For boost, I wonder if it'll let you set up synthetic PIDs. Boost can be determined by MAP - BARO.

Yeah it should. You can customize the fields and make your own formulas, etc.

I will add this: The creator of this is a very good guy with great feedback. If you email him with a question he is very good about getting back to you. If you want another thing to monitor he probably willl add it to the next update.

Here is the custom PID inputs:

OBD2 Mode and PID
Long Name (used in Menus)
short name (used in displays)
minimum value (typically 0)
Maximum Value
Scale factor
Unit Type
Equation
OBD header to use

Here are more PIDS and formulas for them:

Is Torque Pro out for iPhone too? I can't seem to find any news on this.

I don't believe so. but you can get Dash Command or DevToaster-Rev. They are very similar to torque.:tup:

I recommend dash command because I don't know much about Rev

Thanks

DashCommand = $50
Rev = $40

That's Apple :mad: It's cheaper to develop for android-- so apps are cheaper

Search "OBDII" in app store and let us know if you find cheaper ones

Very informative thread so rep for that.
Would be nice to have all this display right on the nav screen too!

To my understanding only Uprev is able to pull/log the oem oil temp sensors, are there any other obd dongles able to do so? I have a cheap elm and torque pro, but not getting the oil temp readings.

bringing this back! :)

I'm thinking about putting a small tablet in the upper Din compartment. Looks like torque is out for ipad, but I have to check if my mini fits in the compartment. Not sure it will. I'm seeing bluetooth plugins for OBDII on Amazon for $10ish dollars and the app is $5. Is there a particular bluetooth you guys recommend? Seems to be a lot of them out there

Oh...and can I actually use this to change anything or is this simply monitoring? The app says it will clear warning lights, so not sure what other input is available with this

Just to note that this is now available for $101 on Amazon

I can also vouch for the OBDLink MX and Torque combo. Incredibly quick readings, no glitching, and if you get the racingmeter extension for Torque, it looks completely badass.

If anyone's looking at that long list of Torque-supported PIDs and thinking about our car, a couple things:

1) We don't get oil pressure (just a switch as mentioned earlier) or oil temp over any standard OBD-II pids on this car, and I haven't seen anyone come up with alternate PID setups that report them the 370. However, Cipher (laptop software from UpRev) can see Oil Temp.

2) For the 7AT, we don't get trans temp data at all via any known OBD-II PID, and it's also not in Cipher, although it's known to exist for the dealership Consult-III tool :(

Correct. Unfortunately the 370z cpu doesn't process as much info as this app is capable of reading. If it gave oil temp and oil pressure that would make it the perfect tool.

Bummer, I just bought my wireless OBD2 adapter too just for the AT temps .:shakes head: Looks like I'll be using it for coolant temps now & moving my temp gauge thermocouple to the trans line. Scratch one radiator hose & a little more coolant.:shakes head:

I'm planning to drill+tap a sensor straight into the side of the lower pan on the 7AT, as shown in the pic on page two of this GTM PDF: http://www.gtmotorsports.com/Manuals..._Procedure.pdf . I already have the gauge mounted, just waiting for a good time to drain fluid and work on the pan (maybe while installing their valve body upgrade sometime this spring).
