Damn USPS, they suck. Tracking says the package, my interface, was delivered yet I got nothing. There was a letter in my mailbox so I know they came by. WTH?! I hope they didnt lose it. Thats my fault for not doing a better vendor search, theres an ebay vendor locate in Pomona, 5min from me, that sells it. I couldve picked one up in person last week. D'oh!

Read on the Torque forum how to transfer and encode the videos. You have to install some (free) software on your PC. The video and meta data are stored separately on the phone. It takes a PC tool to render them together, then you'll have the vid on your PC. Slightly clunky process, but it's not too bad and doesn't cost anything extra.

Well, got the interface today but it wouldn't communicate with the vettes ecu. It did read my Chrysler 200 and worked well. The app mentioned that some of the eBay interfaces may have trouble communicating with a j1850 protocol, which is what ford and gm use. So, they're sending me another more popular unit. Hope this one works.

Well I got the new interface in and it worked. App works good so far. Able to see quite a bit of data. Gonna do more driving tomorrow to keep testing. Like what I'm seeing so far.



So far Ive looked at speed, rpms, timing, intake temps, water temps, gear selection, hp/tq, throttle position, engine load and I did a knock detection test. I test a data log while cruising on the fwy just to see how to pull it up on the site and what it looks like. The only issue I had was finding the right passkey to pair it to my my phone via bluetooth. Most are "1234" or "0000". This one was "6789", just a heads up.

You'll have to be content with rubbing sticks together and reading the entrails of goats.

Man it looks like a PITA to download all those files and figure it out. I'll try in tomorrow after some sleep. Lol.

They have an ALDL cable that I can use, but I'll have to carry around my laptop to datalog. No big deal since I have a small Netbook.

They have obdI to obdII interface adapters. I dont know if it'll work with the Torque app and the bluetooth interface but it might be worth looking into.
