Maximize your driving data analysis with the Apex Pro Obd2 module. When connected to the Apex Pro app during your drive, this module diligently logs crucial vehicle information in the background, saving it for your later review, much like the dedicated APEX Pro hardware. To ensure you capture all the data points you need, remember to customize your dashboard and confirm the active channels before each session.
This versatile OBD2 module isn’t just for data logging; it also empowers lap timing, both in conjunction with and independently of the APEX Pro hardware. For standalone lap timing, simply navigate to your User Profile within the app and activate “Enable phone GPS logging.” This feature leverages your phone’s GPS to track speed and calculate lap times. However, it’s worth noting that the 1HZ GPS found in standard iOS phones may not match the precision of the unit within the APEX Pro module, potentially leading to variations in lap time and speed data accuracy.
Customize your data display to your preference by rearranging the gauges on your dashboard. A simple long-press on any gauge allows you to drag and reposition it according to your needs. Keep in mind that some data channels might not be accessible from your vehicle’s ECU. In such cases, the dashboard will clearly indicate any channel unavailability.
For an expanded view, the dashboard seamlessly transitions to landscape mode. This landscape orientation enlarges the gauges, displaying two prominently at a time. For optimal landscape viewing, it’s recommended to prioritize the two gauges you wish to monitor most closely by positioning them at the top of your gauge list before switching to landscape mode.
Lastly, if you’re considering using the Apex Pro OBD2 device, be aware that iPod Touch is not recommended unless you already possess APEX Pro hardware. The iPod Touch lacks cellular internet connectivity, which is essential for vehicle make and model verification. Furthermore, its absence of GPS capability prevents standalone lap timing functionality when paired solely with an OBD2 device.
