On low rpm this is great. But what is about high rpm like 150 kmh. I wonder how it sounds on that Ps. I Love ur product and will get it next week as I turn 18:) Also youre really nice customers Because you are answering every Comment great!
Hey zynoo, you're one of those people that we like to answer and are our "fuel" to keep this project going. 🚀⛽ To explain this, look at these two scenarios: 1) Ride uphill: - RPM: 3220 - Engine load: 87% - Speed: 35 km/h. 2) Accelerate on the highway: - Engine: 3220 RPM - Engine load: 87% - Speed: 150 km/h. In both cases, the RPM and engine load being the same, it means that the sound produced is the same. Speed does not directly interfere with an engine's sound production. This particular video did not allow high speeds as it is a rural area, but you can find other videos on our channel where we drive between 140-180 km/h. If you have any further questions, or need help, contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com Good luck and don't forget to drive carefully! 🚗😇
@@zynoo9450 all vehicles showcased here have stock sound systems. And so far, this is the car with the worst sound system shown here by us. In this particular case, the Pop & Bang feature doesn't sound so good on this car's sound system, as it doesn't have a "premium" sound system. The original amplifier and speakers do not excel in "audio quality". We only advise you to change the sound system if the sound doesn't sound right to you. Some basic but important tips to get better audio quality: - Playing audio over Bluetooth has a delay and degrades the audio quality, so use an AUX cable whenever possible. - Adjust the audio equalizer (EQ3) of your car radio, especially increasing the "bass" (not to the point where the audio gets distorted). - (Optional) If your audio system already has a subwoofer, even better! Remember that above all, the app is meant to be fun and never completely replace the sound of your vehicle. You are welcome, don't forget that you can also contact us by email.
Yes, the Potenza Drive app is completely safe. 😌🚨 We require the use of OBD-II adapters with ELM327 chips only for trust and security reasons. 👮♂️ These are well-known and documented commands that only READ basic engine information. There is no possibility with these chips to WRITE changes to the ECU engine. 🧐 In addition, the app does not have any malicious code that could compromise personal data or information. 🚷 With each app update, it always undergoes a rigorous set of careful tests carried out by a Google application inspection team. 🕵️ You can also read our Privacy Policy on the Google Play page of the Potenza Drive app. 🛡️✅💯 Just to add and because we like to be as transparent as possible: The only concern we can point out is the use of poor build quality OBD-II adapters (mainly those made in China). ⚠️ Due to the quality of the electronic circuits being deficient, short circuits or other electrical phenomena derived from these same circuits may occur, which may interfere with the vehicle CAN-BUS network and compromise its regular functioning. ⚡ But these are very specific and occasional exceptions. Car manufacturers also try to create mechanisms that prevent these phenomena from affecting their systems. 🛡️💪 If you have any additional questions, you can contact us: support@potenzadrive.com
Hey Leon, thank you for liking the Potenza Drive app, it makes us happy! 🤠 Regarding the delay you hear, it may have some sources: 🧐 1) Does your car have an old OBD-II protocol? Only the ISO 15765-4 CAN protocol can generate car sounds in real-time. This protocol transmits up to 140 parameters per second, while the other protocols transmit between 3 to 6 parameters per second (at best). Unfortunately, we tested some vehicles that can only transmit about 2 parameters per second. 2) Are you playing audio via Bluetooth? This is the biggest source of delay! Bluetooth is slow, it always has a delay of up to 2 seconds. It also applies compression to the audio, which loses its quality. IMPORTANT: Always use AUX cable! It's the only way to play real-time audio and maintains its quality. 3) Do you have a powerful smartphone? The Potenza Drive app is a demanding app in terms of resources, the smartphone's performance is important to manage the communication with the OBD-II adapter and generate the car sounds in real-time. 4) Do you have a good ELM327? If your ELM327 does not allow a constant and robust connection, some messages will be lost along the way, so the app will not be able to generate the car sounds in real-time. There are good ELM327s with a good response speed and bad ELM327s that are slow and lose communication easily. Are you now able to identify the source of the sound delay in your case? 🤓 If you need help to better identify the delay source, contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com As for new car sounds, we are currently working on that. We want to point out that it's not easy to get recordings of vehicles with these engines nowadays. But if we ever manage to catch one, for sure we will seize the opportunity. 😎 Thank you for being on our side! 🤝
@@ChaseEverything as written in the previous comment, having the Potenza Drive app running directly from your Android head unit is no guarantee that there will be no delay. Or even have an excellent OBD-II adapter. These are all the factors to take into account: ✅ Vehicle with ISO 15765-4 CAN protocol. ✅ A fast and reliable OBD-II adapter. ✅ Play audio directly via AUX cable or speakers, not via Bluetooth (A2DP). ✅ Android device with a fast processor. Only when ALL these factors are brought together is it possible to have real-time audio. Contact us if you have any questions, indicating all the devices you use so we can better advise you: support@potenzadrive.com
Hello, it is nice idea for app. Does it work for old car too? I have OBD2, but in car is minimum sensors , it is possible to read RPM. Are there some minimal requirements for app / for working propperly ? I have Dacia Logan 2006 1.4 MPI.
Hey Michal 👋 there is certainly a possibility to use the Potenza Drive app. 🚘 Your car should have an old OBD-II protocol, and it should be slow. Which makes impossible to generate real-time sounds. But don't get us wrong, the app should be fun to use!! 🤠 You can download our OBD-II Test app for free (link in the description of the video). This app will tell you if your OBD-II adapter (also the OBD-II protocol of your car) is a good device. It tells how much packets are lost during the test, and the average time to get new packets.

Hey, i've got an idea. Is it possible that the application only makes the sound of pop and bang without making the sound of the engine? I haven't seen this in any competing application and it would be nice. Thanks :)
Hey Baptiste, thanks for your suggestion! In fact, it's something we've been thinking about implementing for some time now. 🤓 We believe that the Potenza Drive app is the only app with the Pop & Bang feature, so we are committed to doing so soon. 💣💥 Thank you for your words and we count on your support! 🙏

Hey Obamnium, we suggest always using an aux cord. 👈 Passing audio directly over cable allows the audio to be instantly streamed to your car radio. You can stream audio through Bluetooth, but depending on the devices involved you will always have a delay of 0.5 to 1.5 seconds. By the way, real-time audio simulation with the Potenza Drive app is only possible for vehicles with "ISO 15765-4 CAN" as OBD-II protocol. This is the fastest OBD-II protocol. Please read our FAQ in the description of this video. You will find the answer to your questions. 👍
Hey Moin Meister, the OBD-II ELM327 adapter we are using in this video can be found here (ELM327 Blue): bit.ly/PD3wZSR77 It has given satisfactory results on every vehicle we've tested so far. 🚀
@@MoinMeyster we're pretty sure it's a clone version of the ELM327 chip. 🤫 Note that there are cloned versions that work just as well as the original. However, this is not always the case and you may get a very weak adapter. In our defence, we already ordered some adapters from this same supplier, and they all behaved as expected. Yet, if you get an adapter with a genuine ELM327 chip, the chances of it working correctly are guaranteed. Last note: the "ELM327 Blue" adapters are all similar on the outside, but on the inside they have completely different integrated circuits. So don't let the appearance fool you. Your adapter may not be the "same" as the one shown in this video.
You have a good eye! 🕵️😅 This car has a manual transmission, and as usual we stop accelerating when we shift (moment when we just step on the clutch pedal). 👣 Especially when we were upshifting, the RPM value that was on the CAN-BUS was strangely a higher RPM. Making the generated sounds play this RPM. Why? We don't know... is this a common problem on this brand's model? Or was it just our unit? 🤔 We remind you that the Potenza Drive app only reads the RPM transmitted by the OBD-II ELM327 adapter, and based on that, the sounds are generated. The app is not designed to "invent" RPM values by itself. ⚠️ If you have any questions or concerns, we are available at: support@potenzadrive.com
Hey Makenji, thank you so much for your kind message! 👐 That error is quite weird. But we will solve it 🚀 can you please contact us? support@potenzadrive.com
Hey Yugen, this message means you are trying to run the app without selecting an ELM327 adapter. First, you'll need to have an ELM327 Bluetooth adapter paired to your Android OS. Then in the app you will have to select the adapter in the device list, go to SETTINGS < SELECT DEVICE < [your_device_name]. Typically, the device name might be something like "OBDII". Then you will be able to use the app normally. Please note that without the ELM327 Bluetooth adapter the app does not work, as there is no way to receive information from your car. If you have any questions, we are available to help you: support@potenzadrive.com
Hey Moin Meister, thank you for enjoying this system. 😍 This Renault Clio gave us a little bit of struggle, we spent some time tweaking the car's audio system equalizer a bit to get a sound to our liking. But in the end, the result was an enjoyable experience. 👌
Hey Alessio, you can use Bluetooth. However we are going to explain why AUX cable has advantages. 🧐 Bluetooth compromises the experience when using the Potenza Drive app, as it always has a delay of 0.5 to 2 seconds, and audio codecs decrease the audio quality. 😭 With the AUX cable, there are no such problems, since it reproduces real-time audio and has higher audio quality. 😎 Therefore, it's the interface recommended by us whenever available.🚀

Hey Marci, thank you very much for your comment! 💯 In fact, it wasn't easy to get a sound to our liking as this car doesn't even have a very "capable" sound system. But we played with the car radio's audio equalizer to extract the best possible sound. Especially, what helped the most was tweaking the bass sounds. 👌 Most of the time, in all the vehicles we've tested, leaving the equalizer with the parameters at default values makes the car sounds not so real. 🧐
Any way to improve the response? There is a noticeable delay compared with the engine compared to other apps I have used that do the same thing. I suspect it may be the protocol but I'm not sure how to know which to use with my Bluetooth device.

Hello, great app 😄
Which obd adapter version is compatible, I can not get it to work with obd elm327 v1.5?
Hey Sanin, thanks mate! 🤩
An OBD-II adapter with the following characteristics is needed:
- ELM327 chip
- Bluetooth
However, most adapters contain cloned versions of the ELM327 chip (originally built by ELM Electronics).
This can cause the adapter or the car itself to have difficulties in interpreting the commands that are exchanged between them.
In order to help you, we ask that you contact us to: support@potenzadrive.com
Which obd do i need does it work with carista?? And also can make a video playing music through speakers as well as the the engine sounds
Hey fgg, we're not sure if your Carista adapter will work with the Potenza Drive app. 🤔
An OBD-II adapter with the following specifications is required:
- ELM327 (chip)
- Bluetooth
You can always download our test app, it will tell you if your adapter is compatible.

@@PotenzaDrive ok thank you
Can I use the mini-john Cooper Works sound if I buy this application?
Yes, in the Potenza Drive app you have access to the MINI John Cooper Works sound and many more car sounds. 👍
We are working to add more and more car sounds. 🔥
@@PotenzaDrive thanks 😊
This is awesome. Can you play music whilst the app is running? Also does this app have widgets to easily access turning the sound on/off? I want to put this on my android head unit!
Hey Harry, we're glad you liked the Potenza Drive app!! ❤️
Yes, the app allows you to simultaneously use other applications such as music player or navigation.
The app does not use any widgets. The main concept is choose the car sound you want and then be able to use your Android head unit on a regular basis without worrying about anything else. 🚀
Классное приложения! Почему у меня " pop& bang" не работает как я могу скачать???
Hey Daler, thanks for your wonderful words. 🤩
If the Pop & Bang option doesn't appear in your app, download the latest version.
This feature works with all car sounds. 💣
If you have any questions or issues, please contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com
On low rpm this is great. But what is about high rpm like 150 kmh. I wonder how it sounds on that
Ps. I Love ur product and will get it next week as I turn 18:) Also youre really nice customers Because you are answering every Comment great!
Hey zynoo, you're one of those people that we like to answer and are our "fuel" to keep this project going. 🚀⛽
To explain this, look at these two scenarios:
1) Ride uphill:
- RPM: 3220
- Engine load: 87%
- Speed: 35 km/h.
2) Accelerate on the highway:
- Engine: 3220 RPM
- Engine load: 87%
- Speed: 150 km/h.
In both cases, the RPM and engine load being the same, it means that the sound produced is the same.
Speed does not directly interfere with an engine's sound production.
This particular video did not allow high speeds as it is a rural area, but you can find other videos on our channel where we drive between 140-180 km/h.
If you have any further questions, or need help, contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com
Good luck and don't forget to drive carefully! 🚗😇
@@PotenzaDrive Hey! I understand now thank you very much🙃
@@PotenzaDrive Did this car have a different audio System or was it stock? Should I get an Audio System for clearer sound?
@@zynoo9450 all vehicles showcased here have stock sound systems. And so far, this is the car with the worst sound system shown here by us.
In this particular case, the Pop & Bang feature doesn't sound so good on this car's sound system, as it doesn't have a "premium" sound system.
The original amplifier and speakers do not excel in "audio quality".
We only advise you to change the sound system if the sound doesn't sound right to you.
Some basic but important tips to get better audio quality:
- Playing audio over Bluetooth has a delay and degrades the audio quality, so use an AUX cable whenever possible.
- Adjust the audio equalizer (EQ3) of your car radio, especially increasing the "bass" (not to the point where the audio gets distorted).
- (Optional) If your audio system already has a subwoofer, even better!
Remember that above all, the app is meant to be fun and never completely replace the sound of your vehicle.
You are welcome, don't forget that you can also contact us by email.
Is safe for your car engine?
Yes, the Potenza Drive app is completely safe. 😌🚨
We require the use of OBD-II adapters with ELM327 chips only for trust and security reasons. 👮♂️
These are well-known and documented commands that only READ basic engine information. There is no possibility with these chips to WRITE changes to the ECU engine. 🧐
In addition, the app does not have any malicious code that could compromise personal data or information. 🚷
With each app update, it always undergoes a rigorous set of careful tests carried out by a Google application inspection team. 🕵️
You can also read our Privacy Policy on the Google Play page of the Potenza Drive app. 🛡️✅💯
Just to add and because we like to be as transparent as possible: The only concern we can point out is the use of poor build quality OBD-II adapters (mainly those made in China). ⚠️
Due to the quality of the electronic circuits being deficient, short circuits or other electrical phenomena derived from these same circuits may occur, which may interfere with the vehicle CAN-BUS network and compromise its regular functioning. ⚡
But these are very specific and occasional exceptions. Car manufacturers also try to create mechanisms that prevent these phenomena from affecting their systems. 🛡️💪
If you have any additional questions, you can contact us: support@potenzadrive.com
Is pop and bang feature also available for other cars? Or its just for mini cooper?
Hey Ümit, the Pop & Bang feature is available for all the car sounds that you choose. 💣💥
I like this app.In my case sound its late like 1 or 2 second i dont know why.Can you add please some v10 biturbo and w12 engine sounds.Thanx
Hey Leon, thank you for liking the Potenza Drive app, it makes us happy! 🤠
Regarding the delay you hear, it may have some sources: 🧐
1) Does your car have an old OBD-II protocol?
Only the ISO 15765-4 CAN protocol can generate car sounds in real-time. This protocol transmits up to 140 parameters per second, while the other protocols transmit between 3 to 6 parameters per second (at best).
Unfortunately, we tested some vehicles that can only transmit about 2 parameters per second.
2) Are you playing audio via Bluetooth?
This is the biggest source of delay!
Bluetooth is slow, it always has a delay of up to 2 seconds.
It also applies compression to the audio, which loses its quality.
IMPORTANT: Always use AUX cable! It's the only way to play real-time audio and maintains its quality.
3) Do you have a powerful smartphone?
The Potenza Drive app is a demanding app in terms of resources, the smartphone's performance is important to manage the communication with the OBD-II adapter and generate the car sounds in real-time.
4) Do you have a good ELM327?
If your ELM327 does not allow a constant and robust connection, some messages will be lost along the way, so the app will not be able to generate the car sounds in real-time.
There are good ELM327s with a good response speed and bad ELM327s that are slow and lose communication easily.
Are you now able to identify the source of the sound delay in your case? 🤓
If you need help to better identify the delay source, contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com
As for new car sounds, we are currently working on that.
We want to point out that it's not easy to get recordings of vehicles with these engines nowadays.
But if we ever manage to catch one, for sure we will seize the opportunity. 😎
Thank you for being on our side! 🤝
I have elm 327 and I am using this thru an android head unit and there's delay. What obd connectors won't have the lag please? @@PotenzaDrive
@@ChaseEverything as written in the previous comment, having the Potenza Drive app running directly from your Android head unit is no guarantee that there will be no delay. Or even have an excellent OBD-II adapter.
These are all the factors to take into account:
✅ Vehicle with ISO 15765-4 CAN protocol.
✅ A fast and reliable OBD-II adapter.
✅ Play audio directly via AUX cable or speakers, not via Bluetooth (A2DP).
✅ Android device with a fast processor.
Only when ALL these factors are brought together is it possible to have real-time audio.
Contact us if you have any questions, indicating all the devices you use so we can better advise you: support@potenzadrive.com
Hello, it is nice idea for app. Does it work for old car too? I have OBD2, but in car is minimum sensors , it is possible to read RPM. Are there some minimal requirements for app / for working propperly ? I have Dacia Logan 2006 1.4 MPI.
Hey Michal 👋 there is certainly a possibility to use the Potenza Drive app. 🚘
Your car should have an old OBD-II protocol, and it should be slow. Which makes impossible to generate real-time sounds.
But don't get us wrong, the app should be fun to use!! 🤠
You can download our OBD-II Test app for free (link in the description of the video).
This app will tell you if your OBD-II adapter (also the OBD-II protocol of your car) is a good device.
It tells how much packets are lost during the test, and the average time to get new packets.
We are happy to help you, so if you want more tips and advice about how to get the Potenza Drive app to work properly, please contact us: support@potenzadrive.com
Ciao siete italiani ?
Ciao Gerardo, non sono italiano! 😅🤌
But we can agree that Italy is a magnificent country! 🇮🇹🤩
Hey, i've got an idea. Is it possible that the application only makes the sound of pop and bang without making the sound of the engine? I haven't seen this in any competing application and it would be nice. Thanks :)
Hey Baptiste, thanks for your suggestion!
In fact, it's something we've been thinking about implementing for some time now. 🤓
We believe that the Potenza Drive app is the only app with the Pop & Bang feature, so we are committed to doing so soon. 💣💥

Can I just use an aux cord? Or do i need other stuff
Hey Obamnium, we suggest always using an aux cord. 👈
Passing audio directly over cable allows the audio to be instantly streamed to your car radio.
You can stream audio through Bluetooth, but depending on the devices involved you will always have a delay of 0.5 to 1.5 seconds.
By the way, real-time audio simulation with the Potenza Drive app is only possible for vehicles with "ISO 15765-4 CAN" as OBD-II protocol. This is the fastest OBD-II protocol.
Please read our FAQ in the description of this video. You will find the answer to your questions. 👍
Which ObD are you using in this Video seems to be good:)
Hey Moin Meister, the OBD-II ELM327 adapter we are using in this video can be found here (ELM327 Blue): bit.ly/PD3wZSR77
It has given satisfactory results on every vehicle we've tested so far. 🚀
@@PotenzaDrive is this a Fake From an OBD? I have the same and in an email you ment that with copied Chips it‘s slower.
@@MoinMeyster we're pretty sure it's a clone version of the ELM327 chip. 🤫
Note that there are cloned versions that work just as well as the original.
However, this is not always the case and you may get a very weak adapter.
In our defence, we already ordered some adapters from this same supplier, and they all behaved as expected. Yet, if you get an adapter with a genuine ELM327 chip, the chances of it working correctly are guaranteed.
Last note: the "ELM327 Blue" adapters are all similar on the outside, but on the inside they have completely different integrated circuits. So don't let the appearance fool you.
Your adapter may not be the "same" as the one shown in this video.
I only have 7 car option
Hey, you just have to update the Potenza Drive app through Google Play. 📲
Why was he not letting off the gas when shifting?
You have a good eye! 🕵️😅
This car has a manual transmission, and as usual we stop accelerating when we shift (moment when we just step on the clutch pedal). 👣
Especially when we were upshifting, the RPM value that was on the CAN-BUS was strangely a higher RPM. Making the generated sounds play this RPM.
Why? We don't know... is this a common problem on this brand's model? Or was it just our unit? 🤔
We remind you that the Potenza Drive app only reads the RPM transmitted by the OBD-II ELM327 adapter, and based on that, the sounds are generated.
The app is not designed to "invent" RPM values by itself. ⚠️

Its great
Thank you so much Edy 🥰 we are happy that you appreciate our hard work! 💪
noce
We really hope you like it buddy! 🫶
Hello, why I have the message : no device specifited for the connection
Hey Yugen, this message means you are trying to run the app without selecting an ELM327 adapter.
First, you'll need to have an ELM327 Bluetooth adapter paired to your Android OS.
Then in the app you will have to select the adapter in the device list, go to SETTINGS < SELECT DEVICE < [your_device_name].
Typically, the device name might be something like "OBDII". Then you will be able to use the app normally.
Please note that without the ELM327 Bluetooth adapter the app does not work, as there is no way to receive information from your car.
If you have any questions, we are available to help you: support@potenzadrive.com
Love your System!
Hey Moin Meister, thank you for enjoying this system. 😍
This Renault Clio gave us a little bit of struggle, we spent some time tweaking the car's audio system equalizer a bit to get a sound to our liking. But in the end, the result was an enjoyable experience. 👌
Is it possible to use the bluetooth connection for audio instead aux?
Hey Alessio, you can use Bluetooth. However we are going to explain why AUX cable has advantages. 🧐
Bluetooth compromises the experience when using the Potenza Drive app, as it always has a delay of 0.5 to 2 seconds, and audio codecs decrease the audio quality. 😭
With the AUX cable, there are no such problems, since it reproduces real-time audio and has higher audio quality. 😎
Therefore, it's the interface recommended by us whenever available.🚀

@@PotenzaDrive I have an aux cable but not an obd adaptor if that's good I can still use the app right? With my car
@@sorrow5816 you always need an OBD-II ELM327 adapter that can read your vehicle's parameters, such as speed, engine rpm, accelerator pedal position, among others. Without an adapter, the Potenza Drive app does not have specific information to be able to generate car sounds. ⚠
See our list below with all the requirements, and the impact each one has. 👇
The devices used in the setup have a huge impact on this aspect. By setup we mean:
● Car OBD-II protocol
Only cars with ISO 15765-4 CAN protocol allows real-time sounds. Other protocols are immensely slower.
● OBD-II ELM327 adapter
A good adapter can be up to 3 times faster in acquiring engine information.
Also, a good adapter achieves more stable communication (without losing packets).
● Smartphone/Tablet
The performance of this device is important to be able to allocate all the necessary resources to the Potenza Drive app so that it can generate sounds in real-time and establish fast communication.
● AUX cable
Playing audio through AUX cable is the only way to get real-time sound. Playing audio via Bluetooth always has a delay of 0.5 to 2 seconds.
Also the audio quality is worse compared to using AUX cable.
If you have any further questions, we advise you to contact us via: support@potenzadrive.com
This sounds is so realistic
Hey Marci, thank you very much for your comment! 💯
In fact, it wasn't easy to get a sound to our liking as this car doesn't even have a very "capable" sound system. But we played with the car radio's audio equalizer to extract the best possible sound. Especially, what helped the most was tweaking the bass sounds. 👌
Most of the time, in all the vehicles we've tested, leaving the equalizer with the parameters at default values makes the car sounds not so real. 🧐
Any way to improve the response? There is a noticeable delay compared with the engine compared to other apps I have used that do the same thing. I suspect it may be the protocol but I'm not sure how to know which to use with my Bluetooth device.
