that'll teach me to be honest.....lol

 

uh well the innovo is no where close to the graphing of live data compared to the Torque app on my tablet. dont waste your money on Innovo.  it doesn't show all the vehicles data.  for $260 all you get is the basic temp, o2's, maf, map, and a couple other basic sensors and clear code function, which can be done via battery disconnect, the Innovo screen is really tiny compared to a smart phone or tablet... the App developer for torque gives so much data it will make diagnosis easier, and custom graphs and gauges are easier to absorb while analyzing data  $7 bluetooth+$8 for app=$16 or $20 is a no brainer

Amazon search ELM327 

i dont recomend these for tuning because it has about a half second lag, but the data feed is awesome.. for tuning get a highspeed connection via taptop. minimize lag 

once you get the ELM327 you can also try using Dashcommand app,

I like this one, this is why I opened this thread to gather inputs! This particular device comes with an App designed specifically for this product, I like that...

"There are no additional fees to use BlueDriver once you have a sensor. The BlueDriver App is free, and all features are unlocked and included in the single BlueDriver App."

One thing about the Blue Driver is when I read a friends car for the check engine light, it also showed several other codes for things I never heard of but were not serious enough to trip the light.  Like light codes for bulbs being out and such.  The app updates like all the other ISO apps.

This is probably the one I am going to go with. I’m sure they all have their highs and lows but this one is hitting all the high points I am looking for, thank you.

It even works on an iPad which is nice for the larger screen and my old eyes can read better.

Got my Blue Driver scan/clearing tool today. The App is very easy to navigate. I did also just ordered a small clamshell case to keep it from getting beaten up when not in use. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. Thanks for everyone for their recommendations and suggestions   First pic is the actual unit with my watch for a size reference, the second is a screenshot of the App itself.

***guess I better update my watch to DLST and the date too! I never wear this one lol***

Blue Driver is great.  Paid for itself first time I used it on my last truck troubleshooting a traction control issue.
