    Default bluetooth code reader

    Just bought an xperia arc android 2.3.3, while looking at car apps noticed a code reader app that works with bluetooth connector into car, anyoone used these looks good.

    I use a blue tooth ELM327 that I keep in the car that I can pair with an app on my phone (TORQUE).

    Seems to work ok.

    I bought it ages ago but was about that price.

    The app does most of the live data but not all.

    It will show boost pressure, inlet temperature etc etc.

    I disabled 'Faster Communication' and that helped.

    If the dials freeze also disable ELM327 auto time.
