OBDII and Kiwi

TheProduct · 12-09-2012, 09:09 PM

I purchased a WIFI OB2 ready off of ebay for about $40 bucks, then purchased REV2 through the app store for $40. It works flawlessly with my iPhone 5. If I had to do it again, I probably would not go with REV2 because they haven't updated their app in a very long time. It still looks the same way it did for non retina devices. Even their icon is still pixelated. I would go with something like Dash Command. Do not buy the KIWI, the one on ebay is identical to it and a quarter of the cost. I am pretty sure they are built in the same factory lol

I'm sure on the Dashhawk and there should be some old threads about it but nothing came up on a quick search.

I concur with the battery drain. I bought the Elm blutooth off of amazon. Pretty good device for my use, but I have to unplug it to keep the battery from draining. There are some better ones out there that have an auto shut-off that prevent this from happening.

Hey guys just wanted to update. I received my ELM327 and my 8GB Galaxy nexus. Spent the night rooting, installing custom 4.2.1 jelly bean OS and doing various performance and power saver mods. Well I have the nexus all setup and ready to rock and roll for tomorrows drive to work. Sadly it won't be mounted as of yet because I need to take the cover of my dash. Anyways here's a pic
