hehehe, its a pretty cool device.. I've been playing with it all night.. I bid for it on ebay. and was the only bidder. Its called an elm327 ODBII Bluetooth Interface.. Its displays boost, engine load, acceleration, ambient air temp, barometric pressure, engine coolant temps, engine rpm, fuel level, fuel pressure, fuel trim on all sensors, intake air temp, manifold pressure, Kpl, mass air flow rate, o2 Volts on all sensors, speed from both GPS and the OBD, throttle position, timing advance, and voltage

Torque - Android app on AppBrain
Heres the phone app.

Bluetooth Diagnostic 327 Scannner OBD OBD2 scantool B05 on eBay.ca (item 290540889055 end time 08-Mar-11 22:02:00 EST)
Heres the scanner

that scanner is from the same supplier i got mine from, they shipped for cheap, and very fast, with a free gift (tire valve cover things)

fogot to mention, if you put in your engine displacement/ vehicle weight it will give you proper fuel economy.. it also does 1/4 mile times, 0-60 times and guestimates HP and torque

The droid app is free if you can handle a pop up when you open for the first time saying PLEASE DONATE IF YOU LIKE. then after that its $2.95 if you want to pay.. I have a rooted droid phone anyways so free apps regardless... But this app is fun and very useful... well worth the less then .01cent CAD I spent... You can upload all the data to the net/google earth.... you can set alarms so if something goes wonky it will let you know asap.

I would love to see someone make a post, saying there car runs XX.X on a 1/4 because their phone said so. We had one guy in our 370z group in edmonton that claimed his car was faster then everyone elses cuz his phone said his 0-60 was some low number.

POS that is exactly the same device as the majority of other bluetooth scanners that you pay in upwards of $50.00.... That Hong Kong POS uses the same parameters as every major OBDII scanner.. Has the same blue tooth connectivity as the other bluetooth devices.. but cost me .01cent because I bought it with a generic name on it and directly from the manufacturer from China.. Go ahead and pay more for the SAME thing with a name like ScantoolsTM on it..

They are all ELM327 devices... all work the same way, your choice what you want to pay..

i believe someone with HPTuners can read the code and clear it if you need. Otherwise, "Vato-Zone" will read codes, as long as they are not manufacture specific codes. At least they still do in Texas. Don't see why they wouldn't in all other states.

Yes the app is 50 called dash command. And you can get the same obd2 as he's talking about I believe. Worth the money for codes and clearing codes and doing datalogs
