I did a review on it for my local chapter
Well its late posting but I had made the comment about getting something awesome for my iPhone. I got it in but I wanted to use it a bit before I commented on it. I ended up getting a Kiwi Wifi OBD II adapter
What it does is transmit the information from your OBD compliant car and from there allows another device with wifi to connect to it and read the data. Its very useful and has been handy. We went to the track this weekend and I was able to work on some bugs and be able to see how the car reacts under certain load and throttle positions. In addition it allows me to datalog which helps for when you are driving and cant look at the phone at the same time.
As you see above it shows a map of what the car is doing and then has a legend to correspond with the data. I used Rev for the track but there are a total of 3 apps that work so far with this device. In addition to getting the data it also allows you to have real time gauges: Boost, intake temp, engine load, etc. etc. I have been impressed so far and think it has been very useful! In addition I have been able to plug into cars and of course use basic features like checking CELs and then also clearing them accordingly. Another nice feature it has is track day which I am looking forwardto using next year. It uses GPS to track you and will time your laps as well as make a layout of the course. Anyone that is looking for a good Xmas gift for themself I would recommend it!
