What is the best bluetooth adaptor to purchase.
Daughter bought a new tablet, she gave me her old one, a Samsung Galaxy Note model GT-N8013 with software 4.1.2.
So I just need to order the wireless adaptor and there are many of them available online to pick from.
I would just like to know which one is the absolute best to order that experienced users recommends.
I remember some posting having problems with lockups and poor data feed.
thanks,

can u see outdoor temp on torque pro? how about boost, exhaust gas temp etc? Would it be wise to setup a tablet as a gauge system while driving?

The CRD doesn't have an exhaust gas temp sensor from the factory. You can display boost in Torque and probably outdoor temp too. Not sure how well it would work while driving since CRDs tend to cause OBD II adapters to lock up after 10-15 minutes.

The OBDLink MX does work on a CRD, but like other scan tools they do lock up after 10~15 minutes or whatever (I don't think there's any way around that on a CRD). I haven't used one of the cheap generic Chinese ELM327 clone adapters most people recommend, so I can't say if this has any additional features over the cheap ones on a CRD, but I suspect they work about the same. I will say that ScanTool.net's adapters are the only ones that work with their app, which I do like - IMO it has a nicer interface than Torque. The OBDLink MX also comes with the basic version of their Windows software, though I haven't tried that. I know it also works with their special GM/Ford/Mazda software (sold separately) which would be nice if you own one of those vehicles. I wish they had a Chrysler version.

So I'd say if you're just planning to use it on the CRD, unless you're just trying to avoid cheap Chinese electronics, the OBDLink MX probably doesn't offer much over the generic ELM327 clones for the price. If you plan on using it on other vehicles too, might as well go for it.

No outdoor temp.
Coolant temp and intake air temp.
Plus: fuel rail pressure, boost, rpm, speedo, MAF, and voltage.
And its a good code reader.

I use it while driving sometimes.
Sometimes it works for as long as 45 minutes. Sometimes only 5.

There are lots of cheap tablets available on amazon and ebay in the $50 range.
Just make sure it has android 4.1 or better and Bluetooth.
Don't get a amazon kindle or fire tablet.

Many of the older Samsung tablets are now under $100.

I've got torque running on an Amazon fire tablet. Works fine.

I was wondering about the Fire. Did you have to root it and load Android?

I don’t know if anyone that has gotten the extra PIDs to work.
And certainly not anything transmission related.
I tried the scan. Nothing.

The OBD link times out because of a communication error in the data bus.
Every non-Chrysler ODB tool does this.
Sometimes that error will cause the transmission to suddenly downshift unexpectedly. It’s very startling and jarring when it happens.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no sensor on the engine for engine oil temperature. Heck, even the oil pressure sensor doesn’t actually measure pressure. It’s just a on-off switch for the oil warning light.

The transmission definitely has a oil temp sensor but torquepro seems unable to access any of the transmission sensors. Including trans oil pressure and solenoid actuation.
Someone here does have a tool that scans trans temperature. It was either a Chrysler tool or a high quality clone.

Thanks for the answers Flash,
so far, not really impressed with Torque Pro!
The ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX bluetooth adaptor also came with scanning software called "OBD Link", but it times out even faster than Torque Pro and has fewer PID's.
I guess it has it usefulness for MAF readings, but it sures seems limited.
