OBD Fusion (iOS and Android) do not support extended PIDs, so we can't get oil temp and other data. I emailed the developer and he had concerns about some ECUs doing weird/dangerous things when extended PIDs are enabled.

Torque Pro (yes, Android only) with the Nissan/Infiniti EX plug in are the best options.

ELM327 2.1 will not give faster sample rates, it has added new commands for the CAN bus. The connection protocol/ecu response rate determines how fast we can data log via OBD2.

I have 5 different OBD dongles and the data logging sample rate (PIDs/second) varies from an average of 5 to 35 per second. Buying cheap OBD dongles from Amazon & ebay is a gamble. The fist purchase I got lucky at an average of 24 PIDs/second.

Interested in this thread for sure. I plan on getting the ECU Connect with EcuTek when I get retuned. It seems like it will be very valuable for track days instead of lugging a laptop around and worrying about how to secure it when tossing the G around corners.

I have a BlueDriver dongle and their IOS app. I bought it to investigate and clear the recurring P0420 that my '02 Subaru would throw. Will the BlueDriver dongle work with Torque? I have a Nexus 7 that I can run Torque on.

Hello is it possible to erase this "Pop Up Hood" error with Torque Pro and its plugin "Advanced EX for Infiniti" ? this error comes each time the front bumper is removed (for paint).

Thanks for any help

AFAIK, Torque only sends a clear codes command. So unless you're throwing a code, I doubt it will work.
There probably isnt a fuse for that lught specifically you could pull. Alternatively you could find the hood open sensor and trick it, its probably similar to a fridge door light switch.
