So I want to mount a tablet in my SHO for torque pro data logging . I found a cheap Netbook tablet at walmart. It has the google play store, so getting the torque pro app should be easy. Just wondering if the tablet choice is important to set this up i my car? Any help will be great.

I have a pretty basic tablet, Samsung Tab2. Does great, little rough to read on certain light angles. Not to bad having tint all the way around. If I was to upgrade it'd be one with glare blocker. But see no need to.

I bought a Moto G on eBay for $38, mounted it to a Garmin suction cup and put it on the top of my windshield on top of the rear view mirror. I got a 12ft USB cable on Amazon for $6 and wired it through the headliner, down the driver side a pillar, down the dash, and into the console where I have a little 2port usb charger that plugs into the 12v outlet, The phone draws so little power so I'm not worried about it draining the battery.

Got any pics of this setup?
Here's one from when I had an older android phone. I was able to put the Moto g higher up so it doesn't block the rear view mirror because the charge port is on the bottom, not on the side like this old phone. Have my 9500ix handing from the rear view mirror post

Is dash command a good program to use? I can get that on my iPhone. Or my buddy was gonna sell me a galaxy tablet. I also found this one that looks like it supports torque pid files.. It's called engine link

Can you enter custom PIDs in Dash Command by chance?

I also have an iPhone and have done some playing with both EngineLink and Forscan lite.
Engine link does allow for custom pids but they don't always work. In particular I haven't gotten tire pressures to work or fuel rail pressure.
Forscan Lite doesn't allow custom PIDs but has a more extensive list of pids loaded and does show me data for tire pressures and fuel rail.
What PIDs are you looking to access?
Rear fuel pressure, boost, knock retard

I'll try to take a look tomorrow and check for you.

Yes but when you use the gauges instead of the standard dashboard, the performance slows to Torque levels.
Does anyone use a kindle fire? They are only 50$..

Engine link does boost but does not do rear fuel pressure or show knock regard. I will look into the actual PIDs and try building them as custom PIDs and report back.
ForscanLite does boost, fuel rail pressure and rear fuel pressure. It lists knock timing but I need to take the car for a drive later to see if it actually reads it. My suspicion is it does read it since it will show knock readings for all cylinders and does show normal spark advance
The knock PID works in Forscan on my car just fine. The individual cylinders do not.

Last time I checked only amazon approved apps are allowed and none of the diagnostic stuff was listed. Unless that has changed, you would have to side load the app.
I have and they have a program similar to torque. I forget what it's called, but search for torque and the one i'm talking about pops up. It has everything that torque has I do believe..
