Default Dash Command - iOS

Anyone using the Dash Command app to monitor their car while driving? Trying to find an alternative to spending $300 on a Dashlogic. From what I've seen, Dash Command has everything I want to monitor and it can also datalog.

Only thing I am having trouble pulling up is the Ethanol Percentage. You can purchase a GM extension pack but it does not list Ethanol Percentage in the list. Don't want to spend the $10 for the pack if I am not going to be able to see my ethanol content. Can someone confirm that it is included in the pack? Do I need to setup a special vehicle to be able to use it?

Also, what module are you using to connect to your OBD port? The ELM337 wifi module I have messes with the electrical system of my car. I am looking to replace it.

How can an any of this figure out what kind of gasoline is in the tank?

I use an ethanol content sensor. The app pulls the info from the ECU.

Or you could just get a sensitive radiation detector. Ethanol is radioactive while gasoline is not. You can determine the amount of ethanol in a sample by measuring it's radioactivity.

I use Torque Pro with an Android phone... Simply the BEST... but to get Ethanol Percentage I had to program a new custom PID.... You just have to find the right code to enter
