...and you don't even need a cable for that. Works off Bluetooth when you plug the thing into your port.

I ran an old Motorola droid as auxiliary gauges on my Duramax.

Do you have to use data on the tablet for it to work?
Still trying to figure out oil pressure. I'm not good at computer stuff.

Nope...no data. Just an app on a device.

Even one of the customer reviews is for the torque app.

I bought the scan tool . I'll just wait till it comes in to mess around with it. Thanks, highjack over.

No problem... I just hate to see people over spend for small electronics like that.

I mean if that edge device was like a tuner or something like that I could see the price but you're paying all that money just for something that you just want to monitor is kind of ridiculous.

I am temporarily using my kids 8" tablet and putting just forward of my transmission shifter, basically just out of reach of my right arm. I feel like a 10" table is going to work better. To get the vital gauges on the screen they are a little small.
I also found that there are settings in the app for temperature and pressure warnings. It will flash the gauge at or past the trigger point. In have not seen it yet live just found it in the app settings.

Thanks Tony. Definitely will be taking a look into this tablet route option.

No prob....I thought about doing the same thing in my rig, but honestly the 4 gauges already in it work and I don't like fixing what's not broke.

I basically just used it on mine a few times to erase a misfire code after a rev limiter fest and also to verify my mechanical gauges. My coolant temp gauges reads about 8-10 warmer than the OBD pulled data. Just little things I made note of.

Here's a pic of Jamie's (Mtnride)

We are still working on the oil pressure reading, but everything else works as it should. Cheap tablet and the torque app

The only downside I see to going that route on a diesel tow rig would be not having the pyrometer for EGTs that ties directly into the Edge display. If there's a way to have that on the tablet then it's definitely a no brainer. You may be able to do a stand alone pyro gauge and still come out cheaper. If I had it to do again I would probably go the tablet route. Definitely for a buggy build. But at the time I didn't do much research, I was just throwing money away. #CHM laughing1

If it is a parameter that is measured by the engines computer... Then it will be on the torque app.
