We're excited to be to here in the Cobalt SS community and to celebrate becoming a sponsor, we'd like to offer a special limited time (until Sept 10th) offer to you folks!

Use the coupon code "COBALTSS" when checking out and receive a discount for $15 off AND FREE SHIPPING when you order a Dashboss kit!

Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have here or email to support@dashboss.com. We've tested with some local Cobalt SS cars (especially the LNF ones) and we support all sorts of neat stuff for the LNF including reading the OEM WideBand AFR.

Remember, the offer is good only until September 10th! Thanks!

 

does it read iat1 and iat2?

 

LNF motor? Depends on the motor, but there's a list of all the supported parameters for a 2009 LNF that we tested with HERE

We're always adding more as we get a chance to debug with a car ...

 

I want to know the benefits of this vs obdlink products.

Also being that it's made for iOS is great. Nothing wrong with being exclusive as well as iOS is a great platform to develop for. Android support would be nice to see in the future but exclusivity always deserves a thumbs up.

 

Guys ... I'm pretty technology neutral, so if you want to debate which mobile OS is best for you, please start your own thread? We've made a choice to offer it to the iOS market first, and it's cool if it's not for you. We're offering this up for the community and we'd hoped to be a positive supporter.

As far as the LSJ, were the LSJ still J1850? It's hard to keep track of GM's shenanigans with the ECUs as they transitioned between platforms...

 

good luck with sales, I just dont see you making a lot here.

I say that because:

You offer to 1 platform here for the most part which is the LNF, there is still the LSJ, L61, LAP, LE5 that arent covered.

You offer your product on 1 operating system, iOS

The vehicle that you offer this for, already comes from the factory with a great device, RPD

Your price point is a lil high in comparison to HPT (which can be sourced used for about $100 more) and actual tuning can be done with the HPT.

 

Any chance you could post the LNF params here? Doesn't look like I can read the attachments on your site.

Looks like a promising products. Kudos.

 

Thank you for your opinion ... but we're here because we do a bunch of vehicles (not just GM ... ), I'm a long time GM fan, and I always thought the Cobalt SS was a neat platform.

So, again, if it's not for you, that's cool (move along, nothing to see here! )... but I thought I'd offer you guys something that isn't laptop based, mobile, offers the features of the DashHawk (plus MORE) at a price that's half the price of the original Dashhawk.

It's also very convenient for multiple vehicles (a lot of people have different marquees in the stable ). So, let's give it a chance, eh? Thanks!

 

Parameters for the LNF ... this is pretty close. These shots were taken as we were still debugging, so there may be some more now (and some slight differences) but it should give you a good idea.

I apologize for the marginal quality of the screenshots ... taken from the device in a McDonald's parking lot!

Also, had to post it on our site because the file is too big to post directly to the forum. Hope that isn't too big a PITA.

 

Looks like a nice alternative to an Interceptor or Dashhawk.

 

I've been chatting with Ken about this product and he has extended the group buy deal for us with the "COBALTSS" code to give us $24 off.

He is in Fort Collins, CO - if anyone is near by, they could meet with him and help determine which sensors we'll be able to obtain information from based on the other engines offered: LSJ, L61, LAP, LE5. He has proven that LNF's provide plenty of information.

Ken has confirmed the following engines (off Dashboss FAQ):

2005 General Motors Chevrolet Cobalt 2.4 Automatic Gas
2005 General Motors Chevy Cobalt 2.2 All Gas

2006 General Motors Chevrolet Cobalt 2.2 All Gas
2006 General Motors Chevrolet Cobalt 2.4 All Gas

From the research I came up with the LSJ's P12 PCM is primarily J1850 VPW (Class 2). EDIT:

I did look at my LSJ and found I have Pins 6 & 14 populated (As well as 1, 2, 4, 5, 16). I suspect it will work. Is anyone in Ft Collins, CO to test this?

I'm planning to purchase Dashboss to test it on my 2007 SS/SC LSJ. I'll be sure to provide feedback as to what sensors are available (IAT2 most concern).

 

Well - I purchased a Dashboss from Ken and tested it on my '07 SS/SC without success. The LSJ P12 PCM runs J1850 VPW OBD2 protocol, which is not compatable with Dashboss (Unfortunately). Ken was very kind to allow me to return the dashboss in the effort to determine this information. If I owned an LNF or newer car, I would choose dashboss over torque (even though I've gotten into some of the Torque application configs and discovered the IAT2 PID - 222006).

I hope this information helps anyone else looking to use Dashboss. Additional note - if you utilize torque, it tells you in the status bar what OBD2 comm protocol is connected - that will help if you recognize if you have a CANBUS PCM or not as well.

Thanks,
