Ok, so I did a bunch of testing with the ScanTool OBDLink SX.... it's
better, but
not perfect. It's noticeably faster than the generic one I had, but it still pauses once in a while. I've actually never used a bluetooth ELM327, so I'm not sure how it compares. Is this normal?
I think this setup is ok for FYI type of information, but not critical info that changes rapidly. I'll be using it mainly for things like coolant temp, oil temp, etc, so it's fine for me. I'll be using an AEM failsafe for boost and AFR.
I finally got to play with some of the multimedia capabilities of this unit. Here's a quick summary:
Sirius XM: Not supported
HD radio: Not supported
Analog radio: Average. I've always had poor reception with my Subaru shark fin antenna, so that might be the reason.
MP3 music from SD card/USB drive: Ok
Streaming from Play/Pandora/etc: Ok, depending on your connection and stream
Bluetooth A2DP: POOR audio quality when connected to my iPhone 5s. Have not tried any other phones yet. Same phone doing A2DP to my stock BRZ head unit was great.
Update: Tested on my iPhone 5, same thing.
iPod connection: Not tested yet
DVD video:: Ok
Video from SD card/USB drive: Not tested yet
Video AUX input: Probably won't test...
I'll update this post when I get around to the other things.
And here's how it looks like during the day and night with Torque Pro running:
