Iphone's Dynolicious App: Any experience with it?
Hello: Does anyone have experience with the Dynolicious application for the Iphone? Just wanted to see if it was a bargain or just a toy? $12.99
Website link: http://dynolicious.com/ Introducing: Dynolicious Dynolicious is the first automotive performance meter available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Dynolicious uses the hardware built-in to your iPhone to measure the performance characteristics of your vehicle. No external wires or equipment is necessary, simply slip the iPhone into a cradle or cupholder and go! Some of the performance metrics Dynolicious can measure: * 0-60 Acceleration * 1/4 Mile Elapsed Time * Lateral G's * Horsepower Unlike other accelerometer-based performance meters, Dynolicious uses the advanced data-handling and display capabilities of the iPhone to make the most of your performance testing. Dynolicious maintains a history of test runs, showing you averages and trends in your results. Dynolicious also allows you to enter modifications performed to your vehicle, and will instantly show before-and-after results to easily identify gains or losses |
Yeah it's all over the forums. It's pretty bad ***, not the most accurate thing on the planet, but so far has proven itself to be far superior to the G-Force device that's been sold for years. The iPhone has some pretty bad *** sensors.
I'd personally suggest having a friend use it while you drive though :eek: |
Interesting. I have the G35 Iphone mount in my car, so that should do the trick (or throw it off?)
|
There are two other similar applications for a fraction of the cost for the Iphone, but those two have bad reviews.

Someone on the boards was going to take one to the track and then to a dyno to test it for real... can't remember who right now.
Search "iphone AND dyno" in Boolean mode and you should find the thread. |
if it doesn't move in the car, it is pretty accurate. There is a video of it being tested at a actuall 1/4 mile track on a Mini Cooper and it was 0.01 seconds off of the actual track 1/4 mile time.
