    So has anyone used one of these to monitor everything going on? From what I found and researched I found the BAFX one seems to be the best working one on the market. Also the torque app does everyone use the lite or pro version? That may be a dumb question because the pro looks way better with more readings. Thanks in advance for all input.

    I used mine on a car with a downward facing OBD port and it never fell off it was always really snug.....also btw the bafx one is probably gonna be too long and your gonna hit it on your leg. Your buddy must have broke his somehow because they shouldn't be that loose period. But not my money do as you wish.

    Mines as big as that Bafx one and my leg doesn't hit it on my gp. Now my Accent I had a 5 speed and would hit it all the time when using the clutch.

    I bought mine on ebay way back in like 2010. I paid $35 for the adapter and it took like 2 weeks to get here from China.

    I have torque pro too and I like it. How accurate would you guys say it is? Obviously the horse power ratings and things like that aren't correct but how about the IAT and MPG?

    IAT's are accurate, because they are sourced from the PCM's sensor readouts. MPG I hear is relatively accurate (more than the DIC if that's saying anything), but it is more accurate if you select enhanced MPG calculations in the Settings->OBD adapter section. Make sure you select Fast Communication while you are in there. That'll speed things up a bit.
