I just ordered and received the AutoTalky OBDII bluetooth adaptor http://autotalky.com/. I am using it with Torque on my Android and it is straightforward. Now all I need is to create a complete layout of all the info I want.


AutoTalky.com also allows you to log all you vehicle data to their site and share it with trusted mechanics.
 
I hope it works out well for you.  Keep us up to date on how it all goes. 
 
20$ is a great deal compare to the 150$ (in Canada at least) for the MX. Is there any lag in data display? I know my OBD2 to wifi had a 1.5-2 seconds lag with dash command on my iPhone. I am now moving to Android so it might be a good choice for me!
 
I have no lag on the MX.  The tach looks like it's wired. 
 
4 DR says there is a difference in responsiveness... Perhaps he can chime in as to the one he is using.  Know it costs around $100.

 
If memory serves me correctly, I believe the "higher end" Bluetooth devices, have a faster refreshing rate, which in turn, results in less perceived lag in what appears on the display.

Or at least that's how I understood it.

I have the cheap one and the MX, the MX has no lag compared to the cheaper one. The cheap one it is noticeable, the MX if there is any I can't tell.
 
I tried the adapter from AutoTalky.com with Torque and had no lag that I could detect. It seems to work fine with my phone and tablet.
 
Has anyone tried the ODBLX? From what I've read its supposed to be just as fast as the MX, but I wasn't sure if the MX was required for Fords.

The last paragraph is what makes me wonder if the MX is required:

"Consider purchasing OBDLink MX if you need access to the proprietary Ford & GM vehicle networks (Ford MSC and GMLAN) in addition to the standard OBD-II protocols. "

Click to expand...

I'm wondering this too? Anyone tried the LX?
Should be the same thing without in depth Ford download capabilities.
I don't plan to do anything but run torque with it. Datalogging is done via tuner, correct?
TIA

I'm thinking it lacks the ford specific pids also.
 
Its lacking "ms-can". Which I'm pretty sure is just PW/PL radio and ignition. Do I need that? Is anyone using that stuff remotely?
