I have an old one I put in but it doesn't give me boost readings. The app is pretty nice to get easy readings on most generic outputs, and trouble codes.

I use a Vaio VPC-X115KX to connect and get all the data. Very light small format laptop, easy to take anywhere.

I don't believe you can read boost through the OBDII port on VAG cars.

I had to buy and install a separate plx devices boost sensor module and wire it serially to a kiwi wifi dongle to read boost with the Rev app for iPhone.

nene, are you referring to using VCDS on the vaio? If so, that's a different thing, tapping the ECU vs. reading output from the OBDII port.

Ah thanks for info Skribe. Maybe I will just go and put the gauge in as I originally intended..
