The hand held unit arrived in a flash but for some reason, the dongle took a few weeks.no reason givenĪnyhow - I am more than pleased with the performance of both units and being able to monitor the engine on my iPhone all for under $120. My only small hassle was chasing up the dongle from Dealer Extreme.
WHAT IS PCMSCAN ANDROID
The iPhone app is very good and gives me a broad range of 'real-time' engine parameters while on the go however, I have viewed and used the Android app as a comparison and know that it has more features than the Apple product. I have the dongle paired to my iPhone and use the 'Dash Commander' app which at $52 is a bit hefty compared to the Android 'Torque' app which is only $4.50 Both work fine for what I need them for and that is - being able to diagnose a DTC out in the bush so I know what is wrong once I get back to civilisation and.have the ability to clear fault codes rather than drive for long distances with flashing MIL lights on the dash All you have to do is try it out.I have both the dealer extreme dongle and the hand-held unit.
