Well got my obd2 bluetooth adaptor and car mount for my phone in and started installation right away. Got the app for $4.95. Hooked the obd2 up to my ecu, connected my phone to it via bluetooth and there you go! It works perfect!! This thing is amazing! Here are the links to what I got if you all want to do it to. I'll get pics up in a little bit. If you all have any questions feel free to ask.

It's awesome! I have it hooked up to the radio via auxiliary cable to listen to music, charging on the car mount and running torque all at once :D

One question, is there a way to mod the car mount so I don't have to take off the cover on the phone?

Ok I just got to say, Torque is the best thing ever invented automotive wise! :D It's awesome the things it can do! It read rpm, speed, avg mpg, instant mpg, coolant temp, trans temp and so much more! I just named those few because there are so many to choose from. It's cool to because I can play music while using it to. And make phone calls also. Do I recomend it? YES :D

Man that looks cool. I need to upgrade some technology in my life. I don't even have a data package phone.

Sweet, Ive been waiting to hear about this. Glad to see that it works as thought!

I see if you look around on ebay, you can grab all of this stuff for cheaper. Just saying.

I'll take some pics of mine this afternoon. I got a sticky mount and put it under my dash. I hate things in my windshield. Still is pretty nice to have data logging. I thought for sure we would have a PID for the trans temp. There is an idiot light for the trans temp so it must have a sensor I would think.
