Torque Pro users? Looking for feedback

[Wurf]

I plan to try Torque Pro and use a wireless OBD2 transmitter with it as a monitoring tool utilizing my Android phone.
Anybody have some feedback on the transmitters and the app?
What you bought, how it's worked for you, experiences good and bad etc.
I'm looking at these Chinese ELM 327 units and going by the recommendation from the Torque Pro site.

TIA

I'm using the USB cable version of OBDLink. This is a step up from ELM 327 and is also available as a wireless option. My limited understanding however, is that there will be some latency or delay issues and some slower capture rate with wireless or bluetooth type transmitters.

Is this with Torque Pro? Curious if I can hook a USB cable to the phone from the OBDLink box and have Torque read it.

the delay for bluetooth is pretty bad, but in general you get a good idea of whats going on and i love the app

delay is not as bad as people say....
i have it and i like it...

datalogging doesnt work too good..
and besides, a bluetooth way of checking for codes is awesome!

Wiki page says bluetooth only so that's it I guess.
My main concerns are the KR, FP, codes, boost, and critical parameters so I know the motor is not being leaned out or knocking.
Mostly I want to keep an eye on the fuel pressure since all I'm going to run with it is the Injen CAI.
Any opinions on the OBD2 adapters? What did you guys buy, and where did you buy it?
Please post links if you have any for me.

Thanks

I bought this about 6 months ago from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com (commissions earned)

It's a bit more expensive than the others, but I tried a cheap generic one before putting the money down on this. Unlike the cheaper ones, it supports the fast data transfer function and has given me zero connection issues.

It also fits quite nicely into the small cubby below the diagnostic port, where as some of the other designs without cables stick out pretty far.

Torque is awesome, I love the track recorder plugin. Also if you do a search for Mazdaspeed in the market, some guy put together a Torque plugin for some extra PID's that Mazda supports.

Sorry, no. OBDlink, made by scantools, IIRC, is a USB interface to a laptop. There is a bluetooth and a wi-fi version, but those interfaces are (1) pretty expensive and (2) will be laggy and have low resolution (low capture rate).

I would think you should go by what Torque Pro recommends. I think there are some Torque Pro users and some threads about it over on the MSF website.
