There's a whole bunch of screen shots and even a video on their site.

As for my program, here's a couple screen shots of a random drive. It's essentially an on-road dyno.

You need to purchase the Kiwi Wifi. That's what transmits all the data from your car to the app.

I want to
1. Have this hardwired so the OBD cable isn't in the way
2. Have the iPhone/iPod feeding into the centre console screen via video out
So it looks more OEM and limit the dashboard clutter and distraction

To much to ask for?

I found the app on the android market ... would you be so kind as to provide the link to the ebay auction for the BT interface.

Thanks in advance!

So far I have a few bugs,boost stops at 2.7lbs, did not read codes I thought. Imay have cleared them w/bt tool I forget
but I did throw one today it read it and cleared it. Hp seems abit off
But I dont have a stable mount yet. The app it self says buyer beware on the ebay interface. I'm gonna work with for awhile. Maybe someone will spend the money on a better unit. I also paid for the upgrade.$4..gonna test on a friends car tommorow..
