Bluetooth OBD scanner and Android Torque - less than 25 shipped

Just got the heads up from a buddy about a good deal on a bluetooth OBD scanner and the Android Torque app.

Newegg has the bluetooth OBD scanner for $17.15 shipped:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA1EF0FF3688

And the Torque app is $4.95:

Total price right now is $22.10 shipped.

If you're using it on a MacBook, I would suggest getting the USB version. Faster polling of the parameters.

That is a good price on bluetooth adapter, but personally I'd spend a couple more bucks to get this one. More review history and smaller form factor which is important given the ridiculous positioning of our OBDII connection.

Just an FYI, I love Newegg, but I picked up the same mini ELM327 adapter off Ebay for like 5 bucks.
