Best app for Kiwi 2 Wifi?

Torque works fine for me.

 

I've been using DashCommand.

 

For OBD codes do you guys see actual values at the OBD plug with these apps? i.e., actual voltages for the sensors?

Curious as how expanded the info is over a basic code reader.

Thanks

 

Yes, voltages can be displayed.

 

Eric...can see you the voltage outputs of the Cat ecu?

 

I would have to check and see.

 

Maybe you could take some screen shots of it in the voltage display mode. That would be really helpful in trying to sort out some OBD codes I think.

 

Tell me about rebuilding your hyperflows. Is Troy recoring them? How old were they?

What is the cost? Thank you.

 

DashCommand provides quite a bit of live data (called PIDS) however cat temps or voltages from the TC or TCU is not one of them.

This is a limitation of the car, not the tool.

I get cat temps with this tool on my Audi S5

You do get however, alot of useful data like fuel trims by bank, 02 sensor voltages, air/fuel ratio, coolant temp, rpm, road speed (it can then calculate the selected gear if you input the gear ratios which i thought was cool), and a ton of other stuff.

It can also record and graph for playback and analysis.

And it does read and clear codes and works in your other OBD2 vehicles.

I am probably going to get a dash mount for my ipad so i can monitor some items such as fuel trims and coolant temp all the time.

 

There definitely is a bit of a learning curve.

I also found most of the default gauge screens not that useful but so far I have been using it with the specific purpose of diagnosing running rich code I got and to that end I have pretty much been focusing on the fuel trims and coolant temp.

Will play around with it more once I am confident I have that problem resolved.

 

Forgot to mention, there are "add on" sensors available (such as K type TCs) that you could use to monitor things that the ECU doesn't (or doesn't report) natively.

No experience with them, just saw when I was browsing.

 

I spoke to them about this and looked at them thoroughly.

First off the thermocouples plug into the add ons so it would negate your cat ecu unless you were to try and split the TC signal which would really be a mess.

Beyond that there really is no discussion other than the add ons are $70 each and of course would need to be physically mounted , etc. I think the first thing I mentioned is a deal breaker on them anyway.

Tapping the outputs as I have described and monitoring them with a DVOM is really easy and accurate and doesnt upset the normal operation of the ecu.
