I'm using the GoPoint BT1 because seemed to have the least issues.

Anyone know if we can use Harry's Grand Prix with a wifi ODB scanner and wifi gopro?
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.

Hey everyone,
I just bought a WiFi ODBII scanner for $23:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...im&tag=fged-20
And I'd like to make videos that look like ALapRecord (Android only) on my iPhone:

The best software I could find for iphone was DashCommand $50:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dash...ign-mpt=uo%3D4
Have any other recommendations?
Harry's Lap Timer
is excellent...
Three different feature levels as described
here
, $10 (Rookie), $20 (Petrolhead), $28 (Grand Prix).
The
Petrolhead version
is probably the one you need unless you want multiple camera angles (you can slave a second IOS device or Hero camera for secondary recording on the Grand Prix).
Video's like this are very easy to generate, also will overlay OBD data if you configure it correctly. You can also configure external, high resolution GPS units for a higher level of accuracy, but I've found the camera and GPS built in to the iphone provide excellent results for track days.

Harry's Lap Timer has a good
forum
were you can get answers to your specific questions, but I don't think this will work... Not a fault of HLT or the iPhone, but GoPro's wifi connection limitation.
Typically it is the super inexpensive bluetooth OBD readers that have difficulty connecting to Apple i devices, not wifi versions... Apple enforces security standards for data devices connecting with bluetooth to iDevices, and I think only one OBD bluetooth device is compliant, the
GoPoint BT1
.
If you jailbreak your iDevice, you can usually get the cheapo bluetooth OBD devices to connect.
You can do it with a Bluetooth OBD dongle. I'm currently using this set-up with Gopro hero 3 black and my iPad mini. I would recommend checking out HLT forums they are very help in getting things set-up. Harry is also ver responsive to set-up questions.
Slopesider can chime in as well, but I'm pretty sure the *only* BT OBD2 device that will work with an ipad/iphone that is not jailbroken is going to be the
GoPoint BT1
I mentioned above, about $100..
If you have a jailbroken iDevice, most of the cheapo ELM327 dongles can be made to work, though they can be difficult to get set up properly. You will need additional Cydia Apps,
RoqyBT4
and
RoqyOBD
. Roqy charges a few bucks to enable full functionality with the OBD2 device.
If you are not familiar with jailbreaking, or don't know what Cydia is, or have a IOS version for which their is currently no jailbreak, I'd suggest just going with the GoPoint BT device for the extra $70 or so and having a fully supported solution.
I'm using this generic BT OBD2 device with my Jailbroken iPad mini, with Harry's Lap Timer, with GoPro Hero3 wifi connection.
$24 on Amazon.

Using an extension cable helps put the BT dongle in a better location,

for more info. Harry has conducted extensive testing and will out line exactly what you need to do to get everything working.
I bought the same Wifi unit and software as the OP. In the setup of DashCommand where you select your car, they list "Porche", which doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the software. It also doesn't list any models under that heading. Not sure if that has any bearing on what data it pulls down, but it can't get my VIN. My ordinary ODBII reader pulls in the VIN without any problems.
Has anyone else encountered this and do you have a workaround?
I also bought the cable. Any suggestions on where and how to mount it?
I bought a dongle off ebay that works fine with the iPhone 5 and Harry's over wifi. Just look for one that supports KIWI wifi protocol and is iPhone compatible.
for the iphone crowd: I have a PLX devices wifi dongle and it works 90% of the time. I also have an ELM el-cheapo and after spending too much time trying to pair it, I gave up.
Mine says ELM 327 on it. They are all over ebay. I haven't had any problems pairing it up with a 5s but I have to manually pair it when I do use it. Not sure if it reads the VIN or not. Thanks for the PLX info though as these things are cheap enough that it's not worth fooling around with ones that aren't reliable. I'm fine with mine so far however, seems to work well with Harry's LT.
