phone apps

[cndctrdj]

So I was wondering what you guys use on your phones in your car.

I've got an android and use
Torque with Chevy pids
Waze
Laphd
Onstar
Efficiency

Was wondering if anyone has anything else and also looking for a good mileage one

I have an iphone and I find Waze to be an outstanding GPS/traffic app. I also have finesbuster but I'm still not sure if it actually works or not. It's also a battery killer.

I use torque, onstar link, my chevy and fuel log for my car.

I've never heard of mychevy

Never mind, does not work for my android

I use Onstar and the Fuelly App for tracking MPG.

Torque - untill I install my Aeroforce Guages
Waze
Pandora - Link to Mylink
Fuelly
OnStar Remote Link(You don't see this line, laborsmith)

I have a Razr, and when I search for myChevrolet it indicates my device isn't compatible with this version. It looks like an interesting application, which I could get it.

I've been considering grabbing the Torque app.

Torque is great, so much you can do with it

Screw that, there are ways to install.
I love rooting - install any app I download via SD card.

I love fuel log, self-contained and has all I need.

So I was wondering what you guys use on your Torque with Chevy pids
mileage one

CHevy pids?

Although there are some universal "pid" codes that say, ultraguage or scangauge can read there are proprietary ones that manufacturers have access to that universal readers dont.

Basically, ODBII is a universal/open format that all technicians can have access to. (per the standard)
There are things that the manufacturer keeps to themselves as well.
These "manufacturer's secrets" are only available to those willing to pay the licensing fee to know what they are and how to treat them.
(So for him to uses Chevy's "secret" pid's he has to pay the Torque app maker which pays Chevy a cut)

Basically, a pid is specific type of data. (boost, O2 bank1, O2bank2, ABS, etc)
If you know what to ask for and how to manage that data you can gain more insight to the car.
