Default Iphone guage app?

So I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of an iPhone app that would say display AFR's, Oil, boost even? I can't see it impossible if you were to construct an iphone mount in say the center console i.e.:


(I remember see'ing a nice one somewhere but this gets the point across).

I know there are apps that can monitor rpm's and such. It would seem easy enough with say a wifi dongle in the ecu port, or bluetooth, or could even just stealth route a cable. Anyone know of anything similar?

Google "iphone obd2" and you'll see info on some iPhone apps that read OBD2 info.

Thanks. I found:

Looks exactly what I was looking for, and has gotten great reviews from multiple sources. Thanks for the iPhone OB2 Idea, I kept trying to search for iphone guages and whatnot and came up with nothing. Good call!

In theory there would just need to be a new piece of software released for different phones, as the only hardware is a wifi or bluetooth adapter that plugs into the OBD port. In my opinion it's dreadfully overpriced for what it accomplishes.

But it's still SUPER freaking cool

The interest to me was the ability to view necessary data if needed, without the gaudy gauges (my opinion). I'm looking to make my s2k a really fun daily driver, and occassional autox / light fun/not serious track car. So having guages everywhere seems excessive. But with having my car tuned I'd like to be able to see it live if something felt wrong.

good question. I remember when there was an OBD application for Palm Pilots and Game Boy Advances. Those things are dead.
