The android app is called torque.
I do like the ability to record video with your choice of dials displayed. Nice touch. Very handy for fault code reading/reseting too.
Will this work with the ECU in a 98 classic? Alot of the ELM32 Bluetooth adaptors on Ebay say that it works with most petrol cars from 96 onwards but excludes some Subaru's along with other makes!!!!
The Tutorial on YouTube said 2000 onwards so would need to double check mate!
Cheers, I hadn't actually seen the YouTube video so will have a look. I was looking at the info available with the Bluetooth connectors and trying to find out which protocol the 98 used in the ECU.
Guys
Will any bluetooth obd2 work with the iphone and Dash command or does it need to be more specific. Which would be better bluetooth or wifi?
cheers
Only cars made for the USA market after 1996 have odb2 ports what is needed to use this app, cars outside of the USA only got odb2 after 2001, so it won't work on classics.

Yeah, I've looked at several other forums including one specifically for the Torque app and it looks like the classics have the same port in terms of config/pins etc but the protocol the ECU uses is SSM rather than ODB2.
People have used the Bluetooth adaptors and managed to connect to them but it provides no info to the app - just says the ECU isn't responding.
Ah, well - looks like we are stuck with using the diagnostics mode and counting the flashes from the engine management light..............unless there are code readers out there that support SSM.
just to confirm, i have bought a ELM327 Bluetooth adapter from ebay for about £15.
works perfectly with iphone dashcmd on my blob and my c-max

You don't have a link to this product please? I see there are a few on eBay, at least I know yours works so if I buy it from your link I can't go wrong.
