Am I looking at wrong harness...obdlink mx
That's the one you want. It's not a harness though. It's a dongle that plugs into the OBD port and hooks to the tablet using Bluetooth.

EBPF Mad Scientists Thread ...you guys are awesome...getting ready to order my goods to set up Torque. ..is there a torque for dummies setup yet...lol....thx again
Glad you are going to start monitoring! What are you going to run Torque on if I may ask?  I currently use a Droid Maxx but would like a little more screen real estate so I may move up to a 7" tablet.

I highly recommend the asus memo pad hd7. It's basically a nexus minus the google name.  Asus actually make the nexus.
I did a lot of reasearch before I made my decision last year.
One of the main selling points for me was the micro sd slot (up to 32gb) which the nexus does not have.

Larry, how tough was it to stealth the wire... i know it gets pretty messy under some dashboards
It's not bad really. It's pretty cramped under the dash drivers side where the fuse box is located. If you are young and flexible no prob. I'm not so I struggled.  I wired a female cig lighter connector to a hot on ignition wire I found on an unused fuse. Then I plugged in a car USB adaptor into that. Then ran the USB under the dash and the rest depends on where you decide to mount your tablet. I mounted mine over the Nav display so I came out with the USB cable from under the speaker grill.

I'd make a good cheerleader cause I really like and enjoy working and learning with it, but I'm not a nerd so it takes me a while sometimes to solve problems. I've been playing with my Tablet with torque for close to a couple of years now and the enjoyment keeps ramping up as I learn more and do more. ecoboostsho in particular has done more to expand the usefulness of Torque in our vehicles than I could have ever envisioned. So I do encourage you and if I can help with advice or info, I'm glad to repay what I have received.

The teamwork and selflessness in this thread is beyond words. I imagine that I will be a confused puppy looking for guidance shortly. Math I always loved, patience is still a work in progress. At some point I might have to offer up some drinks and dinner for a good tutorial! !!

Definitely a team effort!  I may have figured out a way to get the PIDs but everyone on this thread has helped in many ways - either through testing or coming up with great ideas or even contributing their own PIDs etc...  It's been a lot of fun!

I spent most of my initial efforts on the physical installation. Wiring and mounting because I'm fussy and I had a goal of how I wanted the tablet to work (auto on and off and self maintaining charge). Once I got that accomplished I thought I was done but I found out that Torque is pretty powerful and customizable so the work (or play) continues.

Which one would be best? Bluetooth or wifi? I can accommodate either one. If there isn't a performance difference, I'm thinking Bluetooth to avoid extra data usage.
