Hey yall,
A buddy of mine turned me on to this and I just wanted to share with yall. (if you didnt already know about them). There is an app for smart phones that allows you to connect through bluetooth to your OBD2 port with an adapter. I just ordered the bluetooth adapter for my stang. It shows you all kinds of things such as hp, torque, exhaust temp, air fuel pressure and mixture ect. It also allows you to read engine light codes and clear them all from your smart phone. Seems like a pretty cool toy. Anyone out there using one of these that can give a little feedback?

I picked up a similar deal for my suburban last year. Bought the adaptor from ebay. Its pretty slick. You can data log too.

The name of the app is torque and the adapter is the BAFX ELM 327. Picked it up for 20 bux on amazon.com. I read some reviews tho after I made the purchase and they were saying the adapter did not work on 96-2008 Fords. My stang is a 2010 SO I guess Ill just have to wait till it gets here to see if it works but will report back as soon as I find out for sure! If nothing else atleast maybe it will work on my 05 wrangler.

The man in brown brought the OBD2 adapter yesterday. Plugged right in and turned on no problems. Pretty cool but I dont think the torque and hp meter is quite accurate. Will have to play with it some more but the rest of the stuff works on it just fine.
