Hi all,

Has anyone had this app http://www.devtoaster.com/products/rev/ installed on the iphone and connected Via the OBDII port?
Very tempted to buy the PLX wifi connector http://www.plxkiwi.com/kiwiwifi/hardware.html

Thoughts please?

Funny, I just placed an order for the PLX Kiwi Wifi for the iphone but my order was cancelled because they messed up the inventory. I ordered it just to play with.

Supposedly you can get diagnostic error codes with it. Pretty handy.

Progman / CIP is the bmw e60 software / firmware I believe it can be updated via SSS v32 software using a BMW obd2 16 pin to serial cable

I have this . It's pretty cool, you can do diagnostic stuff as well as monitor and record performance figures. I actually used the export data feature with Rev and wrote a program in Matlab to analyze the data for a project last semester. It's an awesome app.
