Looks like there may be a fault somewhere, mine shows 0 RPM in the engine module whilst running but shows fine when in the AT module.

Just a thought, There is a possibility there may be a slight leak around the manifolds or even where the cat section joins the single outlet custom exhaust, Would these possibly be causing those fuel trim / O2 sensor error codes ?

I think this app is still very much work in progress, and has lots of flaws still.

Accept that its currently barely functional, but hopefully with the potential to be better in the future, and you won't be disappointed :)

Additionally, some of the poorer (ie, the cheap Chinese tat clones) implementations of the hardware are also a bit flakey (and that's being kind!).

I have noticed that mine seems to read zero RPM from the engine ECU but the correct RPM from the gearbox ECU  ???

There was rapid development a few months ago but I haven't seen any progress that benefits the Omega recently :-\

Thought I'd try it on the tablet.

I cleared these codes to see which came back.. No idea why some are red, orange, green..  :-\



These are after clearing few days later...



Along with live data (at idle)





I haven't a clue what any (well most of) that livedata means..

I wish i knew how to read/understand this live data, From the live date in the screen snap pictures above does everything seem OK?.. I just wan't to put my mind at rest.. Car is running fine, Power is there when needed, Idles fine, Starts first time.. Don't use it every day so it does stand for a few day up to a week sometimes... But when I do use it its usually for 100+ miles..

I suspect that a number of the items that are either on/off 0/1 active/inactive are reading the wrong way round. Variables (numbers) seem to be more reliable (ignoring engine RPM ::))

I don't imagine that either of your engine warning lights are lit but there is a line reading "Malfunction indicator" "on".

I have noticed that the "sport button" is normally "active" on mine but "inactive" when I press it ???

The developer does ask for people to send him logs if they notice a problem so he can improve the software. I haven't (yet) because I haven't worked out how to do it  :-[

There are 3 bulbs (EML, Main Beam, Right Side Background Illumination) that i'm aware of that are fused/missing, Trying to find time to take the dash out to do this..there's also a rattling sound behind there which does sound like a small glass type bulb that's causing this only now and then on a rough surface road...

With two flat bladed instruments (not too sharp) (to pop the centre air vents out) and a Philips screwdriver you can have the instrument cluster out in about 5 minutes.

Why don't you put the bulb back in, and have a clear car?
