Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Trawled eBay again ;-) OBD2 to Wifi hardare found

    First of all, found an app for iOS that seems interesting:
    DashCommand
    DashCommand - Palmer Performance Engineering, Inc.



    Its got virtual dashboards, skid pad, race track and even Inclinometer





    Interestingly the hardware bit (an OBD to Wifi or Bluetooth thingamabob) ranges from $44 to $126 or so.
    You can also get them from eBay from $28 onwards.

    They also have Windows and Android versions of the software.

    For me its just bling, as I don't know how useful the information is to a noob like me, but some may find it a tad more useful.
    Cheers, Abuthen.

    You clearly have too much time on your hands

    Though you then have to mount your phone somewhere too.

      Like me, you may find this initially quite fun. The iPhone app is good to play with, but ultimately most info is unreadable on the small screen. You also have to connect the wifi each time, and set up the phone.

      Don't use this anymore ... now I have a FIS+

          You clearly are right about me having too much time. Lol. BTW on the other thread about the HUD, i ended up ordering it. I'll only really know when I get back to Australia mid-Jan.

          Are you saying you used to use this?

          Like I said earlier, most of this info will be gibberish to me. Though if size is the issue, an iPad mini would be nice.

            Yep, used to use it. As I said, interesting, but too much trouble.
