## What is DashCAN?

This app requires a DashCAN Bluetooth Interface to connect to your car's ECU. (www.dashcan.eu)

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a powerful automotive dashboard. IgnitronECU connects to your vehicle's ECU via Bluetooth Low Energy and displays real-time engine data through beautiful, customizable gauges.

Live Engine Gauges
Monitor RPM, coolant temperature, exhaust gas temperature, intake air temperature, manifold pressure, throttle position, oil temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, vehicle speed, lambda, fuel pressure, power, torque, ignition advance, knock amplitude, gear position, and more — all in real time.

Fully Customizable Dashboard
Choose from 7 gauge designs including analog needles, bar gauges, text displays, and live charts. Drag, resize, and arrange gauges freely on your screen. Save and load layout presets to switch between configurations instantly. Customize colors to match your style.

Shift Light
Configurable RPM-based shift light indicator helps you nail every gear change on track or on the strip.

GPS Lap Timer
Built-in lap timer with GPS tracking for track days. Define your own tracks with finish line and sector points. Get real-time lap times, best lap tracking, delta times, sector splits, and a live track map. Analyze your laps with detailed post-session breakdowns including G-force telemetry.

Performance Meter
Measure 0-100 km/h, 100-200 km/h, quarter-mile times, and create custom speed or distance-based measurements. Track your results with split times and full session history.

Data Logging
Record telemetry sessions with all connected sensor data. Review logs with interactive charts, zoom, and data pointers. Export logs for further analysis.

Cloud Sync
Create an account to upload and back up your lap timer sessions, logs, and performance results to the cloud.

Import & Export
Share gauge configurations, button layouts, indicator setups, and log data using custom file formats (.dcg, .dcb, .dci, .dcl).

CAN Bus & OBD Support
Works with DashCAN Bluetooth adapters for direct CAN bus communication. Supports a wide range of ECU protocols and sensor types.

Designed for the Track
Landscape-only, full-screen interface optimized for dashboard mounting. Works on both iPhone and iPad with tablet-optimized scaling.
