It's not capable of doing so at the moment, because no program exists, but if it had the correct cable and software, sure. ...and if an anchor could float, it wouldn't be an anchor....

No shit, and I'm aware the link I posted is NOT a tuner, but it's something else discussed in this thread. And I'm not telling people to buy an iPhone specifically for tuning. I'm saying it would be nice to have a tuner application to have for the iPhone. I missed the part where I specifically directed anyone to buy an iPhone. carkhz (or however you spell his handle ) said HE would buy one specifically for that, but I didn't.

gpchris Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Should be about right to the wheels.. almost 31% drivetrain loss.... seems a bit too low if you ask me. Adams 1994 grand prix se 3100 on a REAL dyno made 124whp. My 1995 grand prix se made 123 on dynolicious... Seems pretty accurate to me.

I'm not sure why the derisiveness, but I would love to have a PCM tuner for my iPhone. Looks like a nice app, but it needs some kind of Wifi-to-OBDII device. The iPhone has a serial and USB port, but I don't think either is accessible via the iPhone SDK. To write a tuner or scanner is actually a ton easier with Windows Mobile, although there's not nearly a fraction of the following for those compared to iPhones. BTW, for those who may be ethically challenged, I found both apps on appulo.us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89SupremeCutty Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Should be about right to the wheels.. almost 31% drivetrain loss.... seems a bit too low if you ask me. Adams 1994 grand prix se 3100 on a REAL dyno made 124whp. My 1995 grand prix se made 123 on dynolicious... Seems pretty accurate to me. ok so a 3100 only makes 124hp at the wheels. but what about an lq1? that should make more at the wheels than 123hp. still dosn't seem that accurate.

GP1138 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 So.... do people really need this or want this? I don't see why anyone would need it but if you already have an iPod Touch or iPhone (and if there was a decent scanner for iPod touch it wouldn't be terrible to pick one up used for this specific purpose. It's entirely possible that you could get a cable made and an application programmed, unfortunately the market really isn't big enough.) it's $10 for Dynolicious, and that's $$ you don't have to spend on a G-tech that's not quite as accurate, at least from the results I've seen.

Stevo Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 People don't NEED either device but it would be interesting to see the results of your vehicle. However, If you DID have one and some open space, you could charge $10 bucks per vehicle and make 3 runs with 3 results on the weekend and make some coin. A $10 app could rake in some cash to an entrepreneur. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that most people feel that with all the Iphone has to offer, this is just one other sweet thing for gearheads who have Iphones, not specifically a replacement for a dedicated tuner or scanner.

w-bodys_are_the_best Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I've had it on both my ipod touches, and I love this app, I couldn't get lower than an 18 something in the cav Z24 (it's had a cutout issue for awhile now at anything over 3/4 throttle and above 3.5-4k RPM). I got a 16.2 or 16.3 with my 96 Buick PA Ultra , can't wait till the international is put together and the new engine broke in properly so I can get some LQ1/284 times.

oscar_wilde Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I so have to try this! How did you get the screen shots? I haven't used mine since the SDK came out, everything I did was from jailbreaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
