Automatic - IOS device for cars?

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to know if anyone has heard of the Automatic IOs and Android device for car engine decode and information?

The check engine light — that enigmatic indicator that can signal anything from a loose gas cap or old spark plugs, to a worn out catalytic converter or an empty windshield fluid reservoir — is hardly an effective way of remaining in-tune with your car. But with Automatic you can finally decode that uninformative light, letting you know what kind of help your car needs and potentially saving a trip to the mechanic. And that's not all it does: helping improve your car's fuel economy, alerting emergency response in case of a crash, and automatically remembering where you parked are just a few incredibly-useful features. Add in that its beautifully-designed iOS and Android apps are constantly updated with new functionality, and you get the partner your car always needed.

See here for full details

Would be interested to plug into the car and see how it faired.....

I'm using the once called "Dash" & after some initial teething troubles it seems quite effective & accurate. Takes a little while to learn your car & driving habits.

Tried it, it was crap. Rarely accurate and the fault code reading and diagnosis it provides ranges from laughable to dangerous.

Your link is broken btw. If you get enough traffic to your site, will they send you a free one?

Why was it so bad? according to the site and reviews it works well, Is it due to only being a Stateside product so would it need to be set up different. BTW its an information site and not run for freebies, If that was the case I want the speedboats and Lexus jeep...lol

Are you using it on Android or iPhone? Thinking about getting the iPhone version but I need a wifi ELM for it.

Just read about it on CNET, never knew such a device existed.

If it does work well and is compatible with my car in android format then I would consider getting one.
