Hey everyone, wanted to share this. A friend of mine picked one of these up a while back and showed it to me. I ordered one and just got it in the mail yesterday.
ELM327 v1.5 Bluetooth Super Mini OBD2 CAN Scanner Adapter Tool TORQUE ANDROID | eBay
Torque App web site - Torque — OBD2 Performance and Diagnostics for your Vehicle
It seems to work really well. You plug it into the obd2 port, connect your phone just like you would to any other bluetooth device, download the Torque app (i currently have the free version) and your off.
This allows you to read trouble codes and clear them, as well as do live data streaming. You can customize the screens to whatever displays you want. The app is laid out like an android OS, you have 5 screens to scroll through that you can set up as you wish.
I like the digital displays, they are easy to read at a glance, but you can also do analog gauges. I have intake temp, coolant temp, boost, o2 sensor voltage, fuel trim, and more displayed. Also, you can display a graph of a particular sensors readings over time, and i believe you can data log those but I haven't played with that yet.
Its a really cheap way to get a lot of information out of the car, especially compared to what some similar units cost that do basically the same thing.
