Finally OBD sound thats somewhat realistic and doesn't sound out of a early 2000s videogame, well done! Two questions for you: 1. Doesn't WiFi have less input lag? And if yes, will the app support it? 2. Are you planning/ working on releasing the app on IOS aswell?
Hey, we are glad you liked it! Our mission is to provide the most authentic engine and exhaust sound generator inside your car that sounds natural and not artificial like other apps. 1. The app support the Bluetooth (OBD2 ELM327) solution, so you can save on battery. All the OBD protocols are supported, however more recent cars (>2008) can use the option "FAST COMMUNICATION". Any acceleration/deceleration, RPM, gear change, delivered torque and more are tracked in real-time. 2. Yes! We are planning to launch the app for iOS. Subscribe us!
Hey, if your stand alone ECU is able to provide standard OBD-II PID (messages) and whether this bluetooth communication is done via an ELM327 chip, it might work! But we suggest you to try our "OBD2 Test" application in the video description.
Hey Kieron! Yes, for the Potenza Drive app to work, an OBD-II adapter with the ELM327 chip and that communicates via Bluetooth (not Wi-Fi) is required. OBD-II ELM327 Bluetooth adapter: www.amzn.com/B08NWZQKZJ
Hey Stuart, OBDeleven has several products in their portfolio. However if their OBD-II adapter contains the following features it is likely to work: - Chip: ELM327 - Communication: Bluetooth We suggest that you try our test app to see if your adapter (and your car's OBD-II protocol) is compatible.

Hey i just bought the app and an elm327 config usb output obd2 dongle and running the app with a the adroid auto headunit with usb. The obd reader will work fine and then it gets stuck looping whatever rpm when the dongle loosing connection or the app is freezing. Is there specific way to set up usb connection? I have the set up app set to ubs and the drive app set to usb. What should the config be ?
Hey, first of all, thank you for choosing Potenza Drive. 😍 We ask that you report your issue via our support email to ensure we can help you in the best way possible: support@potenzadrive.com Given your report, what seems most obvious to us is that your OBD-II adapter (USB) is capable of receiving data (such as RPM). After some time, as communication intensifies, your OBD-II adapter is unable to collect new information, leaving only the information it previously received. The same sound is played for some time, as no new information is received. The app, realizing this and unable to obtain new information, ends up disconnecting itself (as it was impossible to reestablish communication). This may happen because: 1) The OBD-II adapter is of poor quality. Most devices are clones (fake chips) of the ELM327. 2) Your vehicle's OBD-II protocol is old. Only the ISO 15765-4 CAN protocol allows real-time and stable communication. In comparison, this protocol can be up to 3500% faster. If your vehicle has a protocol different from this, communication will be slow and compromised, especially if the OBD-II adapter is not of good quality. Again, we await your contact so that we can provide you with more details. 🤗🔧
Hey, we started this project as a hobby with very limited resources. 😢 Unfortunately, we cannot ensure at the moment that this could be released anytime soon, or even released at all. We have plans to bring the app for iOS in the future, but only time will tell if it will see the day light. Thanks for all your support! ❤️

Hey Arif, you gave us 1 star over Google Play. But why?! :( As you can see, both in the video and in the video description, only OBD-II adapters over Bluetooth are supported (not Wi-Fi, like you wish). Can you read that? Bluetooth adapters consume less battery from your smartphone/tablet, have a more stable connection and in our exhaustive tests, they proved to be faster.
Hey Vallevert, the Potenza Drive app does not work on Electric Vehicles (EV). It needs parameters that are only available on vehicles with an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
Hey Carlo, for a non-delay experience, you must use the audio cable. But most of the time we use audio through Bluetooth and we have great results. However, the delay depends on the supported Bluetooth's audio codecs of your car's radio and the performance capabilities of your smartphone.
Hey Pengfei, the app development started a year ago as a hobby. Right now, there's a lot of demand from the audience to put in new sounds, but it's not easy for us to pick up the vehicles you ask for and get recordings the next day. Keep in mind that it takes months to get quality recordings and work on them. We prefer to have only a few sounds, than many compared to other apps, but that these few convey the feeling of reality. At launch, we started with 3 cars, today we have 7, and we will definitely be adding more. We work every day to improve the simulation and communication algorithms. We are currently working to introduce the Pop & Bang feature, which we hope to launch in the coming weeks. 💣 Thank you for supporting our journey and using the Potenza Drive app! 😃👍

Hello I just ordered an OBD device, but I ordered the wifi version and not the Bluetooth version, can I still connect it to the car speakers like... I connect the OBD to my phone and with phone Bluetooth or phone AUX, I connect my phone to the car speakers. Is this solution possible or should I be worried it won't work? Thanks for your response in advance.
Hey Mate, unfortunately the OBD-II adapter you purchased will not work with the Potenza Drive app. An OBD-II adapter with the following specifications is required: - ELM327 (chip) - Bluetooth What are the advantages of a Bluetooth adapter over Wi-Fi? - It saves 10 times more your smartphone battery. - When Wi-Fi is turned on, you cannot use the Internet from your smartphone (Mobile Data). Therefore, you cannot use other apps while driving that require Internet access, such as Navigation (GPS) and Music streaming. Requirements for the Potenza Drive: 1) Smartphone/tablet with Android OS. 2) OBD-II ELM327 (Bluetooth) adapter. 3) Car with AUX cable input (note: if you stream audio via Bluetooth, you will have a sound delay). If you need further help, please contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com
The Potenza Drive app works with combustion engines (petrol or diesel). ⛽ You can choose any car sound to your liking. 🎲 Please read our list of requirements: www.potenzadrive.com/requirements
Hey, this new DSG/DCT burp trend of bangs and pops is relatively new. It's caused by a fuel igniting in the exhaust, so it's a mechanical phenomenon that is not possible to recreate only through OBD information. However, there is a big chance that this feature may be implemented by us in an upcoming version. We are launching the app with three different car sounds. We dedicate a lot of time to obtain the most realistic sounds, that no app can match. We prefer quality over quantity, and we believe that a good sound is better than many that sound artificial. However, new sounds will be released soon, so enjoy as the app only costs a few bucks. 😉
Hey RetroRepair, the vast majority of apps that use USB are diagnostic apps aimed at a very specific market, such as programming ECUs. The USB interface was tested by us and did not bring speed or stability benefits over Bluetooth. In addition, this interface is falling into disuse, it is not practical to connect a USB cable whenever you want to use the Potenza Drive app (or similar) and it drains your smartphone/tablet battery. Another issue is that many Android devices may require USB driver installation (FTDI Chip or Silicon Labs). In short, Bluetooth is an interface as fast and stable as USB (if you have a good adapter and fast smartphone/tablet), you don't need cables, and the ELM327 adapters are very cheap.
Hey Ghulam, the Potenza Drive app relies on information coming from an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). When the ICE is operating, you will hear the car sounds. When the car is running in Electric mode, it will not send information needed to generate car sounds, so no sound will be heard in this mode. We hope our answer helps you! 😉
Hey BEAST ART, yes it's possible! 👍 BUT! If you play audio through Bluetooth you'll always have a delay of 0.5 to 2 seconds, and also lower audio quality (Bluetooth codecs). That's why we always recommend AUX cable. In the description of this video we have a workaround for situations where you have no AUX cable available.
Haha (maybe) you don't need the Potenza Drive app! 🙈 But we're so glad you're enjoying it! 🤩 If possible leave us a positive feedback on Google Play to encourage us to create more sounds and features. ❤️ Whenever you need us, we are available at: support@potenzadrive.com
Hey exitixs, unfortunately, it is not yet available. 🥺 At the moment, as a very small team, we are working on the Android platform on which we started this project. There is room for improvement every day, and it takes our time. We are aware that you want this for iOS as much as we do. We haven't been able to estimate a release date, but we're working hard to get there! Your support is more than welcome! 😃
Its crashing on my S9+, and losts connection all the time, it works only for a couple of seconds (and then it crashes) I'll try to reinstall my phone, i hope it will work
Hey Hacky982, Sorry to hear about that. We are still working on the app, and trying to improve the stability each day. So don't give up on us, we promise that we'll end up with the perfect app!! ;) Thank you to support our work and if you have further questions, please reach us by email: support@potenzadrive.com
Hey! Got it and really like it 😊 However im facing some sort of input lag or something. When I accelerate, the audio delays for one second. Any solutions??
Hey Max, thank so much for your words mate! 🥰 There are many factors that may lead to audio delay. How can you reduce it? 👀 1) OBD-II protocol: Having a car with the ISO 15765-4 CAN. This protocol is the fastest one and the only one to enable real-time audio. Older protocols are extremely slow in comparison and less reliable. 2) OBD-II adapter: Having an adapter with a good ELM327 chip is required to get timely data from the vehicle's engine. 3) AUX cable: Use it to play real-time audio. If you use Bluetooth you will always have a delay of 0.5 to 2 seconds. Also Bluetooth is known for its poor sound quality (audio codecs from Bluetooth). 4) Android device: It needs to be powerful enough to handle the communication and generate the sounds. If you need further help to understand more about the audio delay, please contact us: support@potenzadrive.com
If I find my elm327 today I'll buy the app. Can you please consider inserting some jdm cars such as rx-7 ( 4 rotor would be awesome ) and a skyline gtr r-34? Those 2 cars can give a serious eargasm.
Hey Ivo, thank you for the suggestion. 💯 We have plans to add more car sounds. Unfortunately, these cars are very hard to find around here. But who knows what the future might hold. Please note that we already have a Nissan GT-R R35 (check out our latest video) in our vehicle list and we intend to increase it as soon as we get new recordings. And of course... including for jdm. 🔥
@@ivomilo6210 thank you for your understanding. And... Oh what sad news! 😜 Unfortunately, the app does no't support Wi-Fi, but Bluetooth.

Hey Raoul, you need a car stereo/radio with aux input (recommended) or bluetooth. Then you can use your favourite music player while using the Potenza Drive app.
Hey Daniel, there's no harm in having an OBD-II ELM327 adapter connected to your car. 😉 Most of these adapters consume virtually no power when in idle state. However, if you are not going to use your car for an extended period of time, it is recommended to unplug the adapter from the OBD-II port so that this device does not drain too much battery from the vehicle. ⚠️ If you have any further questions we are happy to help, contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com

@@PotenzaDrive thanks!!
Can i listen to music white this ist pluged in?
Hey, yes you can! 👌🎵
Hello,
It’s must be join with aux cable? Can I use bluethooth to join to my infotainment? :)
Hey Zdeněk,
You can use aux cable or bluetooth, depending on your infotainment.
We hope you will enjoy the app! :)
Hi I am about to try this out, but will I be able to connect to OBD adapter and to my radio both via bluetooth at the same time?
Hey C Hash,
Yes! you can use it in parallel. When the audio is transmitted via Bluetooth, some delay is added and depends on the protocol negotiated between the mobile phone and the car radio.
Any extra questions or problems, get in touch via our email, we are happy to help and we hope the experience is good!
Is it compatible with all phones ? Because mine keeps stopping when I click start (it says connection lost), I already connected everything you did. Any suggestions please ?
If you have the Potenza Drive app installed on your smartphone, nothing stops it from working.
Loss of connection can happen due to some factors:
- Very old car OBD-II protocol.
- Weak OBD-II adapter.
- Car with the engine turned off.
- Among others...
But so that we can help you identify the cause of your problem, please write to us and we will help you: support@potenzadrive.com
Hey does your app work with a Advancer AD10 OBD II ELM327? The black circle one?
Hey Elizabeta, we're not sure if your XTOOL Advancer AD10 adapter is compatible with the Potenza Drive app. 🤔
If your OBD-II adapter supports ELM327 commands, it should work with our app.
You can always download our test app, it will tell you if your adapter is compatible.

It doesn't work for me. Can somebody help.. OBD connector is not supported ?? How?
Hey Netas, the reasons can be many. To better understand your problem, contact us, we will try to help you: support@potenzadrive.com
@@PotenzaDrive ok. I will contact you via email.
Can’t wait for the iOS version😭
Me too
When it will be available for ios too?
Hey Palarie, at the moment the Potenza Drive app is only available to Android OS.
We started this project as a hobby with very limited resources. 😢
Unfortunately, we cannot ensure at the moment that this could be released anytime soon, or even released at all. We have plans to bring the app for iOS in the future, but only time will tell if it will see the day light.
Thanks for all your support! ❤️🙏
Hello I just ordered an OBD device, but I ordered the wifi version and not the Bluetooth version, can I still connect it to the car speakers like... I connect the OBD to my phone and with phone Bluetooth or phone AUX, I connect my phone to the car speakers. Is this solution possible or should I be worried it won't work? Thanks for your response in advance.
Hey Mate, unfortunately the OBD-II adapter you purchased will not work with the Potenza Drive app.
An OBD-II adapter with the following specifications is required:
- ELM327 (chip)
- Bluetooth
What are the advantages of a Bluetooth adapter over Wi-Fi?
- It saves 10 times more your smartphone battery.
- When Wi-Fi is turned on, you cannot use the Internet from your smartphone (Mobile Data). Therefore, you cannot use other apps while driving that require Internet access, such as Navigation (GPS) and Music streaming.
Requirements for the Potenza Drive:
1) Smartphone/tablet with Android OS.
2) OBD-II ELM327 (Bluetooth) adapter.
3) Car with AUX cable input (note: if you stream audio via Bluetooth, you will have a sound delay).
If you need further help, please contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com
@@PotenzaDrive thank you for your response :)
@@matelengyel941 you are very welcome, we are happy to help. 😄
Would this work with a diesel engine and which car tune noise is suggested to choose on the app?
The Potenza Drive app works with combustion engines (petrol or diesel). ⛽
You can choose any car sound to your liking. 🎲
Please read our list of requirements:
www.potenzadrive.com/requirements
Hmm interesting 🤔
😍
There are some OBD Sound apps out there and i am always missing one thing: DSG Farts! Will they be in your app? And how many cars are you offering?
Hey, this new DSG/DCT burp trend of bangs and pops is relatively new. It's caused by a fuel igniting in the exhaust, so it's a mechanical phenomenon that is not possible to recreate only through OBD information. However, there is a big chance that this feature may be implemented by us in an upcoming version.
We are launching the app with three different car sounds. We dedicate a lot of time to obtain the most realistic sounds, that no app can match. We prefer quality over quantity, and we believe that a good sound is better than many that sound artificial. However, new sounds will be released soon, so enjoy as the app only costs a few bucks. 😉
@@PotenzaDrive OK. Bought it. Will test it later and will give feedback.
@@tdmgi thank you, we hope you like it!! 😍

@@JungerSchwede09 for me it did not Work Well with my vgate adapter. So i claimed the Money Back.
How come none of these apps support USB FTDI cables?
Hey RetroRepair, the vast majority of apps that use USB are diagnostic apps aimed at a very specific market, such as programming ECUs.
The USB interface was tested by us and did not bring speed or stability benefits over Bluetooth.
In addition, this interface is falling into disuse, it is not practical to connect a USB cable whenever you want to use the Potenza Drive app (or similar) and it drains your smartphone/tablet battery.
Another issue is that many Android devices may require USB driver installation (FTDI Chip or Silicon Labs).
In short, Bluetooth is an interface as fast and stable as USB (if you have a good adapter and fast smartphone/tablet), you don't need cables, and the ELM327 adapters are very cheap.
Good news! We already support USB and Wi-Fi OBD-II adapters, in addition to Bluetooth. 😜
Will this work in a hybrid car??
Hey Ghulam, the Potenza Drive app relies on information coming from an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
When the ICE is operating, you will hear the car sounds.
When the car is running in Electric mode, it will not send information needed to generate car sounds, so no sound will be heard in this mode.
We hope our answer helps you! 😉
is it possible to use without an aux cord? by just via Bluetooth?
Hey BEAST ART, yes it's possible! 👍
BUT! If you play audio through Bluetooth you'll always have a delay of 0.5 to 2 seconds, and also lower audio quality (Bluetooth codecs).
That's why we always recommend AUX cable.
In the description of this video we have a workaround for situations where you have no AUX cable available.
thank you! I got it working and I love hearing v8 sounds in my v6 mustang
Haha (maybe) you don't need the Potenza Drive app! 🙈
But we're so glad you're enjoying it! 🤩
If possible leave us a positive feedback on Google Play to encourage us to create more sounds and features. ❤️
Whenever you need us, we are available at: support@potenzadrive.com
Has the IOS version been made?
Hey exitixs, unfortunately, it is not yet available. 🥺
At the moment, as a very small team, we are working on the Android platform on which we started this project. There is room for improvement every day, and it takes our time. We are aware that you want this for iOS as much as we do. We haven't been able to estimate a release date, but we're working hard to get there! Your support is more than welcome! 😃
Hey, when are you intending to add more sounds?
Hey Sal, we are working on adding new sounds, and we hope to launch very soon!!
Its crashing on my S9+, and losts connection all the time, it works only for a couple of seconds (and then it crashes) I'll try to reinstall my phone, i hope it will work
Hey Hacky982,
Sorry to hear about that. We are still working on the app, and trying to improve the stability each day. So don't give up on us, we promise that we'll end up with the perfect app!! ;)
Thank you to support our work and if you have further questions, please reach us by email: support@potenzadrive.com
Hey!
Got it and really like it 😊
However im facing some sort of input lag or something. When I accelerate, the audio delays for one second. Any solutions??
Hey Max, thank so much for your words mate! 🥰
There are many factors that may lead to audio delay. How can you reduce it? 👀
1) OBD-II protocol: Having a car with the ISO 15765-4 CAN. This protocol is the fastest one and the only one to enable real-time audio. Older protocols are extremely slow in comparison and less reliable.
2) OBD-II adapter: Having an adapter with a good ELM327 chip is required to get timely data from the vehicle's engine.
3) AUX cable: Use it to play real-time audio. If you use Bluetooth you will always have a delay of 0.5 to 2 seconds. Also Bluetooth is known for its poor sound quality (audio codecs from Bluetooth).
4) Android device: It needs to be powerful enough to handle the communication and generate the sounds.
If you need further help to understand more about the audio delay, please contact us: support@potenzadrive.com
If I find my elm327 today I'll buy the app. Can you please consider inserting some jdm cars such as rx-7 ( 4 rotor would be awesome ) and a skyline gtr r-34? Those 2 cars can give a serious eargasm.
Hey Ivo, thank you for the suggestion. 💯
We have plans to add more car sounds. Unfortunately, these cars are very hard to find around here. But who knows what the future might hold. Please note that we already have a Nissan GT-R R35 (check out our latest video) in our vehicle list and we intend to increase it as soon as we get new recordings. And of course... including for jdm. 🔥
@@PotenzaDrive thanks for the answer. I've found out that my kkmoon obd 2 elm327 is not compatible cause it's wifi instead of bluetooth. Too bad.
@@ivomilo6210 thank you for your understanding. And... Oh what sad news! 😜
Unfortunately, the app does no't support Wi-Fi, but Bluetooth. Our goal is to provide the same experience without compromising your smartphone battery.
If you ever manage to get an OBD-II ELM327 Bluetooth adapter (they cost $2-$5), let us know and we hope you have a wonderful experience! 🚀
@@PotenzaDrive by seeing the feedback for your app I'll buy a bluetooth one for sure. My wifi elm327 has created more problems than else. Almost every app searches for a bluetooth protocol. Wifi only few. And once you connect via wifi, goodbye internet 😅
@@ivomilo6210 thank you very much for your kind words!! 💯
Now we are talking! 💪 We are happy that you will be able to experience Potenza Drive. We hope to hear your feedback soon, and if you need our assistance, please feel free to contact us. 😃
Can you guys add EV sounds, like the one in KIA EV6? That sound is cool.
Hey Siong, our focus is on adding vehicles with Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) sounds, but it would certainly be fun to have Electric Vehicle (EV) sounds as well. 🤔💭
Thanks for the suggestion, maybe one day we'll get the recordings of this type of vehicle. 🤗
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at: support@potenzadrive.com
It would be funny to make it sound like like a moto gp super bike

Can you listen to radio at the same time ?
Hey Raoul, you need a car stereo/radio with aux input (recommended) or bluetooth. Then you can use your favourite music player while using the Potenza Drive app.
Is it ok to have an obd2 plugged in ?
Hey Daniel, there's no harm in having an OBD-II ELM327 adapter connected to your car. 😉
Most of these adapters consume virtually no power when in idle state. However, if you are not going to use your car for an extended period of time, it is recommended to unplug the adapter from the OBD-II port so that this device does not drain too much battery from the vehicle. ⚠️

Doesn't work
Hey, we saw your comment on Google Play. Thank you for your feedback.
This is a fresh application still in progress, with a very very small team. We know now that we are having some "incompatibilities" with some OBD-II protocols for some vehicles. There are dozens of them. We are working on it right now!
Let us know your setup: smartphone, vehicle and OBD adapter.
That way we can improve our product and make it work in all cases and for everyone.
