I just got mine today as well, woot! Everything works great so far. Only thing I think is missing is knock sensor and AFR. Anyone have these PIDs on their app, if so how do you set them up?

Guys the app works with the bluetooth on the s7 tablet.its on sale now for 250 at best buy.If you can hold off a month they have a slim version coming out with a capacitive screen for 300.
I will return min in a week and hold off for the slimmer one,but this thing still does the job well for 250.
Im going to take a pic of my setup.I have the tablet on my visor and it looks decent

Since the screen is quite a bit larger, does that mean you can have a page
with more than just 6 guages on it?

I ordered mine on 2/24 and it arrived on 2/26. I ordered from a company claiming it was US, it was $40.
Played with it for a few minutes this morning, good stuff.

I plugged in the scanner, then started the app. Turned on my car, then enabled BT on my phone. Went in to settings on my phone, paired with the BT scanner and then went back to the torque app and everything was connected.
Not sure if that's the "correct" way, but it worked for me.

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.

what dials are you guys running? I set mine all up as data so that you can see the curve for fuel, and all the air temps. I left the default gauges alone as well as the HP and 1/4 mile timing.

As I'm sure you know, you'll want to plug the phone in while you're using it. I played with it for about half an hour unplugged and it drained about 25% of my battery. The Droid X is amazing, but it consumes power like crazy when it's doing anything other than standing by. I bet you cold suck it dry in under 2 hours without trying too hard.

That looks nice Pullejo.
I purchased a universal one in case I get a different droid at some point. It has a vent mount, 3M dash mount, and solid windshield mount. It feels like a well built mount for the price.
