Datalogging Options for Mac Users

I'd really love to be able to datalog via OBDII. The obvious answers would be Dudelogger, CANScan, etc, but these requires a PC running windows - I've only owned Mac for quite some time now.

Another option would be Cobb AP, which currently go for ~$500+ IIRC. I'd rather not dish out that sort of dough when I don't plan to reflash any time soon.

I would LOVE to be able to run the PLX Kiwi Wifi with my iPhone. Devtoaster's Rev app now lets you datalog directly to your iphone/pod/pad but I don't believe it will allow for AFR logging/reading! This would also offer a cheap CEL reader/clear device/gauges/etc, should I need.

Last I recall, ScanGauge Xgauge doesn't allow for logging, though I know you can now read AFR's.

So, are there any products on the market that will let me log pertinent data, including AFR's, compatible with a Mac?

Heh, I got into mac when I became interested in video production. Rather than go the Avid route, I chose Final Cut Pro. I'm hoping there must be some option out there, considering Cobb (relatively) recently started supporting OS X

I was just messing with you
Can't you just run something like Wine? http://www.winehq.org/
That's what I usually do when i'm on ubuntu and I need windows!

Tilt, I have the kiwi wifi, and Rev and it's a nice app and solution, but it doesn't do true AFR as you'd want it.

http://www.yhasi.com/index.html That's an obd scan and logging app for mac. I haven't tried it with my kiwi, but they say it will work. I'll look into it this weekend and get some screen shots for you.

Install VirtualBox on your Mac and then install Windows. It is FREE and very easy to use. The Windows OS is virtual and not dual boot. Once you start the virtual instance you can raise and lower just like you would any other program.

Ah yeah, I haven't even looked into any sort of emulators in quite some time, I guess I was hoping for something OS X native.

Thanks for the input guys

Hey tilt. I tried out the Movi Pro I linked, and it wouldn't connect to the car. It connected to the Kiwi Wifi though. I tried every setting available with no dice. It was rather pricey anyway. Looks like you'll have to try some virtualization to get it to work.

Do the Dash Command or Fuzzy Car options with the Kiwi capture the AFR? If not I guess i will pass on the Kiwi.

Yeah just install Windows through Bootcamp (native) or Virtual Box (emulated).
