dfc739 said:That's weird/funny, I got my ELM327 dongle yesterday. I got the BAFX one from amazon. I installed Torque lite and really like it so far. The only problem I've had is when I tried to change kilometers to miles and celsius to fahrenheit, it froze and subsequently closed Torque any time I tried to restart it. I uninstalled and reinstalled Torque with no problems (except the metric units). Hey, it's free though so can't complain. The problem might also be my phone. I've read about some problems with Evo 4g phones... I might take it on a longer drive tonight to see how well my thermostat is holding engine temperature.

tblazerdude said:Dashcommand for iphone doesn't list transmission temp according to the site. Does Torque? I want one that shows me Trasmission temp, as well as other things. Scanguage II seems like my only option. stupid iphone.
Matt said:Torque does display trans temp.
Ghost said:It does. I dont know how to use it tho need time to sit and read or watch videos how to use it.
Speaking of which anyone have the gear rpm ratios from 1st to 5th for a 03 tb ext 4.3L ?

Ghost said:Hmm learn something new everyday i didn't know there was no 5th haha
on Torque PRO there is two options for Transmission temp method 1 and method 2 neither work? unless i am supposed to be driving? Another complaint is i cant get MPG to calculate? it just sits saying 02 sensor. disappointing more than likely im not setting it up right
AtlWrk said:Add the GM predefined set.
Settings>Manage extra PIDs/Sensors>(menu)Add predefined set>Pontiac/Gm/Opel/Vauxhall
This will add another 2 trans temp PIDs: GM Method 1 and GM Method 2.
One of those should work.

My new dash! lol Just received my OBD2 Bluetooth adapter yesterday and threw my Tab7+ running torque on the gauge cluster to try it out. Torque is best 5 bucks I've ever spent, wow. I also have a Kiwi Wifi that I use with my iPhone so I have some comparisons to make.
Kiwi Wifi - $150 VS Clone ODB2 BT $19
Other than the method of connection I see no difference in up date rate. The Kiwi has a cable to the dongle which is annoying but it does have an on/off switch which is nice. The BT is low profile, forget its there, but no off switch so it has to be removed when not in use.
Torque ($5) VS REV ($40)
Price is obvious. Initial startup, REV is easier to use for the first couple minutes until you find your way around Torque. REV is customizable but very limited. Torque will pretty much let you customize every aspect, look & feel to adding custom PID's. After using REV for a year I am amazed at how limited it is compared to Torque.
For anyone that's interested here's the BT OBD2 adapter I bought, no issues. I buy a lot of stuff from DX.com and have never had a problem.

FYI - there will be a Kiwi Wifi for sale on Ebay before the week is over
