Torque is running smoothly on my tablet, using the $13.00 eBay ELM327 adapter.

My passcode was "1234" but I think the crucial thing is to enter the code in the first 60 seconds of activation. I'll have to tr other codes. I suspect they will all work.

Apparently, the MAC address of all the knockoff ELM327 senders are the same, so there is some difficulty in running several bluetooth adapters at once.

I'm powering the tablet from the car, so I'm not worrying about battery life.

Torque is still being actively developed. One cute trick it has is to shut off bluetooth if the app is closed. Also, if the ODB sender is inactive, it only polls once a minute.
