Best iphone OBD app
 
Hi,

I got a PLX wi-fi OBD reader, I'm now looking for the best iPhone app to read the OBD data, oil temp etc.

Can you please suggest me what is the best one?

Free or not

Thanks

Torque is for Android, not iOS.

OP, try Dashcommand.

Thanks, I've installed Dashcommand, with also the BRZ adds-on works perfectly

I use DashCommand over Torque on my Android head unit even. It looks so much cleaner than Torque.

I hope I'm not going off topic too much here, but can I monitor my car's diagnostics with one of these devices, whether it be wifi or bluetooth to OBD2, but also keep my bluetooth connection to my head unit for music and hands free voice calls? And also keep my ability to stream music, i.e. Pandora or Spotify, via my iPhone? I'm under the impression this cannot be done because you can only connect one bluetooth device at a time or if you're using a wifi version of the reader, you'll disable any mobile data services via 4g/LTE because of the ad hoc wifi connection to the obd reader. I would just rather use my iPhone for everything. Possible?

Anyone know if I can run dashcommand on a 14 canadian hu?

Not to hijack the thread but is there still a concern with and obd II apps throwing a cel and the car going into limp mode? Thanks!!

Have tried some and Engine Link app is among the best, it is $5.99.
the app works with WIFI and bluetooth low energy adapter (LELink from amazon: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/LELink-Bluetooth-Energy-OBD-II-Diagnostic/dp/B00QJRYMFC/ref=sr_1_1/180-7082713-9792358?ie=UTF8&qid=1418789115&sr=8-1&keywords=lelink"]Amazon.com: LELink Bluetooth Low Energy BLE OBD-II OBD2 Car Diagnostic Tool For iPhone/iPod/iPad: Electronics[/ame]).

I honestly just suggest buying a moto G for 100 bucks and putting that in your car. I love my iPhone, it is my "daily" but it makes more sense to have something dedicated to the car and the moto G is very inexpensive and very powerful for what it is.
