About DashCAN: Lap Timer & ECU Dash
This app requires a DashCAN Bluetooth Interface to connect to your car's ECU. (www.dashcan.eu) Turn your iPhone or iPad into a powerful automotive dashboard. Live Engine Gauges Monitor RPM, coolant temperature, exhaust gas temperature, intake air temperature, manifold pressure, throttle position, oil temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, vehicle speed, lambda, fuel pressure, power, torque, ignition advance, knock amplitude, gear position, and more — all in real time. Fully Customizable Dashboard Choose from 7 gauge designs including analog needles, bar gauges, text displays, and live charts. Drag, resize, and arrange gauges freely on your screen. Save and load layout presets to switch between configurations instantly. Customize colors to match your style. Shift Light Configurable RPM-based shift light indicator helps you nail every gear change on track or on the strip. GPS Lap Timer Built-in lap timer with GPS tracking for track days. Define your own tracks with finish line and sector points. Get real-time lap times, best lap tracking, delta times, sector splits, and a live track map. Analyze your laps with detailed post-session breakdowns including G-force telemetry. Performance Meter Measure 0-100 km/h, 100-200 km/h, quarter-mile times, and create custom speed or distance-based measurements. Track your results with split times and full session history. Data Logging Record telemetry sessions with all connected sensor data. Review logs with interactive charts, zoom, and data pointers. Export logs for further analysis. Cloud Sync Create an account to upload and back up your lap timer sessions, logs, and performance results to the cloud. Import & Export Share gauge configurations, button layouts, indicator setups, and log data using custom file formats (.dcg, .dcb, .dci, .dcl). CAN Bus & OBD Support Works with DashCAN Bluetooth adapters for direct CAN bus communication. Supports a wide range of ECU protocols and sensor types. Designed for the Track Landscape-only, full-screen interface optimized for dashboard mounting. Works on both iPhone and iPad with tablet-optimized scaling.
What’s new
Version 1.08.20 · Updated October 17, 2026
NEW • History: Logs & History now holds your CAN logs, lap sessions and performance runs behind three tabs. The History button in Laptimer and Performance opens the same view, and a CAN log recorded during a session or run links straight to it. • OpenHaldex AWD controller: pair an OpenHaldex-C6 next to your DashCAN, watch the live AWD lock, switch modes, tune its driving settings and put AWD Lock or Steering on any gauge. • 3D chase-cam map and drift angle: video HUDs can show the track as a 3D view that follows your car, plus a drift angle instrument, a steering wheel and an attitude horizon. Pick your HUD design from a list with a live preview. • 1 ft rollout: standing drag runs (60 ft, 1/8 and 1/4 mile, 1000 ft) can be shown with the 1 ft rollout, the way drag strips time them, and burned into exported run clips. • More accurate launch timing with DashCAN APEX: the start of a standing run is detected from the accelerometer, removing the GPS delay. Runs you already recorded with APEX can be re-timed from History. • New share card for runs: time, split table, speed chart and run conditions on one clean sheet. • Run Cards for device recordings: with APEX firmware 1.05.17 or newer, each recording shows its top speed, 0–100, 100–200, distance and peak G before you download it, and new recordings are marked until you import them. • GPS to CAN: send the DashCAN APEX GPS onto your car's CAN bus for your ECU or data logger, and export a matching DBC file (Settings → GPS to CAN). • New gauge picker: a fullscreen picker with categories, search and a live preview. • Devices panel under Account: see where you are signed in and sign out one device or all the others. • Update notices: the app and your DashCAN tell you once when a new version is available, only while you are parked. Critical updates are clearly marked. IMPROVED • Stay signed in for 12 months. Your login is kept in the phone's secure storage. • Fluid gauges (experimental): turn on Fluid gauges (60 fps) under Settings → CAN for smooth needle movement between CAN updates. • Sharper sprint timing: runs from phone GPS and device logs start at the real launch, ignoring GPS spikes and the drive to the start. • Video HUD: run times with three decimals and a clearer performance panel. • OBD device recordings log every supported OBD2 channel, not only the gauges on screen. • Faster logs: long log lists open quickly and load more as you scroll, and empty logs are hidden. • Firmware updates no longer get stuck on "Sending…" after a reconnect. • New start-up animation, plus bug fixes.
