Scangauge seems to be popular. I think Wooders stock them.

You can buy an OBDII bluetooth dongle off eBay for about $25. You then need to hook this up to a laptop/tablet/smartphone via Bluetooth. If you have an android based phone there is an app called 'Torque', a free and paid version. Else if using a laptop there are applications that do this stuff too. There was some caveat with older iPhones and Bluetooth but I think that's resolved now. Cheers.

So the Bluetooth ones work with iPhone now? Last I checked they only worked with WiFi dongles.

Thank you! Great info.

It's off to the mechanics this arvo to get second a safety check, as I think the dealer may have overlooked some things. If that comes up clean a full service, which I'm despising paying for but am unfortunately very time poor.

So a major service was just completed, all fluids, Rad cap, thermostat etc. Auto is serviced. Waiting on the bank balance to recover and I'll order the igntn stuff and some other spares from rockauto.

First trip is to bright in 3 weeks! My daughters birthday is this weekend which somehow takes up 3 weekends for various partys? Which means no local wheeling yet
