OBD II scan tool for iPad etc?

[chicane]

I use this BT link device (mainly because of it's PID update rate and encrypted BT connection) and have a few Android apps that interface with a Nexus 7 tablet that I picked up. I have used this combination in multiple vehicles... I just unplug one and plug it into another. The only thing with that is if you want the expanded PID reading for specific manufacturers (Ford, GM, etc) it will run about $10 for each. Not a deal breaker... but none the less.

The software is going to be device specific... but I think out of all the apps I use... they all interface with Apple products and are available in both the Android market and the Apple store.

The Dash Command app has the best accelerometer interface:


And I have found that "Torque" has unlimited 'themes' to display the monitored information. I find myself using the "Racing Meter" theme the most for just driving around and monitoring the available PIDs.

Tommy! Good to hear from you.

I use similar tech. Dash Commander has a ton of functionality and is pretty reasonably priced.

Slightly off topic, but I'm using the Torque app (pro version) with PLX bluetooth adapter, and I can't get Torque app to display the A/F ratio or fuel pressure. I got the plugins that pull the latest PID for GM.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks.
