I'm using it Ben. I just added my car, verified the PID's and all the parameters work fine.

How did you verify the pids I've not done that I dont think it shows me mph and revs but not a lot else csnt see anything on fuel consumption did you fill in any of the advanced settings ?

Thanks

When it's all plugged in and connected, you just add the car to the list and there is a 'verify pid' button. That's all I did Ben.

I haven't touched the advanced area, apart from weight.

Maybe my car doesn't have some of the pids then which is annoying as it's not showing me anything I don't already know !

mine works and reads fine,you do need to verify though

Do you just need an adaptor for this to work? Do you need I drive?

Anyone know how accurate the temps etc are?

I've downloaded it, just waiting for my wifi obd thingy to arrive.
i read somewhere that somebody connected their iPad and iPhone to it and got different readings so maybe take temps etc with a pinch of salt.
Doesn't bmwhat app have pretty much the same on it though! Albeit a lot more expensive.

Well I've had a play with it tonight on the iPad and found a section that shows supported pids so it's showing more now eg voltage a frw other bits but it says boost is supported but when I run it in dashboard it says n/a on the boost gauge which is annoying me ! Mines a 2006 320d has anyone else managed to get this working !

You just need to buy a wifi odb reader if your using Apple and download the app if your using android I think you need a Bluetooth odb reader.
