Received my OBD2 wifi adapter in the post from Ebay today
going to test it out with Dash Command on my iphone on my way home tonight

you can customise gauges, so I have set up a page with:
GPS speed
Coolant temp
Boost
Volts

I would like Oil pressure and trans temp but I haven't been able to find them on Dash Command yet

There is no oil pressure sensor on these engines, just a oil pressure switch

Thanks

One thing I didn't think about is that when the iPhone is connected to wifi it doesn't connect to 3g / 4g data
So no google maps and no streaming podcasts / music

New clutch installed (NPC) and retuned to suit new air intake at Just Autos.

Will keep me happy for a month or 2 before it goes back for a timing belt, water pump and mods to the diesel pump :twisted:

Well I'm not a computer guru but did some googling and you can use the wifi and 3G at the same time. You just need to set the wifi IP as static

Fitted a Uhf radio into my center console, ran new aerial and relay to turn off the Uhf went the car is off. Also supplied power to my gauge lights so I can see them at night.

How much power are you making? Myself and a few others I know are making quite a lot more power over stock and there haven't been any incidences of breaking diffs

Probably running similar setup as you. Bout 250+rwhp.heaps of torque.
my rig is fairly heavy too so I think that is making things worse.
2nd gearbox too.. :roll:

haha I wish I could make that much power, just doesn't seem to be happening for me :(

The gearbox getting munched I would believe, but first I've ever heard of a diff going :shock:
