Android OBDII app(s)

Okay, surfing around today I discover this bluetooth OBDII dongle:
DealExtreme: $53.99 ELM327 Bluetooth OBD-II Wireless Transceiver Dongle


and this app seems fairly popular ($4.66):
Torque - Android app on AppBrain


Anybody try this on a PSD yet??????

I've tried to get responses from different APP's that claim they work. My guess is you will have three parameters you can read. MAP, RPM, & Speed.

You will most likely not be able to read any worthwhile codes.

Good luck on getting an answer from the equipment/app owners.

Yeah, thats what I'm worried about - the equivalent of a cheeeep 'code reader'.

Screw it, for $35 incl. Torque app - I'll play with it. What's that, like 10gals of diesel I'm not gonna burn?

Here's a $30 shipped bt dongle:
BLUETOOTH WIRELESS OBD 2 ODB II OBD2 INTERFACE SCANTOOL: eBay Motors (item 320608422819 end time Nov-23-10 23:23:33 PST)

Let me know how it works out. Always been curios about that one and the OT-2 App for my i-touch.
