Cheap Bluetooth Dongle!
Tuesday, December 04, 2012 6:29 PM
For anyone looking to use a mobile app like torque for real time data, data logging, and dtc scanning and clearing on their phones, here's a really good deal on the only thing you need to buy to make it work. Just saw it and figured I'd post.
Clicky

how does that SSD help us? lol I think you linked to the wrong item.

And I have iPhone, so I dont think i can use any of those you mentioned. I have dynolicious, but its extremely difficult to actually calibrate, so its rendered useless for me so far.


04 Cav. 2dr. 5spd. My DD. 'Nuff said.

lol, what you're not running an SSD in your car!? Looks like the deal is over unfortunately. Still relatively cheap here though. As for using an iPhone, I heard good things about rev although I've personally never seen it in action.

Rev is ok, but it definitely doesn't compare to Torque IMO...but it is about the best option for iOS...that or Dash Command.

Derek, you need a Wifi adapter for the iPhone, as Rev (and others) won't communicate via bluetooth. I've seen some generic wifi adapters on eBay that are considerable cheaper, though I haven't read anything about their quality. I do however have a generic Bluetooth dongle for my Razr and it works flawlessly. The realtime feed seems just as quick as HPT for monitoring, as long as I'm not overloading it with a ton of PIDs.

I'm using Torque too and love it. Only thing it doesn't do it ABS. Also, I wish I could log more than one thing at a time but for the money you can't beat it. Didn't know the iOS apps need wifi, that's dumb.
