Review ScanTools OBDLink MX w/ Torque

ZMan8

Finally got around to getting some screenshots and I bought torque pro:

Torque pro is awesome that's all I have to say.

Cost was $5 on android market, is easy to use and has many, many features. You can customize is as well.

The following is all of the features of Torque Pro. I included all in order they appear for selection. Not all are available in each car but 90% are (boost not available in 370z).
Real Time information:
0-100 kph time
0-200 kph time
0-60 mph time
1/4 mile time
1/8 mile time
100-0 kph time
40-60 mph time
60-0 mph time
60-120 mph time
60-80 mph time
90-100 mph time

absolute throttle position B

Acceleration Sensor (total)
Acceleration Sensor (X axis) ---this is how many G's on a turn
Acceleration Sensor (Y Axis)
Accelration Sensor (Z Axis)

Accelerator pedal position d
accelerator pedal position e
accelerator pedal position f

air fuel ratio (commanded)
air fuel ratio (measured) ---- you need this if intakes + headers + hFC & CBE
ambient air temp
average trip speed
barometric pressure
catalyst temperature (bank 1, Sensor 1 or 2; bank 2, sensor 1 or 2)

Fuel Cost (trip)
Fuel flow rate/hour
Fuel flow rate/minute
Fuel Level
Fuel Pressure
Fuel Rail pressure
fuel rail presure (relative to manifold vacuum)
Fuel Trim Bank 1 Long Term
Fuel Trim bank 1 sensor 1, 2, 3, or 4
Fuel Trim Bank 1 Short Term
Fuel Trim Bank 2 Long Term
Fuel Trim Bank 2 Long Term
Fuel Trim bank 2 sensor 1, 2, 3, or 4
Fuel Trim Bank 2 Short Term
Fuel used (trip)

GPS accuracy
GPS altitude
GPS bearing
GPS satellites
GPS vs OBD Speed Difference

Horsepower at the wheels --- not as accurate as a dyno, but was close

Intake Air Temperature
Intake Manifold Pressure

Kilometers per litre (instant)
Kilometers per litre (long term average)
litres per 100 kilometer (Instant)
litres per 100 kilometer (long term average)

Mass air flow rate

miles per gallon (instant)
miles per gallon (long term average)

02 Sensor 1 Equivalence Ratio
02 Sensor 1 Equivalence ratio (alternate)
...this up to o2 sensor 8
02 volts bank 1 sensor 1, 2, 3, or 4
o2 volts bank 2 sensor 1, 2, 3, or 4

Relative accelerator pedal position
relative throttle position
speed (GPS)
speed (OBD) --- more accurate

throttle position (manifold)
timing advance

Torque - calculated using weight of vehicle and engine size (user input)

Transmission temp

trip average kpl
trip average litres/100 km
trip average mpg
trip distance
trip distance (stored in vehicle profile)
Trip time (since journey start
trip time (whilst moving)
trip time (whilst stationary)---how much do you spend in traffic????
turbo boost & vacuum gauge
voltage (control module)
voltage (obd adapter

volumetric efficiency (calculated)

You can make custom sensors as well.

For the above you can select different displays:
-Dial (needle), dial (meter), half dial (needle), half dial (meter)
-bar display, graph, digital display, acceleration widget, compass (gps bearing)
-fuel status, secondary air status, fuel & air status, eco warrior,raw data display
-drive cycle status since dtc clear,current drive cycle status
-gps positioning, clock, roll meter (measure the G's), pitch meter, on/off display, push button

In addition you can have map view, graph your data (even torque/hp curves)

Edit#2 You can put custom alarms for any of the items you're measuring. So both min. and max. value alarms. This is useful for AFR, speed, rpms (you can have alarm sound off at certain rpm), etc,
