Anyone downloaded any useful apps for their FiST? I'd like to see a performance menu on the screen (lateral Gs, lap timer, 0-60, 1/4m, gauges)

I believe I mentioned this elsewhere already. Hope someone can. Seeing as it can do a complete vehicle health report, is should already be tied into the entire system and ODBII. Only needs a nice GUI made to display it.

On my old 7" Pioneer Z3 sat/navigation system I had in my R32, they had a g-force 3 gauge screen option that was good to use at AutoX events. Sure hope one could be made for our systems, along with a boost gauge!

In the Top Gear video comparison, the Renault Clio had this in their car. Even had an exhaust sound selection, to change what you heard while driving.

I have mentioned to those who can get that done, however, the MFT unit doesn't talk to the PCM in regards to pulling in data to display. There might not be enough interest for Microsoft to generate the screens and the ability to gather the data. I was looking for a boost gauge, coolant temp, oil temp, oil pressure, lateral G, brake/throttle percent applied, and possibly exhaust temps. I screen to monitor the engine would be very helpful.

Well, here's to hoping they open it up like Android phones, and allow independent coders to create apps for us!

Some of you guys might like this app called Torque. It's a few bucks in the play store(not sure about the app store) and you have to buy a Bluetooth Obd2 scanner but you're able to view live information and clear codes with the app. I've got it and just like to mess around with it in my 2009 Focus and it's fantastic.

This Android app Torque would be perfect for this! Only need a way to get it to display on the Ford My Touch / Sync screen, not on the phone. Special reason to want on the built-in screen, is because as someone already broke into my 2 week old Fiesta ST just to steal an older Escort 9500i radar detector, if they see a phone mount in the car, they will break into any car looking for something to steal, thinking if they see the mount, most people are too lazy to bring the device in with them. And, they DO WATCH for that, too!
