While I haven't tried others, I live in an electronic world (since the '70s) and can spot crap a mile away. Those $10 and $20 clones from the opposite side of the world scream out for toilet paper. I bought the OBDLink MX BT and have been very pleased with the performance. I will eventually get the WiFi version and have one unit for each vehicle.

ICP, IPR, FIPW, Boost, EBP, and EOT on one screen. Flip the page and I have the transmission stuff - TC slip, Gear, TFT, and RPM. I can add more... I'm thinking of putting in MFD when I get the right formula for that.

I do plan on following your lead when the time comes and get the OBDLink MX WiFi and a cheap tablet. Actually I am hoping I can get my 6 yr olds hand me down tablet since she has been bugging me for a new one. I might even need her to set it up for me since I am clueless when it comes to tech stuff. Pretty sad that a 6 yr old knows more about tablet's, apps and smart phones then my old butt.

I have the adapter ordered. As soon as it comes in I will give it a trial run on my android phone. If I am satisfied with it, I'm sure I will, then I will order a tablet for the truck and a setup like Tugly's. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions about Torque Pro after I get everything set up. Does anyone have a link for a thread specific for Torque Pro?
Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks Brother !! 
Lord only knows I need the help. LOL
I was going to get the GS 3in1 first but for the same money I can get Torque Pro up and running.
I do prefer to wait until I can afford the OBDLink MX WiFi since it's track record is excellent. I just seen that Glowplugger got bluetooth & table for less than $100 and he says it worked. But I think I'll wait to make sure that it works out for him first before going that route.
Rich this might be alittle off topic and please correct me if I am wrong. If just seems to me that Bluetooth is on it's way out kinda like how CD's are being replaced by thumb drives & MP3's.
That and isn't WiFi faster that bluetooth?
Like I said I really am clueless kinda like my new puppy.

Buying a wifi OBD-II adapter would be like installing a fire hydrant so you can fill your fish bowl once a month.
