• Mobile device

Compatible with iOS™ and Android™ mobile devices.

It is recommended to use a high-performance device for the best app experience.

The use of 3.5 mm jack audio output instead of Bluetooth (A2DP) is recommended for use with the app, as the sound will be played in real-time and have superior audio quality.

IMPORTANT:• Devices with Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ chipsets (especially the Snapdragon™ 8 Series Mobile Platform), bring a better experience due to its multi-core CPUs with a state-of-the-art processing capacity and superior connectivity.

• OBD-II adapter

The app requires an OBD-II adapter with the ELM327 integrated circuit (chip).

However, there are some adapters with different chips that are compatible with the same commands requested by a genuine ELM327.

Higher quality devices offer faster communication and provide stable connectivity.

iOS

> Recommended system requirements

Chip | ELM327
Connectivity | Wi-Fi

> Minimum system requirements

Chip | PIC18F25K80
Connectivity | Wi-Fi

Android

> Recommended system requirements

Chip | ELM327 (or STN1100)
Connectivity | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or USB

> Minimum system requirements

Chip | PIC18F25K80
Connectivity | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or USB

IMPORTANT:• Beware of OBD-II adapters made in China. These devices have chips that are clone versions of the ELM327. They are reported as ELM 1.5 or ELM 2.1 versions, but they are actually fake and of poor build quality, and are often faulty devices. In many situations, data delivery to the app is delayed or corrupted, compromising the user experience.

• Vehicle

• OBD-II protocol

The app supports all OBD-II protocols¹:

• SAE J1850 PWM (41.6 kbaud)

• SAE J1850 PWM (10.4 kbaud)

• ISO 9141-2 (5 baud init, 10.4 kbaud)

• ISO 14230-4 KWP (5 baud init, 10.4 kbaud)

• ISO 14230-4 KWP (fast init, 10.4 kbaud)

• ISO 15765-4 CAN (11 bit ID, 500 kbaud)

• ISO 15765-4 CAN (29 bit ID, 500 kbaud)

• ISO 15765-4 CAN (11 bit ID, 250 kbaud)

• ISO 15765-4 CAN (29 bit ID, 250 kbaud)

• SAE J1939 CAN (29 bit ID, 250 kbaud)

There are differences in protocols regarding communication speed and stability of connectivity.

In particular, the ISO 15765-4 CAN, which is the latest protocol and currently implemented by all car manufacturers. The app takes full advantage of it with the help of a high-quality OBD-II adapter.

> Recommended system requirements

Protocol | ISO 15765-4 CAN (11 bit ID, 500 kbaud)
Speed | up to 140 parameters/second²
Communication loss | none - low³

> Minimum system requirements

Protocol | ISO 14230-4 KWP (fast init, 10.4 kbaud)
Speed | up to 7 parameters/second²
Communication loss | none - medium³

> Insufficient system requirements

Protocol | ISO 9141-2 (5 baud init, 10.4 kbaud)
Speed | up to 4 parameters/second²
Communication loss | medium - high³

• Engine type

The app requires vehicles with Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).¹

¹ Not compatible with Electric Vehicles (EV). May work on Hybrid Vehicles (HV) while using Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).

• Sound system

The sound system includes the audio receiver, amplifier and speakers that together will play the audio.

• Audio connection

The AUX cable (also known as 3.5 mm jack) is the only way to play audio in real-time and with superior audio quality.

In comparison, Bluetooth (A2DP) is a technology that uses audio codecs that need processing time, which adds sound delay. Furthermore, codecs apply compression to the audio signal, resulting in poor audio quality.

Using CarPlay the sound delay is minimum, and it offers superior audio quality.

With Android Auto the sound delay is present, but it offers superior audio quality.

> Recommended system requirements

Connection | AUX cable¹ or CarPlay²
- Delay | 0 ms¹ to 150 ms²
Audio quality | high

> Minimum system requirements

Connection | Bluetooth (A2DP)¹ or Android Auto²
Delay | 500 ms to 2 seconds
Audio quality | low - medium¹ | high²

• Amplifier and speakers

The app simulates the sounds heard inside a supercar. Sounds are recorded inside real vehicles to reproduce the same environment.

In fact, the sounds are due to the movement of mechanical parts that generate vibrations in the particles of the structure of the vehicle. The best recording techniques are used to capture these vibrations (sounds) inside the vehicle.

These sounds are low frequencies (commonly referred to as bass).

In order to recreate a similar environment, it is necessary that the sound system be able to reproduce such low frequencies with the desired sound intensity.
