and heres a review i found from an ls1.com.au forum member sais it all really

Got my GoLink cable today. Nicely packaged and I quite like how its logic controlled to not charge your iphone till data is present so you can leave it plugged in without draining your battery as OBDII is always powered.

The Free GoLink software isn't bad with basic OBDII scanning capabilities. The MPG App isn't bad either and would be good for those without full feature trip computers, but again its quite basic and not very pretty, yet it does get the job done I suppose.

In the package came an Ad for Dash Command. Looked it up on the App store and it looked the goods. Purchased it there and then within 2min of plugging the cable in.

Dash Command is quite highly featured. Very nice looking Dash displays and the ability to log data and tailor PID selection is pretty cool for an iPhone App. It also has the ability to use the iPhones sensors to log G etc for performance logging. Overall it aint cheap @ $60 but considering what it can do and what a scanner of equivalent capability would cost, its fairly competitive.
FYI It would be awesome on an iPad.

The fact that I now have a full functioning scanner on me at all times with only a small cable to carry with me on top of my phone to me represents great flexibility and I would recommend it to owners that don't have a scanner already or are interested in logging their cars data occasionally without the need to purchase an aeroforce gauge or equivalent scanner that may not be able to do as much anyway.

Sounds easier and perhaps even easier just to buy efilive scan tool to me.
Displays 8 pids at once on the scrollable screen out of hundreds.

What benefits does the phone have? Other than a graphical display? Any functional benefits?
Can it read, decode and reset all the GM fault codes for example?


for someone who hasnt got 6== quid to throw at efi live its an option i would dare say it can read decode and reset the gm codes yes although im only guessing i doubt the guys across the water would be buying it if it didnt and its not like u carry ur efi live around in ur pocket whereva u go. everyone carrys a phone true...im lucky to have efi live some arnt....as i said its an option and looks like a smart one

it seems to have scored a lot of awards at sema and just reading a little bit here seems to support gm codes no worries www.palmerperformance.com/support/supported_vehicles/generic_pids.php
