Where did you get that from?

Noticed Scoobyworld were selling these a while back but were silly money.

Am I right in thinking you can monitor temps and pressures through it?

The wifi dongle was £20 from eBay and the software is for iPhone called Dash Command £34 in App Store.
You can change each of the fields to what you want and what the ECU can report on.

Couple more dash layouts that can be downloaded for free, there is about 500 to choose from for all tastes and cars.
Seen Andriod ones IE Torque etc, but if you have iphone/iPad this highly rated but at a cost.

Shot of the advanced setting page, this allows data to be entered to allow all the calculations to be more accurate.

Here you go:

Understand that the Bluetooth version works well on Andriod but not with apple products as they have restrictions on the Bluetooth stack in the software, if it is jail broken may be possible but for none jail broken phones it has to be wifi.

The ad says it Bluetooth but the photo is for the wifi version then in the description says Bluetooth wifi??
Don't think u can get one with both? And from HK,mine from UK arrived next day, may be worth asking that seller if they have the BT version

Here's one for Andriod and Bluetooth:

It was just a quick search. I used this app on a seat Leon I had. It's not bad. Just make sure all your parameters are correct.

Top one is called Forrestet STi Boost and the second is called Tuxedo Landscape.
Both can be found in the dashboard download section in the app.
