I have never used Aeroforce, so can't compare. I bought cheap ebay $20 bt adapter, did NOT work w/ my 03 GTP. Then bought plx kiwi, the on/off switch is worth the $.

W/ Android torque w/ plx kiwi, the refresh rates are programmable, but are limited to capacity of phone, bt technology, etc. again, I can't compare to other devices.

An advantage to android torque is ability to +/- displays, scan multiple things "simotaneously", mix & match what you want is supper easy. Disad. is more things you scan, slower ability to refresh.

My biggest complaint w/ android torque is; device must be connected in order to configure displays--ie it would be nice to be able to set up displays anytime not just when in car. Second complaint--it does NOT read my ABS codes.

Android torque has some quirks, but it is being improved and it has been very helpful for me, even trouble shooting misfires and resetting dtc.

If someone has a specific function they are looking for, post it & I'll see if my setup can do it.

If your Laptop has wifi hotspot available you can sync the droid or tablet directly to a laptop via that connection it was one of the main features I was very impressed by for data mapping. where a phone is probably gonna run out of room alot quicker than a tablet either way having it sent to a laptop for study later seemed awesome.

Phones also are not meant for large amounts of data streaming or transferring via bluetooth I would bet my left nut with a tablet preferably duo core and a hidden obd2 to usb line running the refresh rate and delays would be hardly noticeable

I was actually able to go through and setup all my displays for vehicle before getting the adapter I think dsm addressed this by unistlling the program after downloading the proper pids and reinstalling.
