Good luck, let us know how it works!

I use a wifi adapter with torque since my elcheapo tablet doesn't have bluetooth. Lag really isn't an issue.

I have the OBDLink MX bluetooth and it works very well with Torque Pro. My only issue was not being able to read transmission temperature, but that is because the ZF6 on my 2000 does not come with a sensor.

I would suggest amazon, newegg, or we have a local computer store here in Cincy (microcenter) that has some killer deals at times...

I strategically located my tablet out of the way, but within easy reach - plus the gauges are compatible with my ISSPRO EV2s in size, layout, and color from the perspective of my driving eyes.

Thats my cooler spot... these 3 to 14 hours drives you have to have refreshments readily available for the driver...

I have the $23 BAFX products OBDII Bluetooth adapter from Amazon, with Torque Pro on my Adroid phone and it works fine on my 95, my 97, and my 01.

I do get the same error message that warns about incompatible interfaces, but just hit OK, and it still works.

When I change screens on Torque, like the "Fault Codes" or "Adapter Status" screen, sometimes the engine will shut off, no problem just exit that screen and re-start engine.

I use the big digital displays, and can fit InjPW, HPOP, IPR, EOT, EBP, and MAP gauges. (Don't forget to enable the Ford PSD PIDs on Torque) Turn the brightness up on the phone, and I can see them fine while driving. $30 for the app and the OBDII adapter, for those on a budget.

Nonetheless, I am looking to get Tugly's setup, which is the OBDLink MX Bluetooth adapter and the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet, should be way beter than using the phone.

Torque Pro works great. The weak link is how cheap you want to go on the OBDII Bluetooth adapter. Cheap ones have terrible bandwidth and do not transmit fast enough or have terrible connectivity. I did not buy the PLX Kiwi "computer" version but I did buy the PLX KIWI OBDII Bluetooth transmitter a couple of years ago and it's been a champ. I think they're on the KIWI 2 now. I spent just under $100 back in the day for it (on Amazon). Top price when this boom started but it's been well worth the investment. I have an old cell phone (nothing as cool as Tugly) mounted on my windshield and 7 pages of meters, gages and information at the flick of a finger. I would hazard that I've got 40+ indications active (about 7 or 8 on some individual pages) and they respond smoothly without a jump or hiccup. The Torque Pro app is a steal at $5 considering what it can do. At any one time I've probably got about $1000 worth of gages to look at. As long as you get a good OBDII Bluetooth you won't be disappointed.

Just my .02
