App Settings

Below is information and suggestions for setting up the App for your particular use from the

Settings page.

 Metric: Select this to show data in metric, otherwise it will be shown in standard US

measurements.

 Auto Connect: This will cause the App to automatically attempt to connect to the adapter

when you start the App. Combined with the Customize Dash 'Show your Dash on Startup'

option, you can have your dash connected and displayed every time you start the App. It is

recommended though that you only select this after you have finished designing your dash

and your mobile device is permanently mounted in your vehicle. If Auto Connect is selected

and you're not in range of the adapter, the App will continue to retry the connection until it

times out or you cancel it which could be an annoyance.

 App Brightness: Select this if you want the App to be displayed at maximum brightness.

 Do No Show EULA: Select this if you do not wish to see the End User License Agreement

(EULA) every time the App starts up. This will already be checked if you indicated so when

the App started and shown the EULA the first time.

 Do Not Lock Screen: Select this if you do not want your device to go into screen lock

while the App is opened. Note, this may not work on all devices.

 Do Not Show Demo (Default) Data: Select this to only show data that comes from your

vehicle ECMs after connecting to the adapter. This will prevent the demo data from

appearing which might be confusing. Showing demo data can be handy when designing

your dash as the data will give you a good idea on the correct size of the gauges. Note that

if you have a trip started or you have connected/disconnected from the adapter, showing

demo data will be disabled. Note, on Apple devices the word 'Demo' is shown as 'Default'.

 Do Not Show Logo: This will remove the BlueFire logo from the Home page. It can be

useful if you are running the App on a very small device or in landscape mode.

 Do Not Use GPS: Choose this setting if your mobile device does not have GPS or if you do

not want the App to use GPS. GPS is used to determine your location for trips, logging, etc.

and for the Direction and Elevation gauges. If the App cannot connect to your GPS when it

starts it will automatically turn this setting on. You can retry connecting to your GPS by

turning this setting off.

 Lock App Orientation: Locks the App to the current orientation of your device or the

orientation that the App starts with. All pages with the exception of your custom dash will

be shown in this orientation. You custom dash has a separate 'Lock Dash Orientation'

option that overrides this setting.
