As any one tried the blue tooth obd to use with there android phone.
I see there is a app called torque what tell's u bhp torque and boost and is like a code scanner.

Does mpg work on it?

 

[sambryant]

iv not tried it but it does have the function to do it so i would say yes

I've been looking at this over the past couple of months.
Once I get my android back I'll be putting this on there and I I'm going to look at mounting it in my dashboard

I have the free version downloaded ready just brought a obd bluetooth so as soon as it comes will give it a try. The full version does loads more stuff so i might invest in the full version 4 it

LG doesn't do mpg, i did suggest it to Jim.
Might get this just to have a play.

Ive been using this on me MK2 Leon for a while now its preety good occasionally disconnects for no reason tho,think thats the Cheap Ebay adapter playing up tho


Me mate with a MK1 LCR told me his wont measure boost on his LCR,but it does on mine

 

[MarkWales]

hmm anyone using this on a TDI?

 

[AndrewJB]

Me but mines a MK2 2.0TDI

Well i have had the phone brought me. And £16 pound for a obd is not going to brake the bank.
Worth a try as it will work with most cars not just seat.Like the liquid gauge i was going to buy. i have seen a vid on youtube where they have connected it to there stereo to get a bigger screen looks quite good.
