I got a cheap one from eBay and works great. I bought the torque pro as the lite version doesn't allow boost gauge to work, the pro version has so much more though, well worth the £3 I paid for it, does anyone know if iPhones can get the app?

I'll need to look into one of these, sounds like a nice bit of kit

Anyone know if there is one out there that works with Landrover software? I tried plugging the Scangauge into my Defender and it wouldn't work. A bloke on the Defender forum said the software is a bit different

possibly. The Scangauge turns on but just it's on the "connecting...." screen

There is a similar app for the iphone but its not torque, it's called DashCommand - only downside being it costs £35 instead of £3 on Android!

I think you'd also need a wifi dongle for it to work due to how Apple stop you connecting non-Apple kit to the iphone.

I use one of these with Torque and it works fine

I bought a £20 OBDII bluetooth sender from eBay and use the Torque app - works a treat I used to have a scanguage and found the biggest problem was having somewhere to mount it in the ZS and make it look OE.

So my Bluetooth dongle arrived today and downloaded the torque app.this is easily the best 13 quid ish I have ever spent cracking wee bit of kit and the app is superb.only problem is I seem to be an o2 sensor down dammit.
