steeleshark2 · 10-07-2011, 10:44 PM

GQ4Life · 10-07-2011, 11:07 PM

I got a similar OBD2 bluetooth device, not one of the "recommended" brands by the developer of the app, but it works just fine.

I (as well as many others) use "Torque" - $5 on the droid market, it monitors many many things. Dont ask about AFR tho... thats still under discussion

steeleshark2 · 10-08-2011, 04:36 PM

I got this one and it was shipped from within the US so only took a few days for delivery. WORKS perfect with the Torque app.

I just ordered it. Says it will be here the 14th or 15th. Hopefully it gets here way sooner..
Then I will get Torque and see what works and what doesnt.

I was trying the HUD today and I dont think gauges looks clear enough was double image a lil.. Tried using better display and then phone close to windshield and it worked a lot better.. but think only good to display like one thing.. Like Knock or shift light

craigk777 · 10-08-2011, 09:29 PM

I saw that in the description it stated: NOT compatible with all Android Apps such as Torque! Not sure if you planned on using Torque or not.

I did not see that.. I spoke to people using elm327 with torque saying it work.
Already ordered if doesnt work.. I will see if any other apps that are good.. or just return
Thanks for noticing that.. I totally missed it

craigk777 · 10-08-2011, 09:59 PM

grocerygetter · 10-09-2011, 12:59 AM

Yeah...I ordered a kiwi Bluetooth and boost sensor so I could send to my iPod touch.

steeleshark2 · 10-09-2011, 05:25 PM

Gotcha!! I think you will get more use out of this then you plan.

GQ4Life · 10-10-2011, 08:11 AM

Seller held order cuz I emailed asking about that. He contact supplier and their ELM327 supplier said they dont work with Torque. Told him to ship it. For $23 and you saying it works I'll take the chance then spend $99 on other one. Told him I will let him know if it works so he can let future customers know

You have to remember this is Chinese. They probably did not know what Torque was so they said no. I messaged the seller and let him know last night. You will be good to go as long as there is no defect with the gadget. You can google elm327 and torque to see a lot of people running it. there are also some videos on youtube.

HailDamage · 10-13-2011, 01:24 PM

I have an ELM327 and use Torque as well, no problems.

Sweet thanks.. Cant wait to get it and check it out..
I am going to datalog with SCT then run torque and see if result the same (KR, Advance Timing)..

NME · 10-14-2011, 11:39 AM

If you read up on O2 sensor voltage, you can monitor AFR via voltage (.88 - .91 is good?). Not nearly as accurate as a wideband but... I made a pid for 0114 being (A/200)*1000 wich would output millivolts... something to keep an eye on I gues...

TStko · 12-22-2011, 11:29 AM

Just checking in to make sure everyone is having success with these which ones on ebay can be ordered for under $30 in the US that will work with Torque. Planning to install an Android stereo to get this info right over the radio.
