Follow up question: Are the apps/devices that connect to your car's computer worth the money?

Cute.

I use Android Auto, and I don't know what I would do without it, and it's free. It's a real timesaver if your commute to work is a long one.

Those aren't wings.

My favorite is the Pittsburgh Parking App. Not only never need quarters again, but also tells you realtime availability at lots operated by our parking authority.

Dashlane - stores all my passwords in one easy to access location

Edit: how I did not include Waze is beyond me, best app ever

Thanks, downloaded and will test it as I drive to Durham this afternoon.

Waze is my favorite app.

Not sure what you mean by connecting to computer. I assume you mean to the diagnostic computer? I got one when I had my BMW and it was very helpful. Autozone and Advanced Auto will come out and check codes in your car for you, so it's certainly not a must.

Is Waze better than google maps?

Much better, imo.

Is Waze better than google maps?

It's the best at avoiding traffic, but not the smoothest GPS app (eg, your positiong when turning/re-routing when you miss a turn). Must have for Fairfield County

Google bought Waze, which is an Israeli company. The traffic information in Google maps comes from Waze. But Waze provides a lot more real time information, and is constantly updated. It provides locations of police, pot holes, cars on the side of the road, traffic slowdown locations etc.

I purchased a OBD2 wireless car sensor that plugs into my cars computer, and then use a tablet that connects to it via wifi produced by the device. I use TORQUE I believe that creates a customized dashboard that gives real time outputs from the cars computer (boost, fuel pressure, mph, rpm, engine temp, etc etc etc.). If, of course that is what you are referring to by the cars computer.

As a serial speeder and habitually 'late for appointments and flights' guy, the real time updates have proved invaluable.

As the father of a 4-month old, The Wonder Weeks is currently my favorite app. Tells me when the little guy is going through "leaps", explains each stage of his mental/physical development, and tells me when to expect extra fussiness.
