MQBone reads live data, records your runs and programs supported engine and gearbox controllers over OBD. On iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Requires MQBadapter, our OBD-II adapter.
Live data
Every number, as you drive.
Gauges and graphs with running minimum and maximum. Mode 22 and HSL where the controller supports it.
Logging
Record a run. Read it back.
Start by hand or on a trigger. A lead-in keeps the seconds before it. Scrub the graph, read every value at the cursor and choose which PIDs to draw.
Diagnostics
Read and clear fault codes.
Engine and gearbox codes, controller information, scan history and adaptations. Free on every supported car.
Advanced Diagnostics
A full diagnostic tool, in your pocket.
Scan every module in the car, not just the engine and gearbox. Read and clear faults with plain-English descriptions, change coding and adaptations, run basic settings and output tests, and back up a module before you touch it.
Full-car scan
Every module the gateway reports, with part numbers and fault counts.
Coding
Coding and long coding, with named bits where the definition has them.
Adaptations
Read and change adaptation channels, with the original kept for undo.
Basic settings
Run basic settings, output tests and service functions.
Live values
Measurement values from any module, read as you watch.
Backup and restore
Save a module's coding and adaptations before you change them.
Readiness
OBD readiness and gateway installation list.
Scan history
Every scan saved on your device, ready to compare or share.
Advanced Diagnostics subscription
US$50 a year on our website, or US$60 a year in the app. Cancel any time.
Flashing
Program over OBD.
