i think i will always be disagreeing with the ultraguage ppl here. IMO $35 for torque with a blue tooth dongle is pretty much the same thing. tho they may get to read something i cant but i can read everything i need. i.e fault codes, hp, torque (from ecm not at wheels obv) temp from intake, oil and cat's, a/f ratio, timing and other fun additions like the ability to display that all on a video of me driving.just my 2 cents tho.
i like my $60 Ultra-Gauge since i never have to mess with it and when i'm on the phone i don't have to guess what my sensors are telling me. also it won't wear out my phone screen prematurely...

What are you suggesting would wear out the phone screen? Can you elaborate on what you mean by wearing out the phone screen?

Using the torque app and your smart phone screen staying on.
Never had to guess what anything was telling me. The only disadvantage of torque is as it is wireless it has slower update speeds but at fractions out a second its not the hugs of a issue . And with my average driving times let's then most ppl play games on these things I think on fine on the screen issue

So how would that wear out the screen? Is your phone using 80s technology or something?

no. its a HTC Rezound. it'd probably be fine, but why chance it when something much better is available.

Post a bigger pic please ^^^
YOU CANT NEVER COULD NEVER WILL!!! CAN WE GET A ROUGUE AT GM TO DO THE DIC A FAVOR AND ADD A TEMP NOMINAL GAUGE AND BOOST AND WHO KNOWS OIL TEMP AND EGT IAT MIGHT BE COOL TOO TO DISPLAY ON THE CENTER OR DIC. TY "CAN'T"? WILL PAY UTMOST RESPECT TO FIRST GM STRATEGY BASED DIAG 1ST START WITH CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. DON'T BLOW MY FUSE. DIC . MAP DIC ECT DIC CHT DIC EGT DIC VALUES??? WE WANT VALUES TO KNOW CRITICAL ENGINE PAREMETERS SIMPLY AND UPON UPDATING FACTORY EQUIP FROM FACTORY TECH.
Think DIC-SS-STREAM XMENU ADD-
OIL PRESSURE,OIL TEMP, BOOST,
EGT, IAT, ECT, ATFT , MIL STATUS DONE
REMEMBER NICE QUALITY ORIENTATION AND REPRESENTATION OF NORMAL VALUE WITH CORRECT GAUGE DISPLAY OF SLIGHT RED ZONE LEVELS WITH THE SWEEP OF BATR OR NEEDLE BEING NATURAL TO HARD FAULT EZ TO NOT MISREPRESENT A UNDESIRED PANIC OR MISSED CATESTROPHIC INDICATOR VALUE.

Dic I can reasonably ask GM to provide the info in a reasonable engine monitoring display arrangement so we know boost and engine temp without any hardware changes please update to include the menu to have one or two more selections allowing oil engine and air values in a reasonable and basic RS type of way.
