oh yeah I do. Here's something equivalent to what I use:
http://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/p...bluetooth.html
(I got the serial version but in retrospect this bluetooth/usb version might be a better option)
And I use the Torque app shown. it's configurable like TS dashboards to display whatever OBDII gauge you want in several styles. Pretty bitchin. Torque app also uses accel and GPS data if you so desire.

I use Torque on my android with a cheap obd2->bluetooth adapter off amazon. Both products have worked flawlessly. The only issue I have had is that the bluetooth adapter has an led on it which could drain your cars battery.

So, other than real time info, do(es) these act as a regular scan tool for codes as well?
I was thinking of buying a scan tool, had a good deal on amazon on black friday, but this appears much cheaper and hella portable.
Does anyone use an iphone app, which one, and how is it performing?
Thanks, Bill.
