I am looking at Torque v. DashCommand. Both apparently require buying
"sub-apps" for each vehicle or vehicle type or something to get all the
data streams? I would want to run the app on my 2000 Suburban and 96
Chebbie truck. I am trying to figure out what I would need to do that,
and what the full-up capabilities would cost. Any idea on that? Does
the Torque pro version cover any vehicle with all the data stream? I
guess it's only $5 so no big cost. I saw some comment on some forum
that the sub-app for DashCommand is $10 but not entirely sure. I sent
them an email to find out.
I'm sorta thinking the apple app only because the ipad would be easier
to see on the bigger screen than on the little android phone screen and
I don't have an android tablet (although I see them now for $50 for some
cheepchinee thing).

When I was looking for an iPhone app I saw a lot about Torque and how great it
is. I was tempted to take the old Nook I have laying around that I rooted and
try it out with it.

My Suburban is acting up, finally threw a code last night so now I can try
to fix it. In doing some research I found these cheepcheep unit for either
Android ($8 or so) and IOS (more like $20) and this app for $5. I have an
old Android phone so might just spend $13 and get this set up

Torque is awesome. Don't skimp, buy the pro version.
I have it running constantly in the van on an old phone, works great as
long as the dash doesn't sit in the sun - that makes the poor phone shut
down. :( I usually run temperatures and mileages on the display, it is
nice to see at a glance how heavy my foot is.
Best,
Tim
