I've had no issue logging with my OBDEleven and Galaxy. My how-to:
I've also logged with Torque Pro app and a $10 Amazon Bluetooth dongle. The key with these other apps is being able to retrieve the raw data as a .csv and doing some work in Excel to clean it up then uploading to datazap. Also understanding what channel are important - so much of the info is not necessary.Thanks for the suggestions, folks. I'm going to try some additional iOS apps before I get a new dongle and try the Android route.
Pulled some logs last night via Auto Doctor. Decently usable, but not great resolution. That's what frustrates me about the Car Scanner app -- it has basically every single sensor, VW coding, and a great data capture rate, but trying to view the logs outside of the app is just impossible. Going to try the OBD 2 app and OBD Fusion next.
Yeah, I can get the Car Scanner logs to work if I don't log too many sensors. I can easily shift a few rows and delete empty rows. But if I log too much stuff, it's impossible to clean up.I've also logged with Torque Pro app and a $10 Amazon Bluetooth dongle.

Who did you decide to go with for tuning?LMAO tried an OBD11 today. Literally zero datalogging on iOS, and datalogs on Android were worse resolution than the other iPhone apps I tried. What a joke. I guess the Simos thing is the only reasonable route to take.
It's good enough to get a look for me but pretty coarse.LMAO tried an OBD11 today. Literally zero datalogging on iOS, and datalogs on Android were worse resolution than the other iPhone apps I tried. What a joke. I guess the Simos thing is the only reasonable route to take.
For a few parameters, it's fine, as are most iOS apps. But as soon as you start looking at a bunch of parameters (boost, RPM, throttle, IAT, timing, kr1, kr2, kr3, kr4) the resolution knocks way down. Oh well.It's good enough to get a look for me but pretty coarse.
I wasn't deciding. It's always been APR. I had the tune taken off briefly for some troubleshooting but I'm putting it back on eventually. Just trying to do some logging on the stock tune when I get intermittent power reduction. Haven't been able to "catch it" with the right parameters being logged.Who did you decide to go with for tuning?
I take it that the Torque Pro app for Android or iPhone didn't work? Would you reconsider Cobb? You definitely can log with Cobb.For a few parameters, it's fine, as are most iOS apps.

iPhone app didn't work well, no. I haven't tried it for Android yet as I need a bluetooth adapter for Android (I have a wifi adapter). I would definitely not spend $600 on an AP just for logging.I take it that the Torque Pro app for Android or iPhone didn't work? Would you reconsider Cobb? You definitely can log with Cobb.
Yeah I wouldn't buy an AP just for logging. You can get a $15 Bluetooth dongle from Amazon and use it with the Torque Pro app on Android.iPhone app didn't work well, no.

That seems to be my best next step. There's actually a specific dongle that's more like $65 but it has an incredible data resolution and bandwidth, so I might go that route. Or just ignore the problem forever until something breaks and CPO that bish?Yeah I wouldn't buy an AP just for logging.
