Default an experience on taking performance test by iOBD2

iOBD2 is an app for your car. It makes your iPhone or iPad into a car diagnostic tool to read your car engine data.
The first impression iOBD2 gives me is that it is so small but with powerful function. Now plug the iOBD2 into the OBD connector on the car. Remember to check whether it is connected firmly.


Then download the free iOBD2 app from APP store on your iPhone.


Next set the Wi-Fi connection:
1. Select setting.


2. Select Wi-Fi.


3. Select iOBD2 network.


4. Fill the IP address and subnet mask. IP address: 192.168.0.11 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.



5. Turn off the cellular data on iPhone to check whether the IP address is set successfully.


6. The IP address is set when the Wi-Fi indicator displays on the status bar.


After completing the Wi-Fi setting, turn the ignition on. Then open the iOBD2 app and press connection button to select the car model to connect iOBD2 with the car OBD system.


iOBD2 read car data accurately, displaying data almost simultaneously with the dashboard. I also tried 0-60km/h, 0-80km/h, 0-100km/h acceleration test. The data was accurate and it feels like a professional sport car timer. Before testing, I was a little worried about the display of power and torque, but when I drove the car, the data of power and torque displayed perfectly.


I got to know iOBD2 on a forum and impressed by its function of 0-400m acceleration test. At that time I thought if the phone connected with OBD by Wi-Fi, the data must have some error. Or can the data be accurate? After test, I found the data display accurately.

You really needed to post ALL of those pictures in order to tell us what you bought and what was advertised to work really works?

Wonderful. It is still pointless
