I think this looks pretty cool, pretty much the same as the Liquid S3 i imagine.

Probably cheaper too as all you need to do is buy the wifi adapter for the port and the app for the phone.. And obviously have the phone!

That sounds quite good. Shame i havent got an iphone.
Whats a liquid s3
 
Are they available for pre-facelift cars?

The Liquid S3 I mean?
 
Ooh i know what it is now, cheers voorhees
 
i have been looking through their website, and how do you go about ordering their hardware, and how much does it cost?

That looks awesome!!!... It will work out to be a bit more expensive than a liquid S3, due to the wifi OBD interface requirement, but it's so much more portable/doesn't require butchering the vents and is probably much easier to update!

Sounds like I now where some of my bonus is going next month!!! :drool:

Hey Dani, I think you misunderstood. The REV is an application for the iPhone, which can connect to a wireless adapter that provides the data from the car.

As such, the iPhone provides the screen and the control interface... Here is a demo:

Yeah your right i did, i only read snipets of the thread, my bad :blush:
 
Ok so just realised i can use the ipod touch with this :yahoo: but this may seem a blonde question but where do i buy the rev software from (had alook all over apple store and cant find it) and where do i get the interefaces from?
 
audi upgrades
Well ive been on th apple store and just cant find it :uhm:
 
I just typed 'revs' in the search and found it in the app store more or less right away...

Its in the sports section...

You are using iTunes rather than the online apple store? I didn't think you could buy apps etc through the website, its iTunes you need...

<tuffty/>
 
For that software to work on the iPhone or iPod, you need a wireless ODBII dongle. These are £100 plus I think.

Just thought I would mention it.
 
Ok so ive managed to find the software (you have to actualy load itunes up then look on their :whistle2:) but where can i get the connector from?

ahh im pretty sure the software would work but i just dont get how it would connect to your car! unless it connected like a wireless net work! only worried cos i want it!!! looks a great toy!!:o.k:
 
You would need to buy a WiFi ODBII dongle. That software does not work with anything else. I may buy one I think.

I know what you mean but hasnt the ipod touch got wifi?
 
The only thing putting me off buying it is the fact its going to cost best part of £300 after buying an ipod and i think id have togo with the obdkey wlan, looks the best and its the dearest haha.
Is it really worth £300!!!

you do have a valid point........but im a fool for a gadget!! and i already have the itouch :)
 
Does the Liquid S£ not do all above, maybe not a nice gauges but it does it all. and has nice fitting in the vent too?
 
Yeah, but this software tells you error codes in the ECU. I reckon if it took off then a lot more could be done to it (developers) such as clearing ECU logs, writing to ECU but then there would be audi knocking on doors, or atleast companys like Rosstech etc. And I reckon the Hardware of the WIFI dongle would come down too.... in time. At the moment the cheapest I can see is £204.

Group buy per chance?
 
I would deffinately be in for a group buy.
I love the idea of the liquid s3 but refuse to lose a vent, if they did a housing for the a pillar id get a liquid s3.
 
Dont think the software works with bluetooth.... not the last time I checked... that was about a month ago though. Also the advertise it as iphone and ipod compatible.... the ipod touch dont have bluetooth. Will be great if it does work with bluetooth as it is cheaper... but I really dont think it does.

It definitely does not work via bluetooth. The device you need is a wifi adapter, which works via an ad-hoc network connection with both ipod touch and iphone.
 
leshkin your in the it trade arnt you, any idea where we could find a good cheap obd wifi connector?
