I came across this a while ago, I always thought it looked cool.
I just ran across it today on YouTube again.
Let us know how it works in real life. Those videos never tell you anything.
ENJOY!

For you gadget people I've been waiting for this to arrive for 14 days and finally got it(came from China)! Its a elm 327 Bluetooth obd2 "dongle", what it does is plug into your obd2 port and its completely wireless. So you plug it in and download the app called torque to your android phone,tablet,iPad,even laptop with Bluetooth capabilities and Torque connects your phone with your vehicles computer lets you see EVERYTHING going on, even check and erase codes. Displays everything from incoming air temp to trans temp...o2 sensor live readings graphed out in real time...uses your phones GPS with your vehicles computer to give accurate mpg avg or instant...and tons more. You can save settings (weight,displacement,liters,etc) for multiple vehicles when you switch rides for the day you just plug in and go and watch realtime readings. check it out on YouTube.. just type Torque app in the search bar. |

The more I play with it the more cool stuff I find. It also displays pitch and roll meters with a picture of a SUV/jeep/truck and degrees. |

I've had the Torque Pro app running on my Android phone for about 7 months now. Works very well and even helped me diagnose a check engine light problem. The investment paid off when I fixed the issued myself and saved €€€€ by not taking it to the stealership. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2qIRu5M ... ature=plcp |

I ordered one too, $13.95 with free shipping on eBay. I would be surprised if it can actually communicate with other modules like abs or tcm using torque or the included program. |
