There have been obd2 apps on the Droid marketplace for some time, just need to buy the Bluetooth dongle for your car port.
It looks cool, but seems to be a bit limited. It doesn't seem to be any possibilities for resetting fault codes, and no possibility of real time sensor readouts.
iirc theres a droid app that will do that via a bluetooth OBI-II adaptor, but i can't for the life of me remember what its called
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-prowl-torque-npqD.aspx Looks like a useable wee app, there's even an add supported one if you don't want to pony up. The one above does; http://torque-bhp.com/software/torque-videos/
I've been playing with Torque on my android for a while. I got it because I've been getting a check engine light and was avoiding taking the car in to a shop. It has been nice for other things though but a bit.. off. For instance, both GPS and ODB speed claim that I'm pulling 100+ mph in 45limit during rush hour. Impossible.
I don't need it, I've got a fully equipped Bosch light vehicle OBD system at my disposal, plus a Texa wireless OBD palmtop computer with vehicle data for light and HGV's It is a very neat idea though
Positive it's set to Miles on my app but I checked the site that everything gets uploaded to and that would explain it. It doesn't specifically say either MPH or KPH there but the conversion sounds about right.
Not really 45mph is a sniff under 75kph, so still off. Downloaded it earlier and even if I set it to mph the display says kph under it will give it a go with gps tommoz
I took another look at the logs. Where I would be in the 45 zone, it says I topped out at 80.1 which is just shy of 50mph and my top speed would've been highway at 124kph, which comes out to 77mph which is reasonable. I'm normally higher than either of these speeds.
