I gave it a quick test and it seems to work well with my Nexus 7, especially as it was only £7 on ebay. What stuff should I be looking at with the Torque app while i'm on the road? I'm very excited to see if the boost guage works on my turbo diesel!

I got mine a week ago and just cleared a O2 code last night that keeps popping up on my 99 ranger. Was pretty stoked. I get excited easily.

This is the exact item I purchased.

Three PCB's stacked on each other, the top (smallest) one is the Bluetooth transceiver. Not sure how many of these there are out there, ELM327 seems to be generic and comes in a variety of casings. I would imagine even the ones that look the same come from different Chinese sweatshops.

"NewNow OBD II Scan Mini Advanced OBD scan tool" is what it says on the label.

Just kidding, at least you're not posting on Oppo from your Nexus 7 while you're on the road ... or are you?
