Tomtop ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII Reader
I bought one of these on the 12th, it finally came today. At first I was skeptical, I plugged it in and couldn't detect it with my phone. It took me 15 minutes to realise that CHX is the device's name. Anyway! Plugged it in, finally paired it after searching around and figuring out that the PIN for the bluetooth pairing is "6789" (which wasn't included fyi), and installed "Torque" on my phone. It's available in the Android market for $4.75 or something but it works practically flawlessly.
Here's the link to the reader I got, and the same selling. It ships from Hong Kong so it takes a while but damn, was the wait worth it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ELM327-OBD2-OBDI...ht_4401wt_1139 With the reader and the app you can see everything including: Boost Intake Temp Throttle % Acceleration MPG/KPL Speedo Tach EVERYTHING. There's a widget option within the program for "raw data" and man, it's an overwhelming amount. Here's a video I took briefly showing what it can do. Ignore the dialogue, that's my add who I was also showing it to at the time: http://youtu.be/Ev1J5ugnG5c So there it is. I am impressed by the device, and wanted to share. Cheerio.
