Monitoring boost with DashCMD app?

Hey guys, are any of you using the DashCMD app to monitor your boost? if so, which PID are you reading and how do you have it set up?

Sorry, can't help you there. I use the Torque Pro app and the PID is Turbo boost & vacuum gauge.

Which OBD2 Bluetooth adapter do you use with the app? Interested in picking one up but must ship to Canada.

I use BAFX Products brand ELM327 OBD2 BT Adapter. It is a bit more expensive than the other ones but this is guaranteed to work. I didn't want to bother with buying a cheap one, risk it not working, and then buying another one again, etc. Search on Amazon, they sell it there and that is where I bought mine.

i just have a generic wifi OBD adapter. make sure you get a wifi one and not a bluetooth one, if you have an iPhone. Bluetooth ones don't work that well with iPhones
