Oh, and if you do like this option, skip out on the PDA holder from Nology and find your own. I went thru 2, and the suction cup always dies!!!!

There is also the Auterra software that this is based off of. It is cheaper too!!!

How well does this actually work? Do you know how fast the refresh rate is on that? The OBD II standard limits capturing data to 10 times a second and most OBD II readers I've seen are rarly able to capture above 3 times a second. On top of that you can only capture 1 value at a time for RPM, Speed, etc. so if you want to do a dyno or something that needs multiple values your generally not able to get data better then 1 time a second.

I can't quite remember what the refresh rate is right now, but I do remember that it is fast enough to do a dyno with on the PDA. When the correct info for variables are entered, it is pretty damn accurate.

So, did you develop this product, or are you just selling it?

It wouldn't be of great tuning use without the ability to use wideband O2.

The data given wouldn't be all that accurate. You'd be better off with an Apexi RSM or something along those lines.

Not entirely true! As you can see in the picture below, I have a wideband in my car.

BTW, no I didn't develop, nor do I sell this product. I'm just someone who decided to try it over a year ago, and I love it. I was the guinea pig for this product on the http://www.mazdamp3.com forums. It's like having a ****load of gauges in one. You can display up to 5 sensors at a time, reset CEL's (Check Engine Lights), and monitor sensors that most cars don't have displayed. You can see how advanced your timing is...how accurate is your speedo? My *** has been saved by this thing one day when I didn't follow proper procedure to refill my radiator after a flush, and my stock idiot gauge was asleep at the wheel. Anyways, here are a couple of links to the experiences myself and some others have had with it:

These are both PDA-based solutions.
