Has anyone ever tried this?

SEMA 2009: Rev for iPhone reaches 2.0, includes data-logging [w/ VIDEO] — Autoblog

Seems pretty awesome. Might try it out.

 

I have Dynolicious, results are consistent, but inaccurate... Rev probably uses the same hardware as Dynolicious does, iphone's accelerometer, thus should get the same results?... (for 0-60 1/4mile).

 

No, rev attaches to your ODBII port, and logs a myriad of engine and vehicle data, ECU and TCM data, and stuff like that. It gets 0-60 times and such from using those measurements, and not the accelerometer, although I think the accelerometer provides support for some of these activities, I believe. Rev does so much more than dynolicous it's not even funny. Also does GPS mapping and tracking stuff.

There's a guy on the G8 board who has a bluetooth ODBSII connector module that sits in hos ODBII port and connects to his iPhone and delivers vehicle info to Rev wirelessley. Has a video connection going to his console video screen. Pretty cool stuff.

 

It only monitors and shows you stuff right? That would be sick if you could tune with it like the cobb ap.

 

agreed... def. possible

 

So far, there are two iPhone apps that gather info from the OBD-II port:
DashCommand - Palmer Performance Engineering, Inc.
DevToaster - Rev - iPhone app development, Great iPhone apps, and more

A third one was announced and last year's SEMA, but it was never released:
LM-2 Wideband O2 Digital Air/fuel Ratio Meter

 

yeah, no, only monitors - and I was wrong, the ODBII transmitter uses wlan / WiFi
