I have one, combined with my REV app on the iPhone... Amazing data!! only down part was REV's steep price, but not bad though. Keep an eye on which one you buy fellas, IPhone you need to have the WIFI ODBII reader.

Correct, the connector and app are something like double the price. You must make sure the OBDII connector says what it is compatible with; they are not interchangeable!

Once I got mine working and properly set up, I really like it. Best part is the code searching part, I think. Mine told me why my o/d isn't working and probably the lockup torque converter, too. Low atf level.

For a little more than $16, this is just an amazing tool and the Torque app couldn't be much better (for my uses, anyhow.)

The documentation was pretty sketchy, tho. Luckily, the Ebay seller was right on top of getting back to me.

I'm not any expert, but I suspect the blue point will have higher capability (in some way). Else, yup, let the tears roll and sell it.

I had just purchased a $90 scanner before I found the Bluetooth ones at a gmt forum. I figure I have a backup in case the Bluetooth goes out........ another tool probably never used

Good luck!

Not to steal the thread but I put an ultraguage in my truck and I love it for the price( 72.00 shipped) Shows instant/avg mpg(not like the factory overhead) bunch of programmable options like alarms and the ability to check codes with it. Supports like 70 some gauges depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

I set mine up today on my 03 and added some dials to the display but I didn't see one for oil pressure. Am I missing it? I have checked the list several times. It does work pretty good and mine paired w/6789.

Is anyone else having a problem with keeping it connected? Mine connects but then after about half an hour of driving it disconnects and then cannot reestablish a connection

You may need to trade yours in and try another. I know the cheapest ones are hit/miss for quality.
