Android+Bluetooth ODB2 Reader

[eburrows]

All, I have an old Scangauge, which worked great, but didn't read all the codes thrown by my '00 D2.

Yesterday I tried out a new solution: A bluetooth ODB2 interface with the Android 'Torque' app. It works fantastically well! It read and cleared the EVAP code my Scangauge couldn't, does a great HUD mode, as well as trip calculator stuff. Highly recommended, $20 total investment.

Exactly. TorquePro is an awesome application, beats the crap out of all other stuff.

Have the same setup works well with the exception of a few times where I've had to unplug it to get it to reset. I have a RAM mount for my Tab2 in my truck, so I can be all Netjaws like.

I bought a elm327 dongle off ebay for like $10 shipped from HK, and have been using torque pro. The pro version is definitely worth the cost over the free version.

I like that dongle, it is half the size of mine, and a better price to. I may have to get that one.

amazon had it with free shipping and a little better price. I like the size of it compared to the one I have now that I use with Torque. Already placed the order.
