sweet thanx matty and co :)

guess its goin on full time now then..

only thing ill prob do is shut down the app on the fone so its not trying to connect to device all the time..

and its close enough to the shed to possibly connect whilst car is off if it omits a strong enough signal..

For those not keen on unclipping the obd2 plug from the fuse box, I think this extension cable with a shallow mount plug may be the answer.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBD2-Male-to-Female-Extension-Cable-Diagnostic-tool-for-Auto16-Pin-100cm-/301214823061?pt=US_Adapters&hash=item4621cd7295

Its 1m long, shorter and longer ones are available. Plug the cable into the obd2 port and run the cable across under the dash to hang out below the stereo in the tissue box holder.

This way you can plug and unplug as you want, without battling with that blardy fuse cover! Be carefull not to chuck anything metallic into the area with it to avoid shorting anything important! ( female plug so unlikely ) - perhaps a plastic cap of some sort would help here. Just a thought anyway.

Mine arrived today... Going to test it out on the old mans car later on as mine is still being worked on.

Anyone interested in a size reference here it is next to 20c.

Well I have Torque pro and I have gone to the "real-time information" page.

I have painstakingly moved all the default icons on the default page and moved them to the last page.

I then added my own display and added a half dial(meter) icon.

From the list that was shown I chose options similar to what I had in the free version of torque.

Here is a picture of what I have setup now.

I know I have oil temp twice, but I have since updated what was shown after the screenshot was taken.

That being said, I have the Revs, boost, intake temp, load and coolant temp working and registering a value.

I am having issues getting the oil temp and power at the wheels registering.

Have any of you got this to work.

Can some of you take some more screenshots of what you are watching?

ahh but I am pretty sure that a custom PID can be entered.

I see that I am going to have to do some digging around. I am positive that this can be done.
