    It shows live engine feedback but I’m not sure how detailed it gets w the sensors. I have mainly used it to confirm and clear a phantom p0420 that trips once in a while. If there’s a specific sensor reading you’re looking for I can plug it in tonight

    Thanks for doing this! Can you check if it can graph the voltage O2 sensors? I think that will be beneficial for troubleshooting future emission problems.

    There is no ability to graph O2 sensors. Just this “status” — my reading of INC seems . . . well, not good lol then again, I’ve been called worse. Hope that helps!

    I've been pretty happy using the Torque app. It was a little more expensive but I went with a Bluetooth scanner (vLinker MC) that has a sleep mode so I can leave it plugged into the OBD port at all times.

    Yeah I’ve use it on my Subaru Impreza and Forester and a couple of my friends vehicles, Jeep and a Chevy truck and the vehicle can be cleared while going down the road which is better than my tethered scanner which has to be not moving/running.
