Is there an app/software that anyone knows about for engine management for an iPad?

Doesn't have to be iPad - they just are off the shelf type hardware and an option.


Similar to a glass cockpit for GA is what I'm looking for.....



Since I'm about to rewire the entire rig - just thought about it.

I don't know of any apps specifically except for Torque, but that can be a little laggy. I don't consider it real-time.

I've looked at these units and similar from Amazon, Flea-bay, etc.

They require OBDII to interface.


There is also the Trail Tech units. While designed for MCs, they could be easily adapted to a truck

Are you looking for an easy way to get gauges or are you really gunning for a glass-cockpit arrangement?

Thinking about a glass cockpit. I like the trending information you can get from them.

But since this is a old school Bronco - carb, NP435..I think I'll go with analog style gauges and do a glass cockpit in another Bronco thats got modern stuff..auto trans, EFI, etc...



I may do a engine management system like this as an example:

Easiest and cheapest is probably Torque. But it requires OBD2 and can be slow to update, like approx 1 second refresh rate depending on how many items you log. Which is good enough for everything but Tach.ImageImage
