Which app is the best app for the Android?
I want to monitor knock most important. But would like some other cool features.

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

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

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.

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

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
