If it works as well on a Patrol then I'd say it's a great investment and at $15 for the plug and $5 for the full app it's a very cheap alternative to a scan guage or equivalent

I run an obd2 bluetooth adapter and torque on my android headunit in my 2012 Patrol, Use it to monitor speed, fuel rail pressure, water temp etc.
Works really well.

That is exactly what I want to do, but I haven't yet found a way to do it with mine.:banghead:

I don't get that bit? All the info is live.
There's a guy on the ls forum that has combined dash cam, gps and torque information to end up with a gps pinned video with map and gauge overlay on it. Pretty tricky!

If you leave the BT unit plugged in always and your phone and radio are compatible you can mirror what's on your phone to the radio. Even better if the radio supports apps, run the torque app straight out the radio.
It's endless what can be done now.

Ahh yep I get you now. I have installed the app on my old phone which has a very big screen so that can be dedicated to the app. Apparently the plugs chew a bit of power if left in continuously.
Which app were you using?

Same. Torque, but the lite version found that it was enough to find the fault and reset it.
Really would like to be able to use it in the Patrol.

I have a Jaycar wifi one, i originally bought the blue tooth one but could not get it to work so took it back & swapped it. I bought it to fault find the Hyundai & plugged it into the 'troll (GU8), using the free app I could look at many parameters. I made the mistake of leaving it plugged in & flattened the battery when the car was not used for 3 weeks.

I lashed out the whole 5 bucks for the pro version straight up lol.
My plug was from a Melbourne seller and cost 15 bucks. Logged data on the drive to work today and emailed it to myself.
I can open the spreadsheet but the other two files are .kml files. I think they're to do with the google maps stuff. What opens them?

Yep... the .kml file should open in Google Earth and show you the track you took (as a series of points IIRC)
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
