OBDII with a Nexus 7 Tablet

If anyone is interested I just found out another great use using my Nexus 7 tablet and my 2008 Tacoma TRD. There is a $4.99 App found in the Playstore in the Google Playstore. This App will give you pretty much anything you need to know from your truck ie.... O2 sensor readings, gas mileage, RPM etc. You can customize the Nexus 7 on its screen too!! I have had so many people peaking into my truck. Thought to share this with the TW!! I can add some pictures of the windshield mount and how it looks in my truck if anyone may be interested. I think it looks cool and does serve a purpose too.

Name of the app would be helpful.
Also what kind of cable is needed to interface?

 

Looks like torque pro. And it looks like you need a blue tooth connector for it. But all the BT connectors I see are over 100 bucks.

 

Pictures. Yes.

 

Ok, the App is indeed called Torque Pro. You can purchase this App in Play store; Google's Site. As for the OBDII you can purchase this on Amazon. I paid about $26. Just type OBD2 into the search field on the Amazon site. You plug the device which is Bluetooth into your 2006 or newer Tacoma on the lower left dash just above your left knee in the driver seat. From their you turn on your Nexus 7 and follow the Torque instructions from their. So, if you already own a Nexus 7 tablet, you can have a really far out, futuristic gauge set up in your truck for under $75. Don't forget to purchase your 7inch windshield holder too. Also found on Amazon for about $30. I also attached a picture for y'all too! Have fun with this new toy!! Email me if you have any more questions.

Necro!

When I install the Bluetooth dongle my dashstarts freaking out, needles moving and lights coming on.

Anyone else experienced this? Also my ultraguage works fine.
