HI anyone use one of these? https://www.autometer.com/dashlink-ii-obdii-digital-gauges-apple-ios-android.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7uvi7pOZ6gIVzZyzCh04lgW0EAQYASAB EgKnefD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Was researching online and wanted to see if anyone actually had real world experience with it..

Check out the Torque app, not the free one, I think it's like 5 bucks. Just purchase your favorite Blue tooth dongle for the OBD2 port and away you go....I use it, pretty cool, run it on my Android Tablet. Especially like the code reader and reset function.......

It seems like these systems can’t do oil pressure. Is that the case?

I picked up BlueDriver LSB2 Bluetooth Pro OBDII Scan Tool for iPhone & Android

It its in the top 3 on all reviews I found.. Now to pick an APP.. My preference is IOS because I have a few Ipads I can use.. and can also pick up a Ipad Mini.. cheap

I use Real Dash with an IPad mini and it even picks up what gear I am in with my TKO and LS3. I don't know how it does it but it does. Plenty of skins to pick from and it will even display what music you are playing. Price is right too.

You can also use Dash Command. It looks almost identical to Autometer's app.

Hi sorry for some reason I didn't get the notification of your reply. I am using a cheapie ELM327 adapter I bought on Ebay for something like $20. I heard the one from these guys is supposed to be pretty good. They go on sale for like $70 every now and then.
