Does anyone know of a bluetooth (wireless) OBDII scan tool that is compatible with a 2003 Dodge 3500 CTD? I want to use the Torque app on my smart phone to monitor engine functions. I ordered a ELM 327 Ebay unit that works great on my car, but it will not communicate with the ol' Dodge.

Any info or history on this issue would be most welcome - Thanks in advance for your response!!

Bump just got mine in mail

Doh.....operator error.......mine is working. It's a Vgate Scan in case anyone is wondering. Now I have to start playing with it. I am going to use Torque Scan to see what PIDs I can get from the ECM.

I have looked into this a little and OBDPro states that they have a smartswitch that will work. The only thing it will not show is duration.

Thanks for the info. I did look at that, but I don't know if I need something that elaborate. I was looking to use my smartphone as a gauge package, rather than cluttering up my dash. There's little room the way it is, and the 'decent' gauges aren't cheap...or should I say 'cheap enough'...

Quality gauges will be much more reliable than "smartphone app". I have both.

Something else on your phone to potentially distract you while driving. I'd much prefer to have an Edge Insight hooked up to monitor the vitals.

At least he won't be texting to his cummins! LOL

Well my amazon bought cheapy worked wonderful for two weeks.

What one did you buy? And what year is your Truck?

Having an Insight would be no different than having my phone in its cradle, stuck on the windshield........jus sayin.....

I run torque on my Galaxy S4 with the Elm and it works fine for the parameters available. I wish I could add other inputs to it since my 06 does not have EGT or trans temp. I am working on other alternatives but so far all of them are complicated and expensive. I purchased a DashDaq with works fine with the basic 27 OBD pids but nothing else. If I get anything great I will let everyone know.
