Angry Sickest app for android/ car enthusiast! Period!

I dont know if I am behind the curve on this one but this is so awesome! Check out the video on "Torque". That is what the "app" is called (at least on the android market). It has every gauge and even real time graphs you can save for data logging! Definitely ordering this for my phone tonight and will update when I receive it! If its half as cool as the video then for $35 bux what more do you want?!?!

Its the 2nd video down!

I ordered the OBD2 Bluetooth unit for $28 shipped.

I got the OBD2 today in the mail (4 business days )and just went for a test drive around the block and I am really....really surprised how it seems like there is no lag in data. The gauges also show my coolant temp lower on the OBD2 (phone). The gauges keep track of the highest point (any parameter) and there is even an option for mpg average and instant! For $28 + $4.99 for the app (I am using the free app right now). This is the best/ coolest phone app I have seen. I know OBD2 data logging isn't the best and I will be installing a egt/ boost gauge in the future but this is what your truck computer reads and calculates its performance on so its good for me too!! You can pick what you want the program to data log then it updates the information to your profile on the app website.

The app you can get on the market just type in torque (there is a free and paid one)

Ohhhh ok, I was under the impression that the same people who developed the app sold the dongle. Thanks for the link. I think I'll have to grab one of these.
