tablet install in storage compartment help

fireman3361 · 09-09-2014, 04:01 PM

I have read all the numerous threads and did some research. I plan on putting my progress on here as well. Right now, I am at the purchase phase. I am wondering from the people that have them, what you used and the likes/dislikes of it. I have read about the problems with the power issue and the lag from using the OBDII plugin device.

Just looking to get everyones setup here in one thread and see what is best for the tablet and OBDII sensor.

Is bluetooth the best way to go with this and the torque app?

I have a 2013 NISMO with custom system and aftermarket headunit

thanks!

I am using an ELM327 bluetooth adapter with Torque. No issues. I even have the "fast reading" option enabled for the adapter.

My current project
