What is this? What is the install like? It is simply an ODB II connection?
I'm very iffy on my Roush gauge and that's what started me down this path. It's only showing maybe 6 and peak and should be more like 11. Also it's my second gauge and doesn't seem consistent with the first one that showed higher readings. It's like it pegs at six and stops, but I think my boost is actually fine.
Yes it’s an OBD II connection. There isn’t any “install” really. Just plug it in and connect to it.
You can get the ELM 27 OBD II dongle plug it in and download the app of your choice. The dongles are pretty cheap usually less than $10. Then you can use your phone or a tablet of your choice.
I had an amazon fire 8 HD tablet that I got for free so I just used that. They are only $60 if you need to buy one. I feel like it’s the perfect size and you don’t need extra tablet features of say an iPad.
I used a magnet cell phone mount and stuck it to the dash. It sits low enough that it doesn’t sit above where the hood line is so there is no loss on the field of view for the road.
The app I downloaded let’s you customize your screens so you can put what ever parameters you want to look at.
The transmission temp sensor should be standard on the truck, for my 13 it was already on there, and even accessible via the truck app in the instrument panel.
Also a huge benefit I have found is if you throw any codes you can read and clear them on the fly.
I will get more pics of the other screens and post them in a bit.
