I justifiedВ the cost because IвЂ™m simply turning over the profit from selling BRZ parts into upgrades for my WRX, not investing additional project car money into it (thatвЂ™s being saved for the Smyth Ute). It cost me more than an entire 2003 VW Jetta. Finally,В professional tuners can use the Accessport to give your car a custom tune, optimized for your particular car and combination of modifications.ДЄt $650 itвЂ™s far from cheap.

You can customize features like a shift light, launch control, and flat-foot shifting, run performance tests, diagnose and clear OBD2 trouble codes, and configure up to six different gauges to monitor engine parameters in real time, as well as log them. For example, a Stage 1 tune works with an otherwise stock car, while a Stage 2 tune for my WRX requires an aftermarket J-pipe, a popular and effective power adding mod. It comes pre-loaded with a number of off-the-shelf tunes for various conditions or stages of tune. The COBB Accessport is a small smartphone sized device that plugs into the OBD2 port of your WRX (or Forester XT, or various Fords, Volkswagens, Porsches, BMWs, Mazdas, Mitsubishis, and the Nissan GT-R). OK, I should at least give a little bit of background information in case youвЂ™ve been living under a rock. So IвЂ™m going to gloss overВ the usual babble about what it is,В what it does, and how it works, and focus on a slightly different subject вЂ“ how useful is the AccessportВ for daily driving, as opposed to racing or squeezing as much power as possible out of the FA20 engine? The Usual Babble Even Right Foot DownВ reviewed it once before when Josh got one for his briefly owned WRX. Everybody and their mother has already reviewed it. You will probably spend more time playing with the settings in Race Render than recording as there is lots to customize.If you have a Subaru WRX, chances are you also have a COBB Accessport.

Once done stop recording and take the files off both devices and use the Race Render software to combine them. Setting up is as simple as connecting the ODB2 and Gopro up to your phone respectively, verifying the Track Addict app seeвЂ™s both then hitting the record button. You could just use your phones camera to record video and use Wifi ODB2 for iOS. Some of the iOS compatible devices are only compatible with Track Addict over Wifi, so research carefully. Gopro uses Wifi so I had to use ODB2 over Bluetooth.

One more thing to remember is you can only connect to one Wifi device and one Bluetooth device at any point of time.

So instead of paying for the app on iOS and also spending more on a ODB2 adapter just buy a cheap pre-paid Android phone dedicated just for this purpose and a cheap ODB2 adapter. The android app has just about everything for free.

The free iOS app also is more limited than the android and has a paid pro version to get most of the features. As you will see the ODB2 adapters for iOS are expensive. Here is a link to their site listing ODB2 devices that are compatible and known to work. Track Addict app + Race Render software.Here is one of HP Tuners the maker of Track Addicts example videos of what this all can do: Biggest gripe for normal usage is their logo that you can not remove, but can move around. The free version of Race Render works great and gives you a fantastic idea of what its capable of and would work just fine for most use cases. Where they make their money on Race Render which is the software that takes your video, data and combines them together letting you customize the layout. With these data points overlaid onto the video you now have a great perspective of whats going on. Normal video shot from a moving vehicle can sometimes be disappointing slow compared to how you perceived it when driving. The end result is a video that has real time features like maps, RPM, MPH, throttle and so much more overlaid on the video. It records video either by your phone or via WIFI with GoPro, it can connect to your cars data via ODB2, and uses your phones GPS to map the ride. Its commonly used for track purposes but can also be used for those spirited mountain road drives. Track Addict is an app for both iOS and Android that records video and data from your drive.
