New OBD II reader. $30

So here's something I found that looks very useful. I have a scan tool but it doesn't do what this does. Check it out. For $30 (which I've paid so far with Bluetooth and App), you can't go wrong.

I'll let you know how it all works when I get the Bluetooth plugin.

keep us updated. i could use this and if it works good ill have to grab it

I have one of these and I pair it with my tablet. Works nice except for the fact if I leave it plugged in and say I go shopping at a store and walk back out and start the truck it'll through a wrench.
I have to turn off the truck, unplug it and then restart the truck and then it runs fine. That's the only problem I get but other then that it works great.

I got it today and plugged it in. I paired it with my nexus 7 tablet. It took a little bit to understand that you actually have to do the downloads with the truck in the off mode. It would not register any of the icons accept for the tack. I set it up ok off the tablet once it was reading it. Pretty straight forward if you know how to program the TORQUE app. I think it will be very worthwhile once I get bugs out of me for working it.
Kind of like a redundant system but the dash board on it is pretty cool with being able to see everything. It even does timing runs in 1/8--1/4 mile and 0-60 runs.
It's definitely worth the $30 you have to give for the app and the Bluetooth plugin.

I bought this about 3 years ago, Torque has gone through many upgrades over the years.. I pair to my phone or my tablet and have just left it in my truck for now. Seems to work and lets you do some great displays on the tablet... But buy the app ofr the 6.00 and that way the guy keeps adding stuff.. Also check for plug ins for your vehicle.. Also note when your setting some stuff up its metric measurements for a few things...

i bought this

and the torque pro app. seems to work well so far. im going to experiment with it for a while and report back
