The ELM327 is just a real-time data transmitter. You plug it in, and when it works (I often have to unplug it and plug it back in if I’ve turned the car off since the last time I connected Torque...though I don’t know if that’s a device issue or an app issue) it sends your phone the data that’s sent over the OBD-II…

I LOVE broken links in my Start Menu!!!

Compass, yes. GPS, no. It also shouldn’t permanently affect the compass, but it could cause erroneous readings while using the mount. If you require 100% accurate compass readings while you’re driving, this might not be a good mount to get. But your phone’s navigation apps have other ways of determining direction as…

“Infinitesimally” cooler is effectively not cooler at all, since it implies it’s cooler by an extremely small amount approaching zero. Something like this would be really awesome though.

The browser doesn’t do it for you. A shortened URL sends a request to the URL-shortener’s server, which then redirects you to the original URL. On the network I’m on, the URL-shortener’s domain is blocked so that that request can’t be sent.

Here’s the long URL for people who have trouble accessing these needlessly shortened links.

And the coach deferred to the family’s judgment, who truly were in a position to make that decision.

You guys are making me poor.

Is it really that difficult to turn the car off and on again using the key? My tC will start in gear, so long as the clutch is depressed, so the entire process of stalling-restarting-moving takes no more than 2 seconds. Not that this isn’t a cool feature, I just don’t know if I’d consider it a feature worth paying for.

Hopefully this also encourages developers to state EXACTLY why they want to use every permission the phone has to offer on their simple calculator app. Tell me what part of the app will not work if I don’t let your app use my microphone.

Well, he knows more about teeth than I do, so probably.

Now it’s up to $80.08. I guess it’s just slowly creeping up throughout the day

You should still have a budget, even if you spend less than you make. The focus of it will simply be different. You should be earning interest in some capacity on the remainder. So instead of deciding what to spend money on this week, you can budget where to earn more money or set up some saving goals.

Well now I know why the jeweler last week was so insistent that I finance my purchase through them. She was otherwise fine, but she was extremely pushy about that, even though I told her several times I would pay for it in full that day. So I just went somewhere else.

I feel the same way, but I absolutely love the conveneience of the mPow magnetic grip. Which is why this weekend, I’m going to be modifying my center console and putting magnets in it, to keep the vents clear and still allow me to use the awesome magnetic mount.

I just see this as extremely unsafe. First, any time you get some notification, it’s right there in front of your face being a distraction. And if you’re someone who’s tempted to use the phone while driving, this will just make it all the more accessible. Second, unless you’re a tall person who can see over, it’s…

I was going to ask this exact question. I’ll just keep using my corded version :)

I’m curious about this too. I have the RavGear version of this, and it’s awesome as a router and external battery, but the media streaming isn’t so much “streaming” as it is “downloading the entire file to your device and then watching it on there.” At least, that’s the experience I’ve had on Android with the file…

Does anyone know why gel sole inserts are not permitted? I think I understand all the rest, but not that one.

I paid nearly twice that for half that with Cox cable. That deal is awesome.
