Performance App for Android

rutwad · October 17, 2015

Has anyone found a really good app for their android smartphone that records 0-60 and quarter mile times?

Since I have swapped my 3.42 gears for 3.73, installed ARH, Airaid Jr. and BBP tune, I am anxious to see how it performs.

Torque and an OBD 2 bluetooth dongle

Will that interfere with BB tune in any way?

No

Cool, so can I pick one up local at a Best Buy or have to order online?

Check out the BAFX 34t5 OBD2 Unit @ Amazon.com for only $21.99. I'll post the link below, check it out and read the reviews, it's their #1 Diagnostic Tool and it does everything & more than most scanners that cost hundreds more do, it plugs in and links to your phone via Bluetooth and scans/clears codes, does emissions trading, plus it displays real time data from most sensors (all of the ones we care about most anyway) & More including the ability to display 1/8 or 1/4 mile times and other performance related data, you can do some data logging too depending on the software you use. You've gotta download an App like Torque° or one of the many others and the free version does all of the basic stuff and of course for $5 up to $10 you can do/see much more, it's amazing what it does for free or just a few dollars, well worth it and it works on all vehicles if you want to use it on any other vehicle with the OBD2 Port, basically anything made from 1996-Present. It displays the info on your Android Powered Phone or Tablet, etc. You can leave it plugged in to your OBD2 Port all of the time and you could get a cheap tablet and mount it in your vehicle if you want, they have a nice extension that's cheap and allows you to put it just about anywhere to keep it out of the way, I think I'm going to get a cheap refurbished tablet with a 7" Screen and make a little console for it so it's always available and I can monitor all of the important sensors, you can also use an old cell phone you have laying around if you want, it's the real deal. Read the customer reviews, it's got a 4.5/5 Star meaning 95% of the buyers love it, don't pay attention to the negative reviews because they're from people who don't know how to use it, you know there's always a few that'll find something wrong with it no matter what. See for yourself, here's the link, if there are any issues just go to Amazon and search for it by name, it'll poo right up plus it has few shipping and the orders always arrive in 48 hours or less.

I know I'll be getting my own immediately after dealing with my issues I've posted about earlier, I was going to order one months ago just to have but forgot all about it, I certainly won't forget again. I used a new Snap On Scanner the day then a scanner from a local parts store that cost about $340 or so, I'm shocked it's not more expensive, they could easily sell it for much more. You'll see after you read about it and sed what the Torque App and others are capable of, the Torque App's Free Version is best great but the $5 or $10 Premium Version is really awesome. I've never had one of my own but certainly will by the middle of the week so I never have to go use someone else's. Works with Android Phones/Tablets & Windows based PC's, sorry Apple guys, it's not compatible with iPhones/iPod/MacBook or anything else made by Apple.
