Dashlogic does display the PID, once the feature is activated in your tune.

I have the torque app with a $10 Bluetooth obd reader. There's a formula that generates the % for a custom created PID. You'll have to Google it. It was good reviews. But I've been on straight e85 so I dunno if it's working or not

I have the Torque Pro app and I display ethanol % with the following formula for PID 220052
(A/255)*100

Assuming you have a flex fuel sensor correct? I know that's a dumb question, but just making sure?

Haha, yeah. I called the performance shop that did the work and they said they needed to 'turn on' something so the OBD reader would read the ethanol level. Getting that done Monday.
