It would appear its getting the data from the same source so I dont see why not, and I got a spare android to connect it to. Opinions on such device?
Takes some dialing in, but I think it can be fairly accurate. I never put in enough effort to dial in that accuracy. For instance, the Torque app has a parameter for volumetric efficiency. I don't know what that is, so I went with the defaults.
