Droid app and hardware. Any recommendations?

[Tacoma-Robert]

Is there a droid app plus hardware combination that will allow me to plug something into a diagnostic port on my 2013 4cyl Tacoma and see mpg and stuff?

However, I'm seeing reviews that claim that some of these products are shutting down trucks, etc, etc. In other words, computer programmers are writing buggy software, as always.

The bad reviews sound sort of like Windows to me: Plug something into the diagnostics port and it can rewrite stuff in the truck's operating system. Ooops! Oh my gosh, we never thought that would be a problem! :w00t:

So, is there a Droid / Hardware combination that's trustworthy and simply works and doesn't cost a fortune? Alas, this might be a rhetorical question.

People seem to like Torque. You just need a bluetooth OBD 2 reader.

Thanks!

I'm thinking about getting one for my "octane study".

But the cost is kind of more than my curiosity will justify.

I use the torque app on my 09 acc cab sr5 sport and I love it only downside is toyota is secretive about the PIDS but there are some guys on the Internet figuring them out
