...as charlie sheen says.. WINNING.

found this app called TORQUE. it also pointed to me a $25 fleabay OBD2 bluetooth device. was using the free version but opted to buy the full version for $5.

here a video of it (on a jeep though):

nice thing is that it can pull codes and erase them. unfortunately, i have no codes. anyone out there have codes???? lol...

this is the app's creator install on his car:



fun part is the app can display just about anything your OBD2 will spit out. and the screens are fully configurable.

edit: here's the fleabay device:

the link you posted for the bluetooth device is only compatible with the 05 wrx

 

this is pretty flippin awesome. I was about to ditch my crappy $75 OBDII reader for one of the fancy pants $200+ ones that does realtime + record, think you just saved me 200!

 

hmm any list out there for compatibility by MY?

 

Wonder if it work with this one.

A lot smaller than the cheaper one.

 

Wow thats pretty sweet

 

Well it worked with my 04 STi... I mean I only spent about 10 minutes with it since the free version had wacky screen layouts. I could see the rpm also in sync with the dash.

The boost guage... well I gotta lookup my micro Pascal to psi printout again... lol...

What other info would you want to see on the screen that would be important for you?

 

Ill be ordering one of those! You can do datalogging right?

 

it shouldnt matter, the obd port is the same on all model years afaik

 

List that author has on his page. Note the section about the cheapie fleabag ones...

Note the local company that sells a $99 model...

I bought my fleabay one from a USA vendor. It under $30 with shipping. I wanted it to arrive fast and not have to deal with sending it back to Hong Kong or China.

Also, if you get the ELM one, the pairing code is 6789. That took me while to find out... lol.

And then when paired, you have to go into the torque software and select the device. Once that is done you'll see the app connect, shakehands and then start displaying data...a

 

The android app Torque, does all the data logging...

 

That's an awesome app and a great idea. I'd keep my eye on this company.

 

That's awesome. Thanks for letting us know.

 

yeah, definitely in good competition with the iPhone app that does this.

+ it's BT rather than wifi.
