App Description
MyVoltControl is designed specifically for the Chevrolet Volt (and related models), and the Chevrolet Bolt. ("Related models" include the Cadillac ELR, Cadillac CT6, Opel Ampera, Holden Volt, Opel Ampera-e.)
MyVoltControl requires the use of an OBD adapter that complies with the ELM327 specification (most do). You can use either:
- an OBDLink MX+ OBD adapter (preferred)
- an OBDLink MX-WiFi OBD adapter
- a Bluetooth-Low-Energy (aka Bluetooth 4) OBD adapter. (Classic bluetooth adapters are not supported by iOS.)
- a generic WiFi OBD adapter will work in most cases (but is not recommended).
If you need to buy an adapter, or to see a list of some that aren't ELM327 compatible, refer to the information in our FAQ page at http://www.CraftinDeApps.com/FAQ#MVC
These adapters plug into the OBD-II port under the left side of your dash.
The App itself is free. Use of the functions described below requires one-time in-app purchases to enable each one that you want to use.
MyVoltControl consolidates four functions, long available for other phones, and makes them available for the iPhone and iPad. In addition, the last one is unique to this app. These are known as:
-->> MyVoltHold
-->> MyVoltLifetime
-->> MyVoltDiag
-->> MyVoltAfterblow
-->> MyVolt12v
-->> The Volt Hold function does four things.
- First, at the top, it has several "information pages" that you can switch between to see information about your car. These are shown in the photos above.
- Second, it allows you to turn on a "Hold" mode which approximates the Hold mode built into the car beginning with the 2013 model. This Hold mode turns on the internal combustion engine (ICE) as needed to try to maintain a State of Charge value that is close to the charge that was present when you turned the mode on. So why, you may ask, would I want that function on a newer car. Very simple really. Since Sport mode and Hold mode are mutually exclusive, this function allows you to use the car Mode button to engage Sport mode, while using the Hold function in this App to achieve Hold mode at the same time! Hold mode can also be automatically engaged based on several factors.
- Next, it allows you to ask the car to run the internal combustion engine. You can use this to get heat from the engine on a cold morning, or to manually simulate your own Hold mode if you prefer.
- Finally, you can also use this function
