I found their TruckerNet app more useful since I don't own a Cascadia which is the current app's focus. Maybe it's just a token attempt at putting an app out. I'm not sure how DTNA is trying to position this product. I hope it can address some of the items I listed above.īy the way, I wouldn't think 46 fault codes is a positive selling point. I gave the app an additional star because DTNA continues to update the app. There isn't any real time information like oil pressure, turbo boost pressure or fuel economy. Information about the truck is only available as a snapshot. Manuals are only available for the Cascadia. The Maintenance schedule is not available for my truck. Vehicle guides are only available for Cascadias. Not so much for my truck and it is still very focused on the Cascadia. I saw DTNA updated the app so I bought a Blue-Link Mini with the hope that it would be useful.
