Kiwi 3

[tony1461571]

Hey all just got my new Kiwi 3. Anybody else have this one would like your thoughts on it. And what apps does everyone recommend. I have iPhone 6 plus. I've never had one of these before so all input will be appreciated.

Throw up some screen shots. What utilities can it do? Only read codes?

If it's anything close to KiwiII, it will be great, but I need the adapter that's plug into the KiwiII so I can see my modules. The only advantage I have is the KiwiII is now cheaper, but $1000.00 in modules would be worthless with the KiwiIII.

$1000 in modules? For what exactly?

 

[RVTRKN]

It's not just the modules which average at $150 a piece, but the Lockpick system that allows me to input video to the NAV and the Kiwi Wifi with the Dashcommand app and all the hardware and wiring involved. It's @ 1000.00 +/- a few dollars. I'll have it at May Madness if anyone wants to see how I put it together. Not to mention an additional amount, close to a $1000.00 with the transmission cooling system I developed.

I see, it's being able to get into the 8.4 as well. I'm just thinking about diagnostics, which in that case, I think PC based Autoenginuity is real good.

I asked PLX about the new KiwiIII, why didn't they make it so you could attach the iMFD connector to the new KiwiIII? They said the new KiwiIII can see a lot more info, and that the manufactures added more data you could pull from the OBDII making the modules almost not necessary. But I need the iMFD to see temps, pressures, and boost with the 07 ECM.

I like the Dashcommand app. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dashcommand-obd-ii-gauge-dashboards/id321293183?mt=8

With iPhone 4, the charging plug can also be used for analog output. I bought a cable from Apple that has a USB plug (for charging) and the three audio/video RCA plugs, (White,red,yellow) connected to the big charging plug for the iPhone 4. The new lighting plug for the iphone 5 can not output analog signal, so I have to use my iPhone 4. I bought the Lockpick so I could input audio to my REC NAV radio. It's hard to believe Dodge didn't think to have an aux jack for the REC radio. But the Lockpick also has video input using the RCA plug in the rear of the REC radio. The early Uconnect in dodge radios couldn't be used like Bluetooth to hear your music. When I was displaying Dashcommand on my iPhone, I wondered if I could hear my music and still display the Dashcommand, so I plugged in the iPhone 4, when it automatically switched from phone to my NAV screen via the video output option the Dashcommand has. So that's how it all started. With Kiwi wifi II (not an option on the Kiwi III) you can plug a iMFD adaptor to the Kiwi II that allows the sensing modules to be converted to Bluetooth and using the iPhone 4 analog output to my REC NAV screen, it displays my modules using the Heavy Hauler dashboard.

It's a little complicated, if want to talk over the phone, send me a PM with your number and I'll call you.
