fit gauges, or use the torque pro app?
 
as above really, should I fit a set of gauges (boost, oil pressure , oil temp)

of spend £100 on the obdkey for jdm cars and use my tab 3 10.1 as the display?

dash command is a good app too

Be careful before using dash command,it doesn't work with my car but works with my friends WRX. Palmer performance tried to help getting it working but they've drawn a blank with mine.

Does this work on a classic?

kirky1 10 August 2014 03:25 PM

mine wouldnt work to begin with, then i found that if i plugged the elm bluetooth odb2 thing in when the engine was already running it would connect

You can't really beat a good set of gauges for a nice visual impact.

It's a good app, but it's a little slow on my iphone 5

i have torque and dash command and both are pretty good but i wouldnt be without a proper set of gauges for proper reference as both apps can be a bit laggy with readings.

the normal obd adapter will not work on my car, I will need a obdkey version at just over £100 as they are the only ones that I can find that will work with the subaru ssm on the car

Can I ask is this a joke about apps for gagges .
I looked up dash command . Yep not sure it or how it would work . Is there other apps like that .

Oil temp and pressure wont work through any obd apps as the ecu doesnt see these or even have sensors as standard for it.
Guages is what you need

Jayjay100 11 August 2014 09:12 PM

That what I would say as well fit the real thing . They are not that hard to do .

^^^^ this

no oil temp on Torque Pro , though you get boost , coolant temp etc. Get at least an oil temp gauge fitted and use the App for everything else.

by the sounds of it, a set of gauges will be first on the list.

for later on, will the torque app be able to on on a head unit like this?

no , it would need to be an "app radio" not just a DVD player.
