Cheap gauges? OBDII/Bluetooth/Torque App???
What do you guys think about this solution for cheap gauges?

Is there any risk to driving around with a device plugged into your OBDII port?

I have no problems with it. The torque app is pretty handy, especially if you already have a tablet or phone mounted in the car anyway.

Sorry man, but I'm in the process of moving, so I don't know when I'll get around to getting a pic. My setup isn't anything special though. I don't keep it on 24/7, but it's handy when I need it. The main reason I started using it was when my gauge cluster died.

That's a pretty good price for access to important information. What app are you planning on using?
