Above are the ones I'm considering. I've got an iPhone and quite like the idea of a bluetooth one but not sure whether that would work? If so can you recommend an app?

If not the bluetooth option then I'm not sure whether to go for the more expensive reader that shows live data. Just want to keep an eye on things every so often. Don't want any expensive rebuilds!

Thanks.

 

I got one of these new for £40ish from fleabay

Works a treat even logs loads of parameters and shows live data graphs etc. Has read and reset all codes I have had no problems so far.

 

Bluetooth version ( ELM327 ) with "Torque" app works great. The ELM327 is only about £20 on ebay

 

That's a great price, from Hong Kong/China?

Thanks. Android only though I assume and I have iPhone?

 

Anyone else tried this? I have installed Torque and bought a Bluetooth OBD2 Dongle, but it doesnt appear to work. I would be interested to know if anyone else has tried it and hasnt/has experienced any issues. Thanks, Rob

 

I borrowed one and downloaded the Torque software on my HTC took a bit of messing to synch but worked a treat, been meaning to get one, might put it on my list to santa..... although the mrs isnt to hot on ebay lol

 

This is the one i used

What issues did you have with the sync?

I cant get this one to sync

Rob

Thats the same one I bought

 

Hello mate i've got the torque app and a cheap £14 bluetooth sender off ebay working on my galaxy ace, works perfect there are some bits that have no data like oil temp but loads of stuff that work like air fuel ratio, water temp, intake press and temp, boost etc etc

 

IIRC I had to turn my phone off and back on then turn the blootooth back on and search a couple of times until my phone found the device

 

Cheers for the replies guys, I'll have one last play before giving up!

Rob
