I think that the Torque app is the only way to go here.

Unfortunately, I have had some issues being able to set up proper "dashboards" in app, or being able to see the individual sensor's, so if anybody has good information on that...

I only plugged the unit into the OBD port and idled the engine, so I didn't test the accelerometer or speed stuff, but....

These apps at least function:
  1. Torque Lite (function-reduced demo)
  2. OBD Car Doctor
  3. DashCommand (limited time demo)

There are many more apps to choose from.

BRADESTAR... with Torque Lite, i was able to add "displays" pretty easily. What's not working for you? Perhaps it's an issue with your phone? I'm using a Samsung S5

You bring up a good point. I've been running it on an old original Nexus tab that sits in a drawer in the shop for only this purpose. Maybe I aught to put it on my recent phone.

Not sure if I can explain the confusion that I have trying to find the individual sensors to read. I just remember having problems trying to find my O2 sensors when I needed to. Also, seems like a pain to set up the Dashboards. Felt like there should be more pre-loaded or something.

I used it mainly trouble shooting and it worked great for that. I've heard good things, but damned if I can figure it out. Although, that's not new...
