Show Google Maps: Shows Google Maps on the device's web browser instead of the
device's default maps (Apple or Bing maps). This setting requires GPS so if the 'Do Not Use
GPS' setting is checked then this setting will not be visible. Also, if Google Maps is already
installed then this will not be visible and Google Maps will be used.
Monitor Faults: Select this if you want the App to constantly be monitoring the adapter
for faults. This uses a lot of processing time as it is checking every second for faults. Use it
only if necessary, otherwise - it is more efficient to click on the Faults icon on the home
page and check it yourself from time to time. If however, you are trying to diagnose an
intermittent fault or some other problem, you will want to select this. Note, if you place the
Engine Status gauge on your dash, faults will be monitored while you have your custom
dash displayed.
Auto Email Faults: If you select this, the App will send an email to you whenever a fault
is detected, even intermittent ones.
Show Dash on Adapter Connection: This will open the View Dash page immediately
after starting the App.
Show Faults on Adapter Connection: This is primarily for mechanics. It will open the
Faults page immediately after starting the App.
Do Not Show Informational Faults: This will keep faults that do not cause the check
engine light (MIL) to come on from showing on the Faults page.
Ignore Vehicle Info: This will instruct the App not to request the vehicle's VIN, Make,
Model, and Serial number from the adapter. This will improve performance and is
recommended if you don't need it on your trip and logging reports. Note, that you can still
enter your VIN manually (see below).
Vehicle VIN: This allows you to enter your Vehicle's VIN instead of retrieving it from the
ECMs. You can enter either the Engine VIN or the Vehicle VIN depending on which one you
reference your vehicle with. This will improve performance since the VIN is not being
retrieved from the ECM. Note, this is only visible if Ignore Vehicle Info is checked.
Show Engine VIN: Select this if you want to show the Engine VIN instead of your Vehicle
VIN in your trip and logging reports. If both Show Engine VIN and Show Vehicle VIN are
not selected, Engine VIN will take precedence. Note this is only visible if Ignore Vehicle Info
is not checked.
Show Vehicle VIN: Select this if you want to show your Vehicle VIN instead of the Engine
VIN in your trip and logging reports. If both Show Engine VIN and Show Vehicle VIN are
not selected, Engine VIN will take precedence. Note this is only visible if Ignore Vehicle Info
is not checked.
Use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE): Select this to always connect to the adapter using
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This will not be shown for Apple devices as all Apple devices
