It promises an ODB wireless for the iphone that allows reading/resetting codes, reads real time info from the engine, has internal iphone accelerometer data (acceleration, gps mapping, g-forces, time to 60/100, etc).

Suggestion

As a datalogger, the cheapest* is the Innovate OC-1, but it is bug laden and very hard to get running *correctly*, but once working, it is great.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I bought a Pocketlogger for troubleshooting on a different car but it works on the Boxster too so I thought I'd share. It can read and clear codes but the really cool thing is that it can log operation of the car. You can watch and record timing, load, O2 sensor operation, speed and various other things. It plugs into the OBD2 port (you have to pull the connector out of the bracket to fit) and you have to pick up a PalmPilot, but you can get a cheap used one from the list of compatible units. http://www.pocketlogger.com/index.php?pid=plobdii

Have you run across the REV app for the iphone, yet? It promises an ODB wireless for the iphone that allows reading/resetting codes, reads real time info from the engine, has internal iphone accelerometer data (acceleration, gps mapping, g-forces, time to 60/100, etc). I'd be interested in comments from others as to how useful this iphone app will be. Wireless ODB claims to start shipping in November. http://devtoaster.com/products/rev/index.html Jim

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That looks cool, but I didn't see that it mentions that you can save the data. There's a huge benefit to being able to save the data and analyze it later.

POST 4Original post

This looks to be up and running in full featured form now, and the hardware side is more reasonable now due to a California company's offering in the listed compatible hardware. I think I'm going to grab this setup since my iPhone is always on me anyway. I'll post a review when I do get the hardware.

POST 5Original post

I was the first person to purchase the original wifi Rev hardware (from ElmCan) when it was released and the developer gave me a copy of the software. Through the few revisions that have been made, the bugs have been eliminated and with either an ipod touch or iphone, the Rev software and hardware package works great. If you want something more full featured, the Rev hardware also works with Carcode Mueller's ScanTool software (which I also have). As a datalogger, the cheapest* is the Innovate OC-1, but it is bug laden and very hard to get running *correctly*, but once working, it is great. *cheapest without the cost of a laptop to log the data.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
