including instant and average fuel economy, acceleration, and commute times. Owners can either display this information instantly to get real time feedback or record it for later analysis.

While that's nice, Rev's real party piece is its advanced OBDII functionality. Accessed with the use of an aftermarket OBDII port connector, the Rev program offers sleek diagnostic tools and the ability to clear annoying "Check Engine" lights. Among the other features are real-time statistics concerning fuel pressure, throttle position, air intake temperatures, boost, and intake manifold pressure.

Although certain features sound mind numbingly dull, the app does have its benefits so you might want to check out free "Lite" version to get a better understanding of its unique functions.

I've got the 'lite' version and I'm not too impressed with it. Maybe I should upgrade to the full version. Anyone else have and use this application?

wow that's really cool.but now im gonna have to go buy an i-phone :)

[bman365]

My friend showed me some kind of dyno thing on his touch today. Supposedly it works by you mounting it somewhere and accelerating. Amazing what some of those apps can do.

not paying 40 bucks for that....

I really gotta get an Itouch...

Which generation is needed? And how to know which generation is an iTouch when bought used??

Thanks.

[johnnyGTA]

sounds pretty cool

iTouch :nono: . No such thing. Gen. 1 or Gen. 2 -- it doesn't matter for the apps. You're only going to find Gen. 2 at the Apple Store and other outlets. Gen. 1 is slightly thicker, but not by much.

Gen. 2 has external volume controls.

I don't think it works with the iPod Touch because the Touch doesn't have GPS.

^^Gen 2 also has a speaker

I don't think it works with the iPod Touch because the Touch doesn't have GPS.You could still have the OBDII scan tool I suppose.

It cool but I hate i phones.

[SocalTRDgt]

Gen 1 and Gen 2 doesnt matter. I got it for my itouch ( no i didnt pay for it) pretty neat.

possibly

[GTsRasta]

The full version of the app is $40, but wireless scan tool and all that stuff is like $200+ .

I'd just rather get a Greddy infometer touch and keep that as a purpose built machine. But then again, I already got the emanage ultimate and v-manage to sync it up to.

So the iTouch has no GPS? So there is no dyno then....

It's called pocketdyno. I'm sure it's not accurate at all. Here is a video of the app.
