Anyone running a ODB2 gauge?

[Polar Bear]

I find there’s a lag with OBD fusion. I’ve paired it with the Veepeak and I love the endless gauges and measurable parameters. Just seems glitchy and slow to me personally. I’ve searched for a OBD to iPhone cable (I don’t think it exists). Just my 2 cents. If I could solve the delay it’d be my go to for sure.

Yes, this wouldn't suit a race car application but until I find something better, it's nice to have the extra info at hand

@Polar Bear (or anyone else) if you find an OBDII boost gauge setup like in your first post here would you let us know? I would like something like that as well. Currently use my phone and Torque app when I want that info.

Would prefer something less bulky than my phone on the dash. I found one but it was in some strange unit of measurement I'm not familiar with. I don't want to be doing unit conversion in my head while driving. I do not mind the units in bar, would prefer inHG (Inches of mercury) and PSI units.

To the original poster being in vacuum (negative numbers) is fine. Generally, that is where you should spend most of the engine time - same speed cruising (on level ground), idling, deceleration, going downhill, etc. When your foot is in the throttle and accelerating is where you will see the positive boost numbers.

There's also DashDaq. I have this pod in my Cobalt Turbo with a S2000 gauge skin like this but showing boost as primary display. Very fast response...

I have a bluedriver. It's primarily a code reader. It will graph some things, but I don't think it will do quite what you want. It is a fantastic little code reader and very worth it for that job.

Sid....Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the gauges....got the Torque Pro app up and running real time data...just waiting for the magnetic mount to arrive tomorrow and then install in the dash tray. Has a great look on the dash because the tablet is just the right size....not too big to obstruct view and big enough to see small and medium size gauges well...I'm happy!!!

Next you know, your odometer is at 99,999 miles ? ?

Yes, it will be there in a flash really. Oh well, my warranty runs out at 125K so after that it's new intercooler and maybe a turbo upgrade. Unless I get a new one and start all over

I have heard of ways to have Torque Pro getting displayed through Android Auto as well, but that will be a future project.

Yes this is possible using the ODB2AA app from XDA labs. Guage graphics are a bit limited but will display any value that Torque Pro will.

Here is something I fell into at Walmart when looking to purchase a generic screen protector for the old Fire 7 tablet I'm using for the dedicated Torque Pro setup. Liquipel....It is a nano coating of liquid glass...I figured what the heck I'll give it a try. I am a big fan of nano coatings on windshields. Anyway, I ended up putting down 3 coats and it turned out awesome. I'll report back on how it holds up. Attached are some pics of the application.....
Clean screen with alcohol wipes
Wipe well with micro cloth
Apply 5-8 drops of Liquid Glass
Evenly wipe Liquid Glass across screen
Wait 5 minutes
Buff with micro cloth to remove excess Liquid Glass
Cures in 24 Hours

So maybe I missed it in this thread but does anyone have a link to Torque Pro PID's for the Ranger? If not has anyone tried or experimented with PID's for the Focus ST or RS to see if they work with the Ranger?.....TIA
