I emailed dashcommand and they said it is not possible to input the pid to get oil temperature. With Torque you can input it, to get the temp.

The only app I've found that gives you all the parameters that are actually useful for tracking is OBIE in the apple store. The problem is it requires a PLX Kiwi wifi.

The parameters that are already available on OBIE are: oil temp, oil pressure, coolan temp and boost.

You can select three gauges at a time, and only displays one gauge at a time, and to get to the other two, you'd have to scroll to the left or right.

The data from this app, although not as fancy as Torque or dashcommand, are actually more desirable for performance driving than any other apps I've seen.

I'd be very much interested to see if you can actually use the ELM327 to communicate with OBIE. If you can, then the cost is only $5. Plus the $15 for elm. And you don't have to sweat trying to input pid to get what you want.

Here's the web page on it. Let me know if elm is a possibility with this app;
