| Of course Dash Command can log your car’s OBDII data meaning you can log sensor output, good stuff when troubleshooting a late model car. |
 |
| Data logging is touch screen easy. |
 |
| Dash Command has an app to accurately track your fuel economy and range. |
 |
| Perhaps the best thing about Dash Command is that it can read and erase OBDII trouble codes and read if SRT or readiness codes are tripped. A lot of apps can do this but we have had a lot of issues with compatibility with our phone or car with a lot of the the cheap apps. Your results with your car or phone might be different but we checked many cars with several phones. Dash Command consistently worked with our combinations. With smog checks in the near future reading SRT codes, it is important to make sure that all of yours are being tripped before going to the smog station and fixing the issues ahead of time. Here we see that the evap system code is not being tripped in this Subie. This would cause the car to fail a smog trip. We traced the problem to a leaky gas cap. |

| We use the skidpad feature to do quick checks of a car’s handling quite frequently at MotoIQ. |
 |
| Dash Command has a neat track mapping feature where it works with Google maps and draws a GPS based track map where you can measure segment times and g forces. This is our neighborhood, not a track! |
In short, the PLX Devices KIWI Bluetooth adaptor works flawlessly across a wide variety of cars and cell phones. We recommend this useful tool. Of all the OBDII reading apps on the market, we found the Palmer Performance Engineering Dash Command app to be worth it’s higher price due to its glitch free operation across a wide range of phones and cars, useful features and real tech support.
