The full story
Rob FilmedIt, who has no coding background, asked Claude to build an OBD2 app for a 2001 BMW E46 330Ci with the MS43 engine computer. It shows live gauges, reads fault codes, saves logs and has a virtual dyno that estimates horsepower, talking to the car through a Vgate iCar Pro adapter.
The video shows the app's first real test on the car. The maker stresses that the virtual dyno is an estimate, not a substitute for a real one, and is asking viewers whether to put it on the Play Store.
