Read full descriptionHide full description
TorqueXpert SD is an automotive diagnostics, OBD data logging, and vehicle performance measurement application designed for car enthusiasts, technicians, and tuning professionals. Connect your iPhone to your vehicle using a compatible Bluetooth LE OBD-II adapter to access live vehicle data, perform diagnostics, record logs, measure power, and evaluate vehicle performance. KEY FEATURES OBD-II DATA LOGGING Record vehicle parameters in real time and save the data as CSV files for further analysis. POWER & TORQUE MEASUREMENT Calculate estimated engine power and torque using vehicle speed, engine RPM, acceleration, and other measurement parameters. PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT Measure vehicle acceleration, including 0–100 km/h and other acceleration intervals. The combined use of OBD and GPS data provides improved measurement accuracy and stability. During a measurement, the application can analyze vehicle speed, engine RPM, acceleration, G-force, altitude, air temperature, and Density Altitude (DA). After each run, detailed graphs of speed, RPM, and acceleration are available for further analysis. VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS Read and analyze diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), including stored, pending, and permanent faults where supported by the vehicle. ECU INFORMATION Access available ECU identification data, including VIN, calibration information, and other supported diagnostic parameters. DATA STORAGE & EXPORT CSV logs, measurement results, and diagnostic reports are stored locally and can be exported or shared for further analysis. ROAD SLOPE COMPENSATION GPS and vehicle data are used to determine road slope during power measurements. SUPPORTED OBD-II ADAPTERS TorqueXpert SD works with compatible Bluetooth LE OBD-II adapters based on ELM327 and compatible chipsets. For reliable operation, we recommend quality adapters such as: • Vgate vLinker MS • Vgate vLinker MC+ • Vgate iCar Pro • OBDLink MX+ Compatibility and available parameters depend on the specific vehicle, ECU, and OBD-II adapter. Cheap, unbranded ELM327 clones may have unstable connections, low communication speeds, or limited protocol support. A quality adapter is recommended for data logging and performance measurements. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Power and torque results are calculated estimates and depend on vehicle data, measurement conditions, and parameters provided by the user. Results are intended for informational, diagnostic, and comparative purposes and are not certified dynamometer measurements. Performance measurement results also depend on measurement conditions, GPS signal quality, available OBD data, and the equipment used. Always use the application safely. Do not interact with the application while driving. Use a passenger to operate the application when necessary, or perform required actions only when the vehicle is stationary. TorqueXpert SD is designed for automotive diagnostics, data analysis, power measurement, and vehicle performance evaluation.
Odyx

Odyx brings diagnostics, coding and ready-made features for vehicles on the MQB, MQB Evo and MLB Evo platforms to iPhone, iPad and Mac. Connect an OBD adapter, scan the car and see what you can turn on. No car or adapter? Try everything in the built-in simulator. READY-MADE FEATURES • A feature catalog for your car: see what is already on, what you can turn on and how it was verified — on a real car or from the platform map. • Head unit and navigation language, wireless CarPlay, radio region, lights, doors, sounds and the instrument cluster. The set of features depends on the platform, equipment and unit software. • Before writing: a "before / after / how to check" card and a byte-level change plan. A backup is made automatically. DIAGNOSTICS • Scan every unit: part numbers, software versions, a passport for each unit. • Faults explained, with freeze frames: when, at what mileage and how often. Clearing with a follow-up check. • Battery voltage and traces of voltage drops. CODING AND ADAPTATIONS • Long coding bit by bit, shown as switches. • Read and change supported adaptation channels. • SFD status, activation request and entry of a token obtained separately from an authorized provider. SERVICE BOOK • A log of every write: date, unit and the bytes that changed. • Roll back from backups. CONNECTION iPhone and iPad: compatible ELM327 adapters over Bluetooth LE. Mac: Bluetooth LE, Wi‑Fi, serial and DoIP (OBD-Ethernet). Adapter sold separately. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account needed. Vehicle data, history and backups are stored on the device. The feature catalog comes from the developer's server without identifiers. Notifications only if you turn them on. No ads, no tracking. COMPATIBILITY Profiles cover vehicles on the MQB, MQB Evo and MLB Evo platforms. What is available depends on the vehicle, part number, software version, adapter and protection status. Not every catalog entry can be written; its status is shown in the app. Compatibility with every vehicle on these platforms is not guaranteed. SFD tokens are not included, and Odyx does not bypass unit protection. Only make changes with the vehicle parked, the engine off, the ignition on and a stable power supply. Odyx is an independent product and is not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer. ODYX PRO SUBSCRIPTION Free: connection, unit scan, unit passport, reading and clearing faults, adaptations, the service book and rollback. Odyx Pro unlocks ready-made features and procedures for vehicles in the catalog, reading and writing coding, and SFD. Two plans: 1 month and 1 year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; renewal is charged within the last 24 hours of the period. Manage the subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your App Store account settings after purchase.
