The new DashBoss™ is a very compact WIRELESS intelligent combination of technology and portability capable of turning any iPhone®, iPad® or Touch into a complete data-logging gauge package for your car or truck. DashBoss™ consists of a small Bluetooth "gateway" module and an Apple® iPhone® "App" (application) downloaded from the Apple® iTunes® App Store. The gateway plugs into the diagnostic port under the dash. Installation takes seconds and requires no tools!
DashBoss will work on any CAN-based vehicle which means it will work on any car or truck made after 2007 and most vehicles made after 2005. Please check out the Supported Vehicles page for details on pre-2008 vehicles..
- Calculate precise 0 to 60 and ÂĽ mile times
- Calculate weather-corrected performance numbers
- Display hundreds of vehicle parameters in user configurable gauges
- Data log any parameter
- Set automatic alerts
- Diagnose trouble codes and clear check engine lights
- Optimize driving for maximum fuel economy
- USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER BLUETOOTH DEVICES (Such as OnStar, handsfree calling, over the air music syncing, etc.) Dashboss plays "nice" with all other Bluetooth certified devices!
DashBoss™ uses custom firmware and hardware (not off-the-shelf compromises like others). Everything from the board layout to the firmware code to the iPhone® code was developed in-house with performance in mind and optimized for Apple products. The result is a seamlessly integrated product that is capable of providing true real time performance data about your vehicle.
This amazing intelligent system will provide you with information about your vehicle's operation, diagnostic trouble codes, vehicle performance, and other useful information. User programmable alerts keep a watchful eye on critical items and gauges are totally user configurable.Â
No more trips to the dealer to reset that pesky light!
Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs) and RESET THEM!
With a simple touch of the screen on your iPhone® or iPod touch®, retrieve the DTC code and its description to help you diagnose and FIX the problem yourself!
Once you have the cause fixed, reset the light with another touch of the screen.
Use the STEP BY STEP "wizard" to do General Motors bi-directional diagnostics procedures such as Crank Angle Sensor (CASE) Relearns when swapping ECU modules.

Real Time Dashboard and One Touch DataLogging!
Intuitive Dashboard displays allow you to monitor things at a glance!
See the tutorials and gallery links below to get a good sense of the stunning graphics and displays available for real-time use.
Dashboard and Logging features include:
Easy to read ANALOG style gauges
Customizable gauges can be set to any parameter, in any combination, for any vehicle with a few simple touches of the screen. Analog needle sweeps and high contrast faces make it easy to read parameters and determine operating limits at a GLANCE!
DIGITAL style numeric readouts
Analog gauges also include a DIGITAL readout for the ultimate in precise readings.
Record what you see with a touch of the screen
Simply touch the RECORD button on the dashboard screen at any time to start and stop data logging sessions.
Multiple dashboards at the flick of the finger
You aren't limited to just one tiny gauge screen! Flick side to side and you'll see MORE view chioces with configurable gauges and readouts, much like turning your head when looking at your car dashboard. It's very natural, error free and quick to see other parameters quickly.
Other Features
... and it doesn't stop there! Other features include:
- Share your results with others via email and Facebook
- Real-time weather
- User configurable ALERTS to warn you of things BEFORE they become a problem

Performance Testing and Measurement
Acceleration Tests
Measure your vehicle's acceleration CORRECTED FOR ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS!
Precise Timing and Measurement
The DashBoss™ uses a combination of precise sub-millisecond timers, timestamps, GPS position (if available) and OBDII data to measure distances and times to the foot!
GPS location (on iPhone® 3GS/4)
Corrected performance based on atmospheric conditions using our Patent Pending AccuPerformance feature
DashBoss™ uses our PATENT PENDING AccuPerformance system to acquire vehicle data, weather data, and performance data and integrate them all to provide accurate results. As long as you have 3G/Edge/Wifi coverage, DashBoss™ will give you up to the minute atmospheric conditions and use them to calculate air density, density altitude and performance corrections in real time!
Performance Tests
Measure your ride, just like the magazines!
Compare results of various modifications
DashBoss™ provides you with a battery of tests that you can use to measure the effects of traction, suspension, weather conditions, and modifications. See exactly HOW effective your combination is! Did that "mod" really work like advertised?
A Virtual Test Track ... at your finger tips!
How well does the vehicle launch with different tires? What RPM should I leave at for best E.T.? What RPM should I shift at? Did that new flux capacitor that I bought from Dr. Brown MotorSports really live up the hype?
Answer those questions and more with performance results and vehicle data at your fingertips!
- Acceleration Tests
- 0-60 MPH
- 0-100 MPH
- 1/8th Mile
- 1/4 Mile
- Braking Tests
- 60-0 MPH Braking
- 100-0 KPH Braking
Capture Data Like a Pro! Interface with add-on devices!
Capture data "on the fly", save and Play Back! Add up to TWO additional analog (0 - 5 volt) Inputs!
DashBoss™ provides you with data logging capabilities that allow you to capture valuable data from your vehicle.
Data Knowledge Efficiency POWER
Not only can you capture data from the OBDII port BUT you can also enhance your knowledge by attaching up to TWO external sensors!
DashBoss™ provides two input channels that allow you to use any of the common 0-5v sensors as additional real-time data sources. This is incredibly useful when a wideband O2 controller is attached to provide precise Air/Fuel data when tuning or monitoring, for example.
Most wideband O2 controllers provide the 0-5 volt compatible signal and DashBoss™ allows you to tweak the response curve to match the various manufacturer's specifications so your data is always SPOT ON! With analysis of your data you can "zero in" on the "sweet spot" for performance and economy. Remember: Data leads to Knowledge and with it you can gain Efficiency and Power!
