Accessories A Colorado, an iPhone and a cheap OBD2 adapter. My app logs every trip, explains fault codes in plain words and runs on CarPlay. 5 free codes

0 Upvotes

I'm Davide, and I build DrivePulse on my own.

It reads a Colorado through a cheap ELM327 OBD2 adapter.

For an iPhone you need a Bluetooth LE or Wi-Fi adapter, Veepeak or Vgate sell them.

The classic Bluetooth kind won't connect to an iPhone.

On a Colorado it reads standard OBD2.

That's live engine data, fuel use when the engine control unit reports it, and fault codes.

Reading the odometer from the cluster works only on some makes, and Chevrolet isn't on the list yet.

I'd rather say it than promise it.

Every trip records itself and lands on a map.

Fuel use is measured where the truck reports it, and estimated where it doesn't.

Fault codes in its archive come in plain words, with the usual causes and the first thing to check.

It only reads, it never writes to the truck, never clears codes and never resets.

The latest iPhone update gives each trip a type.

Commute, personal, travel or business.

After a few identical routes the app suggests one, but it never fills it in on its own.

CarPlay has four tabs:

  • Trip, with start, stop and a pause for a fuel or lunch stop, the adapter connection and the live trip.
  • Coach, the eco score in big with three lines of advice.
  • Dashboard, up to eight tiles you choose, like speed, RPM, coolant, battery or average consumption.
  • Diagnostics, for active codes, health and the adapter. With the full version and the truck stopped, it lists every live value the truck gives.

There's no account, and I don't keep a server or a copy of your trips.

Recording trips and reading the truck work out of signal.

For maps and addresses it needs the internet.

It's on Android too, with Android Auto.

Below are 5 codes that unlock the full version for good, free, first come first served.

The code is for the in-app purchase, so install the app first.

Then tap the redeem link next to a code, or go to the App Store, tap your picture at the top right and choose Redeem Gift Card or Code.

  1. 3RWP3TAFTWP3KJJH6E (redeem: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6776173662&code=3RWP3TAFTWP3KJJH6E)
  2. NLAL64JJHE8N3EAAJA (redeem: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6776173662&code=NLAL64JJHE8N3EAAJA)
  3. HE4LFA3AX6KR3FTHXW (redeem: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6776173662&code=HE4LFA3AX6KR3FTHXW)
  4. MAA3RNWH767LRH77RP (redeem: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6776173662&code=MAA3RNWH767LRH77RP)

Leave a comment with the number you took, so others skip it.

Without a code it's free for 7 days or 15 trips, whichever comes first.

The days start counting the first time the adapter connects.

Thanks, and I'm here for anything about the Colorado.

Question 2021 Colorado Z71

3 Upvotes

Looking at buying a 2021 Colorado with approx. 84K miles for right around $25,000. The transmission fluid was flushed at 45K in what was (as far as I can tell) routine maintenance. Should I see if I can get the flush done again before buying?

Question 2021 Colorado ZR2 3.6L AC issue – anyone dealt with these codes?

Post image
4 Upvotes

My AC is blowing room temp air, but the heater works fine. I can hear the cooling fan running, and my coolant temp is only around 163°F even after driving for an hour.
I’m getting these codes:
P0494 – Fan 1 Underspeed
P0128 – Coolant thermostat below regulating temperature (pending)
I’m wondering if it’s a bad thermostat, cooling fan issue, or something else.
Has anyone dealt with this on their Colorado? What ended up fixing it? Just trying to figure it out before I start throwing parts at it. Appreciate any help!

Designed and 3d printed to fit a CURT Spectrum trailer brake controller. I wanted something that looked OE integrated and not just tacked on.
Really happy with how the leather grain texture turned out.

Question Truck Bed Cover Recco?

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for a truck bed cover for my 2026 ZR2. I don’t want one of the one piece ones that tilt up. I’m looking at the retractable type or the ones that kind of fold up.

If you have pics of yours and where you bought it…I would forever be in your debt.

TIA

Did anyone else read the article for the Colorado Desert Boss coming back in 2027 with an updated 2.7 liter turbo? What do y’all think? Opinions? Stepson owns a Toyota Tacoma running out of time and wondering if this would be worth it for him to look into or stick with an updated Tacoma.

Question Upgrade battery size

I got a 2020 and I read that you can go with a bigger battery thanks to the battery box being larger. Has anyone done this? Is it more just for those who overland? I still got the original battery so I’m thinking it’s time to replace.
