Best £6 I've spent in a long time...
 
As I can't (at the moment) justify buying a full fat version of the Ross-Tech gear that many people seem to use, I bought this little gadget on a recommendation from a friend that works for Halfrauds...

It's an OBDII Bluetooth diagnostic reader. The number of settings and menus to play with is endless

Not played with it enough to look at any fault codes or service lights it might display but it lets you do most things.

Torque is a great wee app, enjoy fella.

Looks good. Is there an iOS version available?

Torque is not available as an iOS app, but there is another simillar app called "Dash Command". it does require a different OBD dongle though, one that connects using Wifi rather than bluetooth.

I have had similar dongle with Torque for several years now and I did pay a bit more for it then. It's a great little gadget and worth every penny but it will only communicate with engine ECU and read generic OBD II codes and data. No connection to other control units and no support for make specific data.
