I will be getting the PLX wifi soon, can't wait to put it in:



That torque UI looks pretty kool too, if I had a Droid phone I'd definitely get that.

Just a note - received the ELM327 today and ran it on my way to work with an Android HTC EVO on my '11 STI - looks like it works initially!

I'll report back with more info as i test each parameter to make sure it's reading proper.


ALSO - how's everyone setting up their phones on their screens?? is that using a video out converter to your HU? I'm running an alpine HU, have the hdmi out cable for the evo (will have to see if a composite one is available)



Also, anyone with any luck trying to use a OBD Bluetooth reader with an iphone? (i'm getting rid of the Evo)...

Cool, just ordered mine. If this works decently and have fault codes with freeze frame I could use it as a quicky scan tool at work.

that's the Rev iPhone app w/iphone display output to his in-dash screen i'm guessing - utilizes plx (or similar) wifi obd dongle for transmission
