Not bad. Half the price of the PLX setup that I have.

How fast does it update? I had an OBD scanner in my last car, but I only got updates once every few seconds or so... way to slow for really doing stuff with it.

Performance metrics are read off at a high rate, enough that when showing the simulated "gauges", it just feels like a mechanical gauge on your dash.
Read.

Is there a lap timer feature where laps are figured by GPS position and direction? Can you download the data to a program where you can play with it? For the track, that is where the utility is more so than real-time data acquisition.

Again, read.

The GPS mode, which I'd played around with in the Lite version, is still fun and should be interesting for track use -- basically will give you a color-coded map of the track showing where you were braking and accelerating.
Just kidding Tommy.

The connection indicator actually pulses as it reads off data. I would estimate that it's getting 4 or 5 samples a second. That's very smooth for a single gauge. There's also a multi-metric mode where it logs/displays up to 3 things at once and it seems like it time-shares a bit on those, but I'm not entirely sure of that.

But remember. If you compare this setup to another stand alone device. You have to add the cost of an iphone too.

Fortunately with the purchase of an iPhone, you also get a phone (and a GPS, and a .... )
