dynOBD is an android application that keeps track of statistics about any given car trip. It uses bluetooth to connect to an OBDII dongle that is connected seperately to the car's DLC. Instructions on connecting the dongle to the car can be found here. Alternatively if there is no access to an OBDII dongle then the user can generate simulated data which is explained in further detail down below.
