M Performance Drive Analyzer

Description

The M Performance Drive Analyzer is a product that is essentially a new type of recording and analysis tool for drives with vehicle information. It can be used, for example, to record and evaluate braking distance measurements or distance races. This product consists of two parts: -Hardware: OBD stick (on board diagnostic), which is plugged into the vehicle. -Software: App for the smartphone. -The system, derived from motorsport, provides the driver with all important driving dynamics data and offers extensive and professional recording as well as analysis options, which can be evaluated and displayed via the smartphone. With the help of the separately available Click & Drive holder, the smartphone can be easily attached to the windshield. When the engine and app are started, data recording begins. The driver can view the results directly on the smartphone after each drive. Thus, the driver can experience the full potential of his vehicle. The product is suitable for all vehicles from 2008 onwards (including motorsport), but not for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. Product features: -The M Performance Drive Analyser makes perfect analysis of driving behavior possible. -On the one hand, the Drive Analyser is suitable for the sporty, dynamic driver who also uses the product on race tracks. On the other hand, this product is an ideal companion for everyday use when desired driving dynamics data needs to be determined simply and professionally. -The Drive Analyser determines a wide range of relevant key data, such as various engine data, speed and peak values, current gear, gas pedal and brake usage or lateral acceleration (see Technical Information). -Immediately after recording, the results can be played back and analyzed on the smartphone in the form of videos or graphically prepared displays. -Both the hardware and the app are branded with the sporty BMW M Performance design and ideally match the instrument panel and interior of vehicles from the M Performance range. -The smartphone can be attached quickly and conveniently with the help of the BMW Click & Drive holder, which is also available as an accessory. -Both the OBD stick and the BMW Click & Drive holder can be easily installed using a plug-and-play mechanism. -The M Performance Drive Analyser app is free of charge for BMW customers. Functionality -Without the OBD stick, you can only view the app and get a taste of the features. The complete functionality can only be executed with the purchased and installed stick (socket for plugging in is located in the driver's footwell). -The app runs on Android and iOS smartphones as well as tablets, which are particularly well suited for the evaluations due to their larger screen. -The M Performance Drive Analyser app can be downloaded from the iOS and Android stores. -With the Demo Track, all analysis functions can be tested before purchase. -The smartphone connects to the vehicle via the OBD stick and transforms it into an interactive driving experience system. The smartphone and OBD stick are paired using Bluetooth Low Energy technology and only need to be connected once per vehicle. -The software is activated once using the activation code supplied in the hardware (Internet connection required). -After successful installation and pairing, recording can begin. All measured activities are stored directly on the smartphone and can be retrieved at any time. -The BMW Head-Up Screen can be retrofitted as an option. Via the connection to the Head-Up Screen, all TestDrive data is transmitted and displayed time-synchronously via WLAN. -The Video Export function (iOS only) automatically generates an mp4 video file including overlay data. The generated video file is stored in the image gallery and can be sent from there via YouTube, WhatsApp and iTunes, for example. -The CoreDrive display has been expanded to include the following driving dynamics data: coolant temperature, engine oil temperature (depending on model), RPM, engine load, speed, intake manifold/charge pressure. -The TrackDrive graph displays fuel consumption history over time, in addition to liters/100 km, now also as liters/hour, gallons/100 miles and gallons/hour. Technical Information: Video data, audio data and GPS data can be recorded and played back with the M Performance Drive Analyzer. In addition, the following driving dynamics data can be measured, among others: RPM, engine power, lateral acceleration, brake deceleration, gear engaged, altitude above sea level, reaction start times, distance racing, CO2 emissions, fuel consumption, catalytic converter temperature, on-board voltage, ignition angle, intake temperature, fuel pressure, air mass, coolant temperature, engine oil temperature, engine load, speed, intake manifold/charge pressure. Notice: -Firmware adjustment OBD stick: for lowering power consumption in stand-by mode, the red LED is turned off. The OBD stick can be updated with the new firmware at any time. -The product is suitable for all vehicles built in 2008 and later (including motorsports), but not for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. -Apple devices: The product is suitable for devices from iOS 9, from iPhone 5, iPad mini/iPad Air (only with "WiFi + Cellular" equipment). -Android devices: The product is suitable for devices from Android 4.3.
