OBD2 Bluetooth (and apps)

[gunbunnysoulja]

Who's using an OBD2 Bluetooth device with phone apps? I'm currently using an ELM327 mini with DashCommand and it's a pretty awesome combination for getting lots of car info/gauges. Also tried Torque and it was just ok.

Are you able to see transmission and differential oil temps?

I am looking into the OBD2 Bluetooth dongle. The information you can retrieve from the ECU is mind boggling. The app is the key since it decides what parameters to pull and display. I have some ideas I am working on for a custom app, and with Ford's OpenXC API I am excited at the possibilities.

It depends on the app, but yes it can give you transmission and differential oil temps, and much much more. Some examples includes steering wheel angle, throttle position, hand brake status, current speed, RPM, gas level, intake manifold air temp, and the list goes on and on.

Did you try free one (Torque) or paid one ? Paid one is _entirely_ different and I think it is really really cool.

I have an OBDLink LX and use several different apps on my Android device to interface. I have not installed it in my Mustang yet. I had it in my last car. I used it mostly to monitor A/F ratio after installing a wide band in my previous car. I needed to because I was boosted. Nice to see the S550 has an A/F built in.

I would really appreciate it if you could tell me any app that would display trans and diff oil temps.

will be using mine for a heads up display, as car will be in kph on the speedo with mph undernearth it, can convert it to mph on the heads up, looks well cool if it works, did work on the S197 so "should" work on the S55o
But would be interested to get an app so can see all the cool info that has been mentioned
