does the vgate mini v1.5 work with iphone apps as well?

Not sure to be honest with you. I remember reading some where that there is an app for iphone through cydia that can use the vgate/elm 327. But i dont remember where i read it at.

*day1 update* Had to take another drive this time to Manhattan to pick up a friend and put on a few more miles for the test.
Driving Impressions : car seems to be getting great gas mileage on steady speeds so far the best numbers my dash has ever read. Drive was about 15%city and 85% highway again but this time no traffic accept when running the test to go home again. Average speed was 39.4mph and highest speed was 60.9mph with speed ranging from 45-55mph(driving a little bit slower because the cops were out at every corner)highest rpm was 2690(shifting this time when the car told me to shift) and temp out side 93.2f with the highest value at 96.8f.


Mileage after night was over.

AVRG MPG after night was over

52.2miles total from last trip(36.5) until reaching Manhattan.

AVRG MPG From my house until reaching Manhattan(no traffic).Record high for me

Android Torque data. Had to take a snapshot while driving only because phone was about to die and didnt want to lose the data but it was about 2 mins before i ended my drive so no big deal.

I would be happy with 5 MPG.

on my way home form the dyno I did a lot of data logging and I found places for HUGE improvement on top of what i've done.

I went thru the gears only a few times and kept speed @ 75mph.

I got 30MPG and wasn't impressed.

Yea if my calculations are right i think your tune will be getting around 5mpg+. Only reason why i'm driving the way i am right now is because this is the way i've been driving on my last two fill-ups only because i was still breaking the car in. So i wanted to drive at the same pace so that the data can be a lot more reliable and we will be able to tell if there was an increase in mpg. I've been using the torque app every drive so we can use it as guide and to show the consistency in every trip.

Loving the sound of this...Cant wait too see all the improvements coming out of this tune.

All I can say is wow... 40.2?? Seriously??? When I set it to cruise control on a drive that was 95% highway the best I got was 34.6 and that was at 70-75mph most of the way

No traffic, cruising on the highway at low speed, not too difficult to get. 70-75 is already too fast to get really good gas mileage. Just sitting at 60mph in 6th gear should be around 40mpg. I don't think the tune has much to do with it :P

[Gregory Gawaran]

When I cruise at 65, best I get is 34... and thats everyday I go to work with no traffic, so there is alittle more to this tune. The drive to work is about 20% city 80% hwy... so I give a bit of credit to the tune if thats what he is really hitting.

Actually this is the highest I've ever got. I've been cruising around the same speed since i got the car and the highest I've ever received was 38.3 on my dash if im not mistaken, but on that drive i must have drove about 50-60mins straight with no traffic at about 55mph-60mph. With the test i doing now i drive 30-35mins highway and about 10mins city. so the numbers to me seem to be getting a tad bit better.

[brichard0625]

So far as a reference my best mpg with stock tune was little over 29.3 mpg mixed. If my calculations are right ill be getting around 34-36mpg mixed with with stg1 flash
