Torque App? - Honda Prelude Forum

Has anyone used it or another similar app on their Lude? I'm curious how it is.

Never heard of it, I take it that it attempts to calculate your vehicles torque.

Sounds like a bad joke, but.....

Yes, I've downloaded Torque, but never used it (on my droid).

There was also another program I downloaded on my iPad (forget the name for the moment) and you had to buy a wireless OBD-2 sender (not to be confused with bluetooth). The app was $40 and the wireless sender was $120. It isn't as accurate as I thought it would be with the 1/4 mile times, 0-60 and the estimated HP/TQ. However, knowing certain parameters like water temp, intake air temp, etc were cool and also being able to diagnose and clear CEL's was cool.

Overall, based on how much I used it, I wouldn't say it was the greatest investment. If you do research on the bluetooth OBD-2 port connectors, you'll find that many of them are junk and simply won't work.

What is your goal with the Torque program?

Was it Rev?? I would like to try that..It would be cool to be able to check my CEL codes and stuff.
Which Wireless sender did you get?

I downloaded the free android version and ordered a cheapo bluetooth OBDII reader off ebay. I'm hoping the bluetooth works though because the legit ones are over a hundred. I'm looking to read/clear codes but also I was just wondering how many differerent readings we can get off of our cars. I'll update when I get it and hook it up.

Why would you buy something you can do for free by yourself?
