Do you guys know if you are able to record live data and view on a pc with this? If so I'm all over it

emoving

Mine took about 10 seconds. I think that is what the CD is for, to download on to your computer.

Zmydust

Ordered, didn't someone say the install cd contained a bunch of malware?

Sweet!!Thanks man. I'm joining the bandwagon

BTW, here is the official website for the Android app http://torque-bhp.com/

The eBay ELM327 bluetooth adapter and Torque SW are not related. You don't need to install anything to get the OBD2 adapter to work. Simply plug it in the port of your car and pair it to your phone. In the free vs of torque you have to then go into the advanced settings and connect it. On the Paid version it just connected fine.

From there, just let it scan for PID's and then setup your gauges and go. Works better than my OT-2. The only drawback is you cannot connect a Wideband like an LM-1 to it like like the OT-2. It records logs fine. You have to email them to yourself in CSV/KML for review. I have it set for everything I need, plus you can have 6 pages of gauges to monitor everything you need. I really recommend it.

more reason to trash this dingleberry and buy my droid 2

My fleabay adapter is on it's way and have the app on my phone. Can't wait to set it up.

randallaguirre

+1 Did you play with the app much yet? I played with it a little last night and this is far and away the most advanced application I have seen. To be hoenst I didnt think the droid could do this much until now. This like a laptop quality app and it's running on my PHONE!!! Plus 1 for droid. Minus one for IPhone.

emoving

Deffinetly, I was on the list to get a new iPhone but I think I am gonna scrap it. The DROID is deffinetly one of the best phones I have owned. I can't wait till my reader get here.

Just ordered the same one guys.He sold 45 so far so I guess ther legit.Not bad for 30 bucks shipped.

yo emoving android is the way to go,Im waiting for the new droid bionic to come out.Tegra 2 dual core ftw!!!

I downloaded the app a long time ago but never got the bluetooth because it was like 150,never really looked into it after that.

The app looks great

What are you guys going to use for mounting and heads up display?

randallaguirre

I gotta tell you, I'm on the fence with mounting it on the dash. I had HUD on my C6 and it was cool but it was also a part of the car's dash. Also after having hud for 2 years I could take it or leave it.
I have three concerns with mounting something to my dash

A) How secure can I really make this mount/mounting? I have the EVO with a double capacity battery and I can just see that thing coming undone and flying through the car. Destroying everything in it's path and the phone.

B) I tend to keep my phones only as long as they are the latest and greatest-they are important to my work-I am an IT Sales Consultant and my customers being able to reach me is EVERYTHING, so Does this mean I'm going to need a new mounting bracket every 8 months as this technology evolves?

C) Seriously, how clean can I make a cell on my dash look? Not to mention how nasty is this mount gonna look when there isnt a phone in it?

Although cool, I'm gonna pass on the HUD feature.

KLR CLS

The Heads up is kind cool, but would not suffice for using any of the performance testing functions. And to randall's point, might go flying somewhere. I was thinking of maybe some good strong velcro tape just behind the Dash Binacle where I wouldn't see it day to day. I have a Scoshe Temporary window mount for my streak that I use for direct mounting.

EMOVING, did your Blutooth adapter come today???? MINE DID!!!!

OK, time to go play for a little bit.

updates to follow......

Just ordered the same adapter as Emoving. How is this working out for you guys?

wsybert

I ordered one yesterday. Seems like a good tool.

emoving

Mine says tomorrow.

AVG is notorious for false positives. Now if ESET Nod32, Kaspersky, Trend Micro, and Symantec all report similar findings, then I may lend some credibility to AVG.

randallaguirre

I didnt even bother to take the little CD out of the sleeve.

I'm only using with Torque on my Android-EVO4G.


AND OH MY GAAAAWWWDDDD IS IT AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A W E S O M E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking about getting the Iphone since it is now on the Verizon network. But those thoughts are now long gone.

emoving

Where is mine!

jmb614

Glad to see it's working well, randall!

If you prefer a little frustration when installing things....Stop reading now, or
if you prefer a little tribal knowledge to make things go smoother keep reading

Thankfully this application will be 95 percent plug-n-play.

Once you've got the Torque app installed and the Blutooth adapter installed you will need to add the OBDII BT device to your phone---same way you would add a headset or anything else bluetooth enabled.

BUT--- IT WILL ONLY READ "PAIRED BUT NOT CONNECTED"

There is one more step will get everything talking together.

Open the Torque application. Once on the main screen, click the phone's "menu" button and a bar with "Settings" and "Quit" will pop up. Don't be a quitter and click settings.
Next, find "Choose Bluetooth Device" and click on it.

Then finally click on "OBDII"

This should save you about 45 mins of scratching your head, cussing, pulling out your hair, and thinking you got a defective Bluetooth device.

This is far and away the coolest 35 bucks I have ever spent.

Are you guys seeing the pids for our cars in the app? I just got the demo and only has some for like a gm.
