I bought the PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth adapter. It works great with the Torque app. I found the adapter online at a discount for $65. This has been the single most valuable addition to my toolbox. It has simplified diagnosis for many repairs. I believe that it already goes beyond the diagnosis abilities of the devices that the auto parts stores use. Plus, after you pay the $6 for the app (well worth it), all of the additional plugins are free (correction, they now have advanced OBD2 codes for specific models that are extra – or “lite” versions – Hyundai, Fiat, Nissan, Kia etc.) But even so, those are only $5.
I have used it to diagnose the EGR DPFE problem with my wife’s Sable. That repair diagnosis alone paid for the adapter and app.
Plus, the free plugins add so much more:
Track recorder – way fun.. films your drive with gauge overlays that record exactly what the engine was doing at every point.
Racing meter – don’t have this yet.
Live view – Ditto
SmartWatch – Ditto – I need to download some of these new plugins!
Widgets – Nice to have while in driving mode.
Shift lights – cool, but don’t use.
And the list goes on.
I can’t imagine starting a diagnosis without it now.I bought the PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth adapter. It works great with the Torque app. I found the adapter online at a discount for $65.
