I'm looking into getting one since iphone has a good app that's used in conjunction with it. There's a lot of different devices out there so I was curious if anyone has any recommendations. URD has a Kiwi WiFi module on special that I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on, any others I should be looking at? :headscratch:

Also, the "Rev" app for iphone looks really cool :thumbup: but I haven't heard much feedback on it. Is anyone using it?

The only other one I know of is the one made by Innovate Motorsports. Basically it looks like they all have the same features so it will just depend on which one seems like it will have the best support an the lowest price.

I LOVE IT!!!

I haven't used the app to its full potential on my truck since its been acting as my code reader since my normal code reader died.

Its awesome, I did not get the Kiwi is the iMFD due to the fact that the truck is naturally aspirated and will most likely stay that way.

It reads codes, monitors all that the Manufacture will allow out of the OBDII port.
Does pretty much all that the info on the app says it will.

and with the iMFD hook up, your options to read more are almost endless!

The standard is $150
The one with iMFD is $250

each iMFD module varies in price and here is a link to them:

Here is a link to the Innovate Motorsports one. It is compatible with the Innovate MTS chain, which sounds like the IMFD for PLX.

I actuall downloaded that one and I couldn't get it to work with my plx.
Did not recognize it was there.


The Rev app is $40 for FYI.
Well worth it I feel

It makes sense that the Innovate App would only be compatible with the Innovate hardware (specifically the OT-2).

I don't think the PLX has serial outputs, does it?
