OBDII Smart gauge

[AEH]

Thanks everyone for your input. To show you how little I know about it, I didn’t really get that the “smarts” is in the app and not in the dongle. I have an iPhone so I’ll look at those suggestions. I see a Dash command app in the App Store for $9.99. So that and an iPhone compatible dongle is all I need?

You need dongle to be compatible with the iPhone and with the app. If you plan on using dash command then reach out to them what their preference is for dongle. Dash command may have their own dongle. BTW, that’s what I didn’t like about the paid apps, they nickel and dime you, at least that’s my opinion. You pay $10 for the app, then you notice you need oil pressure, oh that’s another $5 to get the “advanced pack” etc. Thats why I use the car scanner app, it’s free, it works and has all the gauges. Maybe doesn’t look as pretty, but it’s straight forward digital gauges. Or you can customize them to look analog, change color, layout, etc.

Get the veepak dongle from Amazon, try the car scanner app, play with it, if you don’t like it, delete it, return the dongle to Amazon and pay for the dash command.

Thanks. Dash command has a hardware page that’s lists supported devices. Only gopoint for ios but I think it’s outdated, so a call is probably a smart idea. With a quick search it looks like several on the list are no longer available. But several reviews say the Veepeak ble+ works well with it and iPhone so I ordered one and I’ll give it a try. Veepeak site also says it’s compatible.
