Obd bluetooth adapter with tablet?

[d_rock10030]

I was thinking of doing a setup like this in my 97 GSX:

Nookcolor tablet hacked. Any android phone tablet with bluetooth
Torque app
ob2 bluetooth adapter

My question is will this setup work for a basic realtime code reader and monitor/gages... will the bluetooth obd adapter work in our vehicles?

This is the same setup that I found online done to a 3g eclipse:

Do you need to hack/crack the android tablet? Torque works just fine on my HTC Evo.

Nope, anything running an android os should work... I would have to hack the nook color in order to upload an android os so that i can run the torque app on it.

Might be better to use a Kindle Fire HD. You can get it with a bigger screen than the Nook, plus it has a cleaner look (no funky corner thing). Plus it already runs an Android OS. Just allow third party apps, install a new launcher and override the stock Amazon one. I don't see why the OBD2 bluetooth adapter wouldn't work, a coworker uses it on his Durango and it runs great.
