Anyone setup an 03 EVO VIII with OBD2 Bluetooth & Android Tablet?
Hey all,
Not really finding much to support if this is viable or not on the older 2003 VIII models. I want to setup the torque app on an android tablet connected via bluetooth obd2 to the ecu.
Anyone successfully done it on an 03 evo viii and able to share their experience with it?

I could be wrong but I think he might want to look at his data in real time through a wireless (bluetooth) connection and/or mount the tablet into the dash if he so desired.
I'm interested to see it be done as that would be a cool gadget to have without the hassle of a cord.
I imagine a windows tablet with your desired tuning software could do the same thing, possibly a little easier than an android but correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT: Just seen your reply. Can you elaborate on how you set it up?

of course, I have this OBD2
and the torque App on my Galaxy S6. Connect your phone or device just like any other BT device and open the torque app. Works really great, no complaints here

The main problem is, you cant get any particularly useful data through OBDII. The best approach would be to get a windows tablet and run evoscan on it. I have tried this, but the tablet I bought wasn't upto the task and logged very slowly, so make sure you get a decent tablet if you are going to try it.

Thanks for the replies guys!
Reason for this post was I met a tuner last week who had his android tablet mounted onto his dash in front of the clock with various readings from his ecu in real time. he had it connected via usb but said he used an aftermarket ecu, which got me thinking, wonder how easy it would be to do the same thing with a stock ecu instead.
Looks like some guys use Torque app and connect either via bluetooth obd2, wireless or via usb. seems usb provides the least lag.
Just need to figure out what i can successfully monitor via the torque app, as it would be good to see knock, afr etc etc to ensure the motor is healthy at all times...

This is probably what you would want, but Hamish has kind of disappeared and none have been available to buy in a long time. You can basically do the same thing though with a windows tablet, evoscan, and a tactrix cable.

hmm, any feedback on this plugin for the torque app then?

I just installed torque-pro on my tablet and have it in my Evo MR. I used an OBD-PRO dongle to handle the OBD2-Bluetooth signal conversion. Any data that your ECU gathers is capable of being represented in the torque app, it really is that amazing. The issue with representing obscure data-streams boils down to associating torque recognized PIDs with resistance signals that the ECU analyzes and sends out as CAN messages. I'm not a programmer, but I can assure you that if your ECU is reading a signal, the torque app has a user interface capable of viewing that data. I'm a complete moron and I was able to view some very weird data streams on my torque app. I've got a few pics in my build thread here:
