I knew it can alarm for some but not all, but in any case I still think that the App is better in the sense it is more versatile, and can easily log a lot longer than 60 seconds. I have gone on 6 hour drives logging the entire way. It really comes down to personal preference. I don't like a mountain of gauges.

As far as cheap Ebay crap don't buy those buy the BAFX they actually stand behind the product, and it's a total cost of $30 verses whatever the Aeroforce is.

I bought one off eBay back in 2010 and its still working just fine.
Torque has the benefit of being easily transferred to other vehicles.
I do know that Torque does not work with certain VWs, idk if the Aeroforce does or not.

I heard that you can't use any OBD2 scanners and such on VWs because they just don't work. Not sure if that's true or not...

Yea I went through that with buddy's Audi, it's a different system or something. Probably something to help emissions...oh wait.

buuuuuuurn, I mean, smoke

Shouldn't that be a VW, Eric? Or, have we moved on to 3800 sealing issues....

I'm thinking that Torque and\or Aeroforce set his car on fire.

Ah. Makes perfect sense!

On a side note (that's relevant to the thread, lol) what is the best bluetooth OBD2 to get to use with Torque? I've seen a lot of different ones in a wide range of prices, didn't want to get a crappy one that'll break in a day, or overspend, lol.

so i go and dump 200 some odd dollars on a friggin aeroforce and i could have just used a $30 device and a cellphone the whole time? I'd be livid if i weren't so stuffed from eating pizza.

Those are the cheap Chinese knock offs. About 1 in 10 work. They have gone WAY down hill in the last few years, and is the main reason Torque\OBD2BT has a bad name, lol.
