What to do with 4g Galaxy Tab E in stock BRZ limited?
 
I got a tablet with a data plan when I upgraded my phone. I didn't really want/need it but in the end I basically just paid the tax on the device so not a big deal. Anyway, I was thinking of using it in my car. I have Spotify premium and use that constantly so I'll probably use it for that. But otherwise what else would you guys recommend I do with it?

I guess I need to find a good way to mount it in the car too.

Thanks!

I was thinking about ordering this OBD II scan tool to run Torque. I've never used Torque before but I've always thought it would be interesting to be able to monitor some additional sensors.

Is there a better reader I should be looking at?


I also ordered this mount:

I've heard the BAFX one is pretty good, it's just kinda huge. I've got the OBDLink LX Bluetooth one from ScanTool.net and it works great! It's a little more expensive, though.

Occasionally TrackAddict (which I use for logging autox runs) won't pick it up but all I have to do is unplug it for a second.

nice. thanks for the info. So that App comes with the transmitter? Does it work in landscape view mode?

Also, does anyone know if it's possible to pair my cell phone (Galaxy S7) and the Galaxy Tab E simultaneously to the BRZ limited head unit? I'd like to be able to retain the ability to make and receive calls from my cell but run music and navigation from the tablet.

The Bluetooth unit comes with a QR code to scan that takes you to their app, but I just use Torque and TrackAddict which are separate (but free).

Both work in landscape or portrait orientations.
