Default Torque/OBD2 bluetooth adapter?

Anyone tried this on their EVO? I just ordered up a bluetooth adapter from ebay for $20. Wondering if it works or if I wasted my money. Supposed to be able to read dtc's and clear them if the cel light is on. If you have tried it let new know your experience. Include what bluetooth adapter you used and what kind if car you were working on.

thanks in advanced.

I personally haven't tried it, but if its bluetooth compatible [which the evo is] it should work. Sometimes I use my laptop as my evo "speakers" when I'm bored.

The difference between the strong and weak willed is that the weak traverse with wounds covered up and hide when attacked, while the strong stride on with open hands and tears. Wounds bared open, and will continue to go on, even when broken at their core

Well I'm just saying the device should be able to read the internal flags of the system [if led is on ect], and do all the fancy things it should, so I think you're all set. As far as the "headset" goes:

1. Turn on bluetooth on both devices, make sure both are discoverable
2. On the phone, scan devices, it should find your computer, and click pair, it'll show you a code, right it down just in case it doesn't fall through in the next step
3. Wait about 30 seconds and you should get a notification of a device trying to connect to your computer, click it, and it should have the same pairing code, click okay and you should be done

Now, on the phone, start playing music, and it should say "playing through blue tooth headset"

I just got mines in the mail 2 days ago. I plan to play around with it today after I get out of class. I own a 96 Accord and a 07 Altima that I will be testing it on. The OBDII BT sensor I have came with a mini disc.

Let me know how it works out for you! I am excited to get mine in the mail to test but I just ordered 2 days ago. 10-21 days for shipping from china. Hope I didn't get ripped off.

I am using http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product and it works really well with Torque. Torque does keep telling that it isnt recieving data properly sometimes when looking in the settings but I havn't noticed any issues. I love it. Used it to figure out my MPG at different speeds

I'm using this $20 adapter with Torque. Worked so well that I had to buy another. My friend kept my first one.

Torque is excellent. It does everything I need. It will clear the codes and will show the readiness indicators so you can know when it's ready to go in for your emissions check.

I have an 07 Legacy GT with a Cobb AP. I have been thinking of diving into this arena so I will be following this closely.
Samsung GS3 ← Evo 3D ← Evo 4G ← Nexus One ← MyTouch ← G1 ← HTC TyTN
