Torque Pro

I think it is, gives you loads of geek info on engine / performance / car stats. etc ....

For another £3.40 this is the dongle is use http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004KL0I9I/?tag=rsmeg-21

 

None for me but some of the reviews suggest issues....... for 3.40 I guess build and quality control is pretty much non-existent but still worth a punt

 

I have a very similar dongle, the only problem with them is that the refresh rate is that great so if your checking things while driving there can be a delay in what ever you are measuring. I've Seen some at near 150 quid, and those have a much faster refresh/communication rate. But for fault codes etc the cheaper dongle is fine.

 

U need a wifi dongle to use with a iPhone as the Bluetooth ones don't work properly, but they are fine with android I believe

 

It is quiker, not shure if it is worth it. I got a wifi and used it on my iphone on rev app

 

You can't use a WiFi dongle with android unless the phone is routed and likewise you can't use a Bluetooth dongle with an iPhone unless it's been jailbroken.

 

Mmm nope i used it with ios 8.1, no jailbrake

 

A Bluetooth OBD reader? Maybe they have changed something in the latest iOS but Google will confirm my post is (or was) accurate.

 

No a wifi obd reader on ios

 

How long these normally take to come from amazon they quoted upto 4 week delivery

 

I'm sure my one came in a week, all depends on who the seller is tho

 

Ok cool, so is it a accurate way of timing a 0-60 and 0-100 time ?

 

Guys .... I'm not up to date with this stuff! If I've got an android do I download the torque pro app then by a cheap bluetooth dongle?

 

thats what im doing

 

I would take the 0-60 etc with a pinch of salt. The dongle/app is good for looking at basic stuff i.e diagnostics/fault codes and a handful of random stuff boost pressure/water temp etc. i bought the cheapo ebay one and hooked it up to my galaxy s4

 

Well worth the money! I have Torque Pro on my Android headunit screen and connected with a usb dongle. Works a treat

 

Sounds interesting you got a pick? What headunit is it?

 

It's just a Chinese Android 4.1 headunit off eBay. Really pleased with it though, I'll try and remember to go on my pc later and put a pic on for you.

 

Her's a pic as promised.

 

Thats cleaver... I like that. Looks almost GTR style lol

 

Cheers. It is pretty cool. Nice to have the satnav etc on there as well

 

Is the Renault plugin worth the £4? Or is the free lite version enough?

 

Worth it if you get the oil temps to work... Mina never has

 

That's the reason I wanted it.....oh well

 

Ive been using the hh obd bluetooth device, combined with an app called dashcommand for over a year. It can read and delete error codes. And tell u everything u would ever want to know about the engines performance. As for quality it gave the exact figures rs tuning gave me on hp n torq. It has a lot of options for the display if your lookin to sink it to a third screen on your car for show.
