Want your car to sound like an expensive muscle car? Now you can! NOTE: DragFX requires a compatible 3rd party hardware interface. Supported interfaces include: – OBDLink WiFi – OBDLink MX WiFi – OBDKey WLAN – Kiwi 2 for iOS – Kiwi 3 The hardware allows DragFX to connect to your vehicle's OBD interface, so that the sound produced by DragFX accurately matches your engine's actual RPM in real time. Hear the sound of a turbocharger blow-off valve when your RPM drops below a configurable threshold. DragFX can also provide an audible indication when 3 different RPM thresholds have been exceeded to assist in shifting gears. You can even listen to music while also enjoying the sound of a souped-up engine! Without the hardware, a slider allows manual control of the RPM to preview the available engine sounds.

EngineForge turns your iPhone into a live engine sound simulator. Pick an engine — inline-four, V8, flat-six and more — and EngineForge generates a real-time tachometer and exhaust note that responds to how you actually drive. NO ADAPTER REQUIRED EngineForge reads your speed and acceleration straight from your iPhone's GPS and motion sensors, revving the simulated engine as you accelerate and settling as you cruise. WANT REAL DATA? Connect a Bluetooth OBD2 (ELM327) adapter to drive the revs from your car's actual throttle position. Electric vehicle mode reads speed instead of throttle. CARPLAY READY See your custom tachometer right on your car's display. FEATURES • Build your own engine: layout, cylinder count, displacement • Real-time tachometer with redline • Engine audio that rises and falls with your speed • GPS + motion revs — works with no extra hardware • Optional OBD2 support for live throttle • Electric vehicle mode • CarPlay dashboard • Adjustable volume EngineForge is for entertainment. Always keep your eyes on the road and follow all local laws.
