Anyone else have an Android phone? I found (what appears to be) an awesome app called Torque by Ian Hawkins. It utilizes a wireless ODB2 Bluetooth adapter to connect to the pcm. The info is sent directly to your android phone in real time. Has anyone here attempted to use a Bluetooth adapter with our D's? I really want to try this, but need to buy a wireless adapter first. Here is some info I pulled from the site for those of you who don't have access to the Android Market:

 

I have an OBD scanner for my D. I see OBD used only for as exactly what it was designed for, a tool for diagnostics. All the "real time" data it outputs have a little lag on it, especially for the ******* gauges like on your cluster. If I recall correctly the bluetooth adapters cost somewhere between $50-$100 but I haven't checked recently.

 

I have an OT-2 app for my iPhone and it works awesome and I got a package for $150 that included both the Bluetooth adapter and the app.

Also as for the OBD-II port being nothing but used for Onboard Diagnostics, my SuperChips programmer plugs into the OBD-II port. Wrap your head around that!! LOL :icon cheers:

My SuperChips flashpaq does everything too. Everything from change economy tune to performance tune, to recalibrating speedometer to account for larger tires, to checking a MIL code. All from the OBD-II port.

 

I also have not used this, but have considered it. I felt that I could be buying something better for the money and something that was more accurate. Widow, do those superchips programmers really work? I've considered one of those as well but I didn't know if I wanted to spent that kind of denero on one.

 

Ah yes, the superchips is good stuff to use there. But I was just giving a little heads up on polling live data from the OBD port as I've seen a lot of people disappointed with the lag between the actual gauges on their instrument clusters to the virtaul ones getting data from the port.

Never messed with any high dollar bluetooth adapters though, just various wired ones, so I can't say for sure the expensive wireless adapter won't have any lag in the data polling or not, but I have yet to see an OBD port deliver realtime data as fast as your instrument cluster displays it.

 

Yes the SuperChips is well worth the money. I run a 0-60 now in 7.34 when its in performance mode and get 20 MPG when it's in economy mode.

Granted I have the 5.9 and a hell of a build above stock but it definitely is one of the best things I've bought for the Durango. It also does lots of things like what I stated above and more.

And when all is said and done if you get rid of your Durango, you can replace back to stock and sell it on eBay for $250.

 

Well there are some other things I need to fix before I get that, like my clock spring, I want an exhaust system, Grille guard, Electric fan, and then a tuner.
