I've used "Torque" with my Droid phone and the PLX Devices KIWI Bluetooth adaptor. It works pretty good but you have to do a lot of research to get everything you want up there. Out of the box it pretty much does RPM, % Throttle, Boost/Vaccuum, Temperature, Speed (wheel-reported and GPS), Drive Cycle, and some others. I tried to get it to read what gear I am in so I could log the shift-points but I haven't found that magical PID just yet. I'll have to give the one you found a try.
My idea was just a cheap data logger so I could see what the car was doing when combined with the built in camera on my phone.
My car is an '06 LS V8 Sport in case you were wondering about compatibility. I haven't had any issues with mine but from what I understand the OBD2 interface is half the battle. I have also heard that buggy interface software can also make the cars do strange things like stall and not start etc.
Also, the "PID"s or "Property IDentifier" are different from ECU to ECU, not to mention manufacturer to manufacturer. There are some generic ones that work for all, but you will likely have to spend some time digging around to get the very specific ones like Gear Select, Transmission Temp, Steering Angle, O2, MAF, etc etc. The ones I listed above are the generic ones except the Gear Select
But for $100-$150 I don't think you can go wrong. The adapter I bought was $95 direct from manufacturer and the paid app was $2.50 I think. Also got free updates but I will try the one you found to see if it does what I need.
