Anyone use Android App Torque?

Kgolf31 · 10-02-2011, 06:17 PM

Hello All,

I came across this app while searching around. Apparently they have a track layout that you can record videos with and have information displayed over (I'm concerned with MPH, Gs, RPM...etc), unlike Trackmaster

Anyways, I'm going to need a OBDII cable...but it needs to be decently long to reach where I place my phone...all the way on the other side of the car.

Any options on what I can get? I'd also like to see if anyone else has this app and what they think about it

Most reviews I've seen complain about the GPS accuracy. They strongly suggest using an external GPS receiver.

You can use a wifi unit like http://www.plxkiwi.com/kiwiwifi/hardware.html or http://www.obdkey.com/wifi/index.asp to solve the cable problem.
