I bought an ELM327 USB interface first as well. The software included was good for reading codes, but not logging. Good software for it was about $150.

Then bought a Bluetooth interface to use with the Android Torque app, but it wouldn't connect to the obd2 on my Ford.

Then I bought another BT adapter for $9.99 last month and it would pair with my Archos 101, but not connect with it. AARGH!

That's what I get for trying to "cheap out".

I did figure out how to get the DashDyno to record. It was necessary to create a dyno file and AUTO_REC.sc to get it to record (log) automatically.

The ScanGuage won't log, so it was worth the extra $150 to me.
