So I plan to jump on this train shortly, waiting for a check to arrive so I can get a Quadzilla Adrenaline with the wifi option.  I plan to use my current iphone 6, I was curious if I will need to have the app on all the time with gauges displayed for it to work or only if I want to see the extra gauges?  I may convince the wife to upgrade to a new iphone and I will use her 6S+ as a dedicated gauge display in my truck. I'm very computer illiterate, but after reading the info on the Quad multiple times, it's been making more sense. 

 

Another question, obviously I will be able to sell my comp and I don't imagine I will need my scangauge anymore either if I get a dedicated display.  Will the Quad allow me to change tire size in the computer or should I hang on to my smarty for that?

I highly recommend getting hte bluetooth not the wifi.  Andriod devices are SOOOO much cheaper when the time comes to replace it.

 

you don;t have to run gauges to run.  The tune apply process requires the device.

 

The quad cannot update ecm and abs items like tire size.  

So the smarty will stay in the closet then.  I have a bad habit of changing tire size every time I get a new set.

 

I'm scouting CL now looking for a cheap used android phone, but my wife loves her iphones so much I doubt I would be without one.  She just got her's replaced with insurance but is still drooling over the new iphone 10. 

 

walmart has 7" andriod tablets for less than $50

Wow, that's cool, maybe if I didn't hate that place so much I would look around more, lol.  It doesn't matter what kind of tablet, as long as it's got the android operating system?

I second the bluetooth version.  I have an iPhone and the wifi module wasn't that great at connecting.  The bluetooth is fantastic.  

Also, I believe the Smarty tire correction factor won't work unless a Smarty tune is loaded (right guys?) 

Yea the smarty ‘locks’ itself to the vin even after changing tire size. No tune needs to be loaded though.

You might take a peek at my two posts...

 

That bracket is nice, followed your link and found one to hold a tablet as.  I found a 7" voyager pro tablet with 2 year anything goes warranty for $60.  Hopefully I can get this stuff ordered in the next week. 

 

I've been running the smarty on stock after my last keyboard lashing, haven't verified my speed yet, but I'm not passing anyone so I figured it was still good.  I'll just keep it in the closet and use it when I make that next trip to the tire store.

Well if you hook up with me I could program your Speedometer permanently without the Smarty locked VIN problem. I've got a CCD Network tool that allows for ABS speed adjustments. You might want to give me a call I'll be more than willing to do this for ya.

Man do I sometimes wish I leaved in your neighborhood, I'd be over there restocking your fridge with beer on regular basis lol. But that's probably why you leave where you do, you like you're space. Can't blame you for that.

Well I'm in Ontario, OR on a regular basis so you could hook up with me.

 

(208) 315-1470 cell 

 

You can catch me in Ontario every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

Yeah still a bit far just to go have a beer, lol. But appreciate the offer. 

I could make more money selling the smarty instead of the scan gauge, would like to keep one for pulling codes as well. 

Either one will read codes for you.  You'll probably make more selling the smarty on one of the facebook groups than the SC2.  

I'll get it sorted out when everything gets here.  I just ordered the tablet and the gooseneck holder, should be here Monday.  I still have to wait for a check to arrive before I can get the Quad though. 

I could get you a Quadzilla through the site. I've just become a vendor for Quadzilla products. I'm going to try and get things setup soon for the store. But I can still sell you a Quadzilla.

Do I get a 50% discount for being a forum member, lol.  That would be cool, aboot $675 like every where else I presume?

I have my goose neck and my tablet now, just need a quadzilla to complete the package.

PM sent to you...

My Quadzilla arrived today(Thanks Mike), not sure I'll have time to install it this week, but surely by next weekend I should have it in.
