Re: The ELM 327 Bluetooth ODBII Reader
I received my ELM327 yesterday and tested it with Torque Free to see if the ODB reader was working correctly. After pairing and verifying all was a-okay I upgraded to Torque Pro. I was able to connect via bluetooth using Torque's "Faster Bluetooth" setting.
I had intended to do a quick review but I have to delay that. There is so much to Torque to play around with that i know any attempt at reviewing the software would require future corrections from me.
Here is just one quick example why I changed my plan to do the quick review: I noticed one of the icons that surrounds the round RPM gauge on the main screen was cut off at the bottom. My first reaction was to notify the app developer. After playing around with it today I discovered you need to put your finger on one of these icons and rotate it just like you are dialing an old style rotary telephone. When you do there are several more icons for other functions that appear. The effect is very cool.
Suffice it to say I find the gauges to be very responsive with little lag. Perhaps the new 1.5 version has improved throughput. The number of gauge choices are a extensive. It is a very impressive app. To spend $14.89 for the ELM327 and $4.95 for Torque Pro and receive an ODB 2 reader that provides so many options is simply amazing.
