MDash is available free of charge in Google Play store and works only with Bluetooth equipped MaxxECU units.
Note: MaxxECU MINI/STREET does not have bluetooth connectivity and MDash can ONLY communicate over bluetooth, which means MINI and STREET will NOT work with MDash.
Android version
The MDash android app works on all Android devices with Android 5.0 (API level 21) and newer. We recommend Android 12 and newer for best performance.
Developed using the Lenovo TAB4 (TB-8504X) and Samsung Galaxy A9, tested and verified on Google Nexus 7 GEN2 and Lenovo TAB 3 (TB3-710F).
Note: MDash uses a lot of battery, please make sure to have your charger always connected.
