Scan guage purchase

Yea the website doesnt say much i think i might just get one, i mean their only 70$.... Thatll be the cheapest thing ive put on my truck lol

 

The cheapest scanauge isn't a scangauge at all... I've posted this in a few places. I use an android app called torque paired via bluetooth to an OBD-II adaptor. It reads more stuff plus it's wireless. Not to mention I got the adaptor and free app for less than 10 bucks

Has anyone tried an OBDII to USB connection to a 'Droid? Bluetooth is nice, but to clear a few codes I don't need the setup hassles.

 

I drive my truck, don't worship it. I need to check codes, clear stuff and get on with it and don't care what it's doing second by second. Thanks, good luck on that anal stuff.

 

knowing your instant and avg mpg can come in very handy and knowing something like the actual engine temp is very useful too. If you don't want a scanguage/ultragauge or whatever fine then don't get one.

 

I actually updated from an original droid to a droid x. Now the first droid in inactive (no updates or anything) and stays in the truck on torque duty and that's its only job. I agree it isn't ideal for your actual phone but I have a spare so it works out well.
