While the application was first developed for GM OBD-I ECUs, it uses a very flexible way of parsing ECU data stream that has proven useful to a lot of other car enthusiasts such as owners of BMW, Ford, DSM (Mitsubishi), Porsche, etc. The application also includes a complete tuning interface as well as data log file viewers which are in the form of time series, maps and scatter plots.

Customize the dashboards with any indicators you want to see
Android sensors on your device are used to display useful GPS geolocation data (including speed) as well as triple axis accelerometer data (including g-force)
Display the app in your windshield to see it at a glance
Look at the data you just data logged on your phone or tablet using the build-in time series, maps or scatter plot log viewers
Tune on the fly using supported real-time tuning hardware or edit a binary file to program a chip later

The application uses ADX and XDF files which are files from TunerPro (Windows software). These files can be found on various sites such as TunerPro Web site itself, GearHead EFI forums as well as your cars enthusiasts forums related to your specific vehicle.
Here is the easy steps that you can follow that will get you going
Find the ADX file for your vehicle. This is often the hardest part. Once your've found it, the rest is easy!
Install the ALDLdroid application from Google Play
Use the Import Data stream feature of the application to import your ADX file.
Connect the ALDL cable to your vehicle diagnostic port. Hit the Connect to ECU menu in the application and watch the data come in!
The application supports various hardware that can be wired or connected wirelessly to your Android device. Here is what is currently supported:
Wired connection (USB) and wireless (Bluetooth) are both supported by the app. For Bluetooth, we suggest the Red Devil River adapters (or the 1320 electronics if you can find one used) and for USB, any FTDI (USB chip) based cable will do. :obd2allinone should have what you need.
It is possible to program chip for your ECU using the Moates BURN1 (discontinued), BURN2 as well as AutoProm.
For real-time tuning, the application currently support the Moates hardware as well. That is the Ostrich as well as the AutoProm.
If you ECU is equipped with an NVRAM module for real-time tuning, that is also supported for some ECU. Mainly Australian ECUs at this point and more can be added as required.
Some of the features described above can be seen on the screenshots below.
We love to see what our customers do with our application so here a video of Boosted & Built Garage and his pretty awesome setup.

Historically, virtual brass has struggled with "the machine gun effect"—the repetitive, lifeless sound of the same sample being triggered. The TPS Brass Section Module addresses this through advanced scripting and multi-velocity layering, ensuring that every staccato stab and swelling crescendo feels organic.

The "TPS" in its name refers to a proprietary sampling technique that focuses on velocity layering and dynamic crossfading . Unlike older libraries that suffered from the "machine-gun effect" (repetitive attacks), TPS captures multiple round-robins and up to 12 distinct dynamic layers per note.
Installation is straightforward. The module runs as VST3, AU, or AAX. It is surprisingly light on CPU compared to something like a full orchestral template. Here is a typical workflow for a hip-hop or trap producer using the TPS Brass Section Module:
Instead of requiring you to load separate instruments and manually arrange them, this module lets you play fully voiced chords and stabs instantly. It is built specifically for genres that rely on punchy, energetic horn sections, such as pop, funk, soul, R&B, and jazz. Key Features and Architecture 1. Multi-Instrument Engine
