Is anyone using the Torque App? I just found out about it yesterday and I am going to give it a shot. For those of you who don't know what it is, it is an app for a smart phone that acts as a OBD Diagnostic tool/GPS/Guage Cluster/Realtime datalogger/performace meter. It can give realtime info on things like EGT,Oil/Coolant Temp, Trans Temp, 0-60, 1/4 mile, boost pressure,hp/tq, MPG, etc, all on a customizeable display. It even has a Heads up display mode so you can use it on your windshield at night. The app costs $5 and requires a $20 Bluetooth ODB Reader but it looks way cool.Here is the OBDII adapter I just ordered:
Bluetooth OBDII Interface
Here is a link to a YouTube Video of it in action. I'll Let you know how it works when mine comes in.

Looks like a sweet app. Hoping it becomes available for iPhone. Right now the closest iPhone app to Torque App appears to be DashCommand for $50.
Let us know how you like it.

Let us know how you like it. The iPhone app store reviews show a lot of problems. Hopefully the Droid developer was more thorough.

Don't forget about us and report back  Looks very interesting. Only draw back would be droid screen size is pretty small to view while driving.

I have the Droid app and dongle set-up just so I can read codes and do a reset if needed. I ordered the dongle on E-Bay.
