It is really nice. I sometimes prefer this over the shops OTC Genisys. It does NOT do function testing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 yeah I use the ELM 327 Mini bluetooth obd reader and the Torque Pro for Android there's not a whole lot that is available to monitor from these motors but it does give you some info that you need, as well as the ability to read and clear CEL codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal71919 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I spent about $12 on my adapter and also use Torque Pro. Very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel2wd Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 what kind of readout does it give you? do you use the free version of torque or the paid one? paid supposedly has more features. does it actually read fuel trims or are our cars too "old" and "simple" for that?

twisty Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 i use the paid version of torque and a 12 dollar module as well but havent really gotten into the extra features yet. i use it on a ton of different cars at my friends shop tho, its much quicker than breaking out the full scanner for quick diagnostics and code checks.
