Default Has anyone used this android app with the Z?

I was searching the market place last night with my HTC Evo and found this cool app. its called "Torque" I just ordered the Wireless bluetooth OBD2 adapter, they state that it works for nissan. I was wondering if anyone on here has tried this yet. check it out.

Honestly, Did you really 'watch' the videos?

Looks promising.

It would be as accurate as any factory sensor that you can access over the can-bus.

pretty neat, i have been thinking about getting the bluetooth obd2 connector, let us know how it works!

nvm, didnt watch the videos, till now. I thought it tells how much torque you actually have, the only thing it tells you is boost psi and speedometer.....

I have the app and the cheapo ebay bluetooth adapter.

It works ok, certain parameters don't work, like ignition timing off the top of my head. I've used it to check and clear multiple friend's CEL lights on things like 99 honda accord, 2002 Nissan Frontier, 2000 Celica GTS.

for the $5 it costs and $30 bluetooth adapter i think it was a great buy even if it doesn't work 100% on all vehicles.

Just ordered the Generic bluetooth adapter from ebay, and the full version of Torque. I think it'll be a nice tool to clear codes and check for issues. I like that is logs so that is a major plus!

Torque works great. The refresh rate isn't great, maybe once a second, but it suffices. It very well could be my cheap OBDII adapter.

I mostly use it to track GPS locations and upload that to use in Google Earth. When driving, I normally monitor HP, rpm, and a graph of speed.

If you have any specific questions, I can try to answer.

Obviously you didn't watch the first video. Coolant temp, rpms, throttle, speedo, fuel, timing etc.
