New toy

So, I got a new toy for my car. I got one of the ebay bluetooth OBD II adapters for like $40 (can get them cheaper, but I chose the one that came with a cable to mount elsewhere) and the Torque app for my Android phone ($5). For those that don't know, it works with most/all bluetooth adapters so that you can monitor anything that your ECM keeps track of and turns it into any type of gauge you want. Works really nice, but there is a little time delay. To mount it, I am using a Clingo vent mount phone holder. This thing is sweet! The backing is adhesive, and you just press your phone against it, and it stays! It also easily removes. They make a few variations of it too. You can buy it at Office Depot. The only thing is that I am going to have to wire in a power supply for the phone because the app uses a lot of juice from your phone, and will drain it quickly.

That looks nice I wish they had something like that for the iPhone that didn't cost alot. None of the eBay Bluetooth adapters work with to my knowledge, and no torque app. So yeah I am jealous.

looks nice and handy

ive got the innovate motorsports logworks app but the bluetooth box is pricy but getting cheaper on line i want one!!

Nice, Ive got one and I use the Torque app too. my connector was like $100 tho. Bought a name brand one instead. I love that thing

Yeah, I guess the information flow on mine isn't as fast as the pricy ones, but for you $40 you can't beat it.

thats pretty cool! too bad i have a dumb phone...

looks sweet. id rock it in the rabbit cuz racecar.

My kids officially support my Clingo mod. They get to watch full episodes of DBZ in the car now.

^^lol sweet

I had snow in side my wheels from playing around last night. I forgot to clean it out and my car shook like a bitch going into work this morning. The Clingo got a work out, but it held.
