    Not sure if this is in the right place or not?

    Anyway, i was looking at the dash command app earlier, a friend is using it on his e46.

    Is any body familiar with this or something similar and will it be compatible with an R53?

    Torque on android is brilliant. I've got an old phone hinged under the toggle switches I use with an OBD reader. Gives me boost, IATs, whatever I want. Gauges can be set to flash at a certain level - my IAT one flashes at 50 degrees for example.

    Also clears fault codes

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    If you use dash vommand on iPhone it's expensive to buy the app but it's free on android. I bought the Bluetooth OBD reader for under £10 too but I've only used it a couple of times with the android app on a tablet I have
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Sounds like a good purchase then!

    @ecossegp, my work supplies all technology and it's all Apple. So I guess I will just have to pay for the app!
