Phil I am liking those a lot. Very curious to see how they do.

Do tell......

 

Time will tell, they seem to have a good open tread pattern, slightly more open than the cooper discoverer STT, I'm stoked!!

 

OBDII bluetooth adapter and torque app

been wanting to try it for a while. finally remembered to throw one in the Amazon cart

 

Shit I have been viewing that for while for the tablet. Which adapter did you buy?

 

Sweet thanks. I remember you saying you researched the shit out of them.

I've since heard stories of these cheap ones quitting after a few months, but I've also heard of them going good after a couple years so I guess we'll see.

 

Torque app w/a OBDII bluetooth dongle. Works pretty slick and gobs of things you can do for not very much money.

 

Yeah, even tested several of the more popular ones out first-hand. I was impressed with how well it stacked up even to those costing 2-3x more.

That's the one I've had in the Tacoma for a few years now and it works fine. I've had the orange label one that is larger for even longer and it too has worked fine. There are some more expensive ones that advertise more features and options but for the money you can't go wrong with this one.

 

Seems like all the "features and options" would be in the software...
All this does is provide a connection to your OBDII port via bluetooth no?
Can't imagine any possible features

 

I ended up getting a obdlink scanner (gree one) after having the blue one posted. it does refresh much more per minute or second and there was noticeably less lag with the more expensive one

 

Oh yeah I really like my breville juice fountain juicer

 

How did you guys set up your display?

And how do you zero out the pitch and roll?

 

Zero pitch and roll by resetting GPS I think I

 

This is what mine looks like. Iphone engine link

 

I have a cheap samsung tab 8 inch one screen with rpm speedo and Temps the other has pitch and roll, gps, altimeter, I'll screen shot it tomorrow

 

You have a virus Ray

 

On a different note working on my welding and it's getting better.

 

For the most part, yes. I did see one a year or two ago that was like $100ish and it was a lot 'smarter' than these dumb ones that are 1/10th the price. I forget what all it did but there were a few features it offered that were nice but nothing I would say came anywhere near justifying the price. Quicker connection and better performance. It had a few power features that did things like shut it down when the vehicle was shut down or when not in use and stuff like that. I don't recall exactly what the features were but it's nothing you need. It was more a list of stuff I read through and went, 'Yeah, that's a good idea I guess' but not worthy of the price tag at all.

 

Damn you appear to welding some thick shit. Looking good Ray. Hopefully I will pull the trigger on a welder this year. I know I need some practice.
