No, there are no updates. We're working on it, but you'll have to be patient. I promise you I will not keep it a secret when it's ready. :D

Can we get a pre-sales group buy discount going? ;) There has got to be a dozen smart phone owners dying to get in on the latest/greates Ross Tech product :)

BUYBACK : Golf Sportwagen TDi 2010
Did a lot of search on the forum and this thread seems the good place!

I have an iphone, and I'm also looking for an app (Rev or something else) and a OBD hardware and don't know what to buy (kiwi, ElmcanII, OBDkey, others?).

I have for a limited time a scangauge II (not mine) and I use the real-time MPG. Not able to say if it's very accurate though (is it?), but this feature is important for me because I don't have this option on my car. Seems that Rev is not accurate regarding MPG (is this still true?).

Wanted to buy a scangauge II at first but would prefer to have something for iphone if something is almost as good.

When Ross Tech develops their iPhone solution, it will be so far beyond any SGII device or other iPhone solution it will be comical.

Is this really serious that Ross Tech will develop a software for iphone or other mobile? I'll wait for this app then! Does a wifi/bluetooth connection is planned?

Read above. They seemed pretty serious about it. Who knows how the exact implementation would look like on your iOS/Droid device and who knows WHEN it will be released. May take some time, but if it allows you to have some graphs of your values of choosing to run in real time AND the capability to do everything else VCDS does with laptops, then it will be amazing for sure. :)

I'm absolutely willing to be a beta tester as well. Put me on the list the moment a list is made. :) This is what I've been waiting for. It'll also give me an excuse to get an iPod Touch OR iPhone.

Looking for an update Uwe. 2.5 months later. I am really wanting a iphone/VCDSsolution but no one will provide VW specific codes like EGT that VCDS does.

So I'm a buyer waiting...

Any news update on this front? My 3GS is crying for some OBDII data.

Because we want to make it completely platform independent so it will work on iPhone, Android, or whatever the next hot mobile device might be, it's will not be app per se. It's also still quite a ways from being a shipping product, but we are working on it:
