android OBD-II scanner apps

Hi I'm trying to connect dash command and or torque pro to my 03 TL using an ELM Bluetooth dongle. This setup works on all my other cars like the RDX and Impreza. However on the TL it has problems detecting the PIDs. Anyone using any odb2 android app successfully with their 2G TL? I'm trying to do some data logging.

Thanks.

Yep!
Torque is the standard really.

But is anyone else kinda disappointed with the data that we get?
Like the only things I get readouts on are: Accel, MPG, Intake(pressure), Timing advance, Coolant (degrees), Throttle, O2 bank 1&2, F/T 1X1/2, Revs, and boost oddly enough.

I wish the ECU read more things.
Though I am only running the free one and will get the paid one shortly.

What else are you looking for it to read? Pro shows a little bit more but not much. Remember we arent running the much faster canbus ECUs like most other vehicles.

Sure there are cheaper ones. I went with the kiwi because most places/people recommended it as it worked better than some of the cheaper ones. I only paid 39.00 new for mine 2 years back.
