My youngest was assimilated this week. Her grandfather got her an iPhone, so I've now got an extra Android. I'll keep it around as a spare in case I wash mine or something, but in the meantime I figured I could use it in the truck.
I'll probably store some music on it, the electronic service manual parts and Ranger related files on there as well as a few other odds and ends. But I figured it's main function will be OBDII monitoring.
What Android apps are you guys using? Seem like TorquePro is the most popular? I'm a cheapskate and don't normally pay for apps, is it worth the $5 bucks? Any other apps to consider?
Also, do I just find an OBDII to USB-C dongle to connect the phone to the truck? Does that also charge the phone if so? Do they make one with a pass through that leaves the factory OBDII port usable/intact? Howabout a Bluetooth connection? That a thing?
Also, what else can I use this extra device for that I'm missing? I'm looking at you Sid, @Msfitoy . If you cut the command center down to one screen what would you use it for?
