Arrest everyone involved with this and put them on death row.

When you have the funds but no path forward, you buy dumb stuff....
I was addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Well, at a car show this contraption would be a
hit just for the WTF factor,
It would go over well on Halloween right ?

Only if you could change out the audio track for a banshee scream or deathly moaning....

They will probably sell all they can make but I suspect the audio will be disappointing when those that have not thought it through, install it.

Any help would be appreciated…

I CAN’T get the RPM reading through OBD II port using a Bluetooth OBD II Scanner.

Iā€˜m using the Android DragFX or RevHeadz App to play the engine sounds through my speakers.

I CAN get the Android DragFX or RevHeadz App to Bluetooth and play the engine sounds through my speakers but only manually changing the RPM using the App’s RPM slide selector.

I also tested the scan tool I normally use to clear codes on older vehicles and it wouldn’t connect to the OBD II port. I do need to update the scanner on the mfg’s website though.

Inside the truck with the volume set at 15, I’m not joking, it is very realistic feeling and sounding, I definitely want to get this set up with an amp and exterior šŸ”Š speaker(s). I can picture it now idling and gunning it with the stop and go parade during the "Woodward Dream Cruise" next year with all the muscle cars šŸŽ . I will have fun enjoying the reactions of people that both love it or hate it.

By then I will have my 3D printed Blower that I can attach to the hood.

How about dual superchargers on my F250? Twice the power?
