There a several different apps now that claim to do similar things. Does anyone know if any of them record the accelerometer data? One claims to record the performance data so you can email it, but if it is just the summary results (0-60 qtr mile, max g) it would be neat but not useful. If I could playback recorded data and compare runs (even if I had to send it to my computer first) that would be something.

Anyone know what gets recorded?

One of my buddies tried this in his mustang. It gets pretty close. You have to make sure the iphone/Ipod is completely secure, any movement will throw the reading off. It is pretty cool

wtlm . . .

As they liked to say on another car forum I used to frequent (welcome to last month).

There have already been a couple of previous threads merged on the topic:

http://www.caymanclub.net/general-of...nce-stats.html

Still waiting on my iPhone mount so that I can put it to use.

Sorry about the re-post, I'm still learning my way around CC.

A new iPhone app that promises to read OBD metrics with the paid version of the product when it is launched. No oil pressure reading however. There is a free light version available that advertises: "Lateral and Forward Acceleration: Graph your cornering, braking and acceleration G-forces. (Available in Rev Lite)
GPS Track: Visual track displays your location and acceleration data - see how you are braking and accelerating around corners."


The complete version is also supposed to allow "Engine Code Retrieve and Reset" according to their web page.

The ability to link directly to the OBD port would make that app very cool.

I just downloaded TrackDay, which looks pretty similar to Dynolicious. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to test it out yet since I'm still waiting on my Ram-Mount.

Durametric too - but unfortunately both those programs are Windows based (and I don't know if the iPhone processor would be capable of running a DME flash anyway).

Yeah, I guess if a small form factor was that important for the input, one could use one of the Sony 4.5 inch PCs that runs a full implementation of the winOS...

Perhaps it would be nice to carry specialized chip profiles around to be called up to suit the purpose. Kind of like making truly useful variations of sport chrono.
