Greetings all.

As both a techie and Landcuiser owner I have decided to build an app for for my own use to help monitor \ track \ log and alert on key parameters specific to our vehicle. I have decided to make it available to all you fine folks. I have few features as a in-app purchase but key features ( ATF monitoring, Car Play integations , 12v battery health) are all on the free tier. This is an early build so be-kind. And let me know if there is anything else you think I should add in. Spotter — Truck Health Monitor

Looks like an awesome idea, and I am inspired to merge the functionality of one I’ve been tinkering with as well.

I’m going to purchase the pro version of your app. The documentation recommends the OBDLink CX as the recommended oBD adapter, but when I review that product on Amazon it indicates it is specific to BMW. Just wanted to confirm that’s the right product to pair with your app for our Land Cruisers?

The CX is the one I did all my development on . My research showed it had the best stability of signal in the middle of the road OBD ii Bluetooth adapters .. But I did test on the veepeak that is on the adapter page as well if you want a slightly cheaper option Tested Adapters — Spotter
 
I have the Veepeak adapter purchased for my previous vehicle, can vouch that it works with the Land Cruiser. I tried it after downloading Carista.
