Default bluetooth obd scanners.....

Anyone try these yet? Android phone apps let you data log and check/clear codes. Something easy to always have in truck. Thinking about pcking one up. Looking for reviews opinions etc. Don't wanna hear...just buy efi or hp tuners.

EASE scanning software has had bluetooth available for several years, but it is a commercial scan tool with recording speeds up to 40 cycles/sec. You could use a laptop, desktop or smartphone to record. I haven't heard of any others up to now.

I have HPtuners and I was looking at the torque app, just to have something to keep in the truck.
Looks pretty cool for low cost device.
