Feature-Rich Overview: Unleashing the Power of DashLink II
The AutoMeter DashLink OBDII control module is packed with features designed to enhance your driving experience and provide valuable insights into your vehicle’s operation. Here’s a detailed look at what DashLink II offers:
Customizable Virtual Gauges
Personalize your display by choosing the gauges you want to see and positioning them exactly where you prefer on your iOS or Android device. Whether you’re interested in engine temperature, speed, or fuel economy, DashLink II lets you create a virtual dashboard tailored to your specific needs.
Comprehensive Data Logging
Record and playback data logs showcasing a wide range of OBD-II parameters and acceleration data. This feature is invaluable for performance analysis, allowing you to review driving sessions and pinpoint areas for improvement.
Peak Value Recall
Keep your focus on the road or track while still capturing critical maximum values. The peak recall function allows you to conveniently review maximum readings at a later time, ensuring you don’t miss important performance metrics.
Integrated Skid Pad Display
Visualize lateral and acceleration/braking G-forces with minimum and maximum indicators. This feature is particularly useful for performance driving and understanding vehicle dynamics during cornering and braking.
Rainbow Track Mapping
For track enthusiasts, the rainbow track map visually represents your location, acceleration, and braking as you complete laps. Compare different laps to analyze variations in acceleration and braking patterns, helping you refine your track performance.
Inclinometer for Off-Road Adventures
Monitor your vehicle’s pitch and roll angles, essential information for off-road driving and navigating challenging terrains.
OBD-II Diagnostic Support
Effortlessly read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Understand why your check engine light is illuminated and take informed action, potentially saving on costly trips to the mechanic for simple issues.
Average Value Calculations
Calculate average fuel consumption, vehicle speed, boost pressure, or any other monitored parameter over a trip or driving session. Gain insights into your driving habits and vehicle efficiency.
Trip Computer Functionality
Maintain detailed statistics for up to five individual trips. Track distance traveled, fuel consumed, average speed, and more, allowing you to monitor trip efficiency and driving patterns.
Automatic Data Logging Triggers
Set up automatic data logging to begin when specific conditions are met, such as exceeding a certain pedal position or manifold pressure. Capture data precisely when you need it most during performance driving or specific vehicle events.
GPS Track Mapping with PID Coloration
Utilize GPS track mapping with line coloration based on user-selectable PIDs (Parameters IDs), such as instantaneous MPG, horsepower/torque, or pedal position. Visualize your performance data overlaid on your driving route.
Configurable Alarms and Alerts
Set custom alarms and alerts with audible warnings when user-defined conditions are triggered. Receive immediate notifications for critical parameters like engine temperature or speed.
Social Media Integration
Share your performance results and driving achievements easily by linking to Facebook and posting updates directly from the DashLink II app.
