You can find an android device from $10 - $700. Anyone can run torque.
The dongle thing is about $10.
The app is $5
Also many many other OBD2 apps for free.
Torque is nice and all but then you have to worry about heat from the sun melting the phone.
If you power the device on and off you have to wait for a GPS lock.
If you have wifi or 3G its no big deal but if you are out in the sticks overnight and turn it on it takes a long long time to lock GPS and it is needed for many gauges.
Torque never liked me turning the engine off. even at a red light and back on it wouldn't reconnect properly and stop working. only good if the engine is on
Like most people I have android devices already and it works really well.
What it does that a scangauge doesn't do
GPS speed
pitch and roll of vehicle
compass
dash cam with obd2 info over video
live traffic
route planning
you can set a max value on any gauge and have an alarm sound when it happens.
set shift lights
make custom themes
export massive data to google earth, to excell files
with graphs ect.
many many gauges at once with many pages. you can see everything the car is doing with a few swipes left or right.
What a scangauge does torque doesn't do
Works without user input when you get in and drive the car.
Torque needs bluetooth reset or something. every time something..........
That is worth the $160 for the SG2
