I have had the same one you just ordered for the past 2 and a half years. I've used it on my previous 2011 EB and my current 2013 EB without issue. I've also used it on numerous co-worker, family, and friends vehicles to pull engine codes, make sure they will pass TX emissions, etc.

That one works very well.

Is Torque App made for Iphone? If so are there any suggestions of Bluetooth OBDII connectors to get. The BAFX model is not compatible with iOS platform it says.

Looks like options are really limited for iPhones and iPads. Search the App Store for "odbii" and you'll get a few results. For the iPhone specifically, the best option seems to be an app named "ODB2 Scanner" by Bars for $4.99

If you have an iPad, I saw someone recommending "ODB Fusion" in the review comments for ODB II wifi dongles on Amazon. From those same reviews, I et the impression that wifi dongles are finickier to set up & connect w/ iOS devices. I have an iPhone & an Android tablet so I'm going to try the Android route first.

For any iPhone or iPad, the better ones are DashCommand and Rev. The DashCommand app used to be $50 freakin bucks and Rev was a bit cheaper. I have heard they have dropped the prices, but I don't use any IOS devices anymore so I don't know for sure.

The Wifi OBD2 (bluetooth won't work on ios) plus the cost of those apps was ridiculous to me. Neither app worked as good as Torque does or gave as much info or provided as much customization options either. I've used them all and Torque is the best fit for what I want.

FYI, I just looked this up in the App Store. Base price is $9.99 and there are $9.99 "in-app" purchases for certain make/years ("2013 Ford"). Not quite sure what that's all about.

Can you access the tire pressure info with Torque? I've seen it on aftermarket HU displays so I know it exists but I didn't see it as an option on Torque's web page.

Yes. Maybe. Of you can find the pid there is a good chance it will work if the Staten supports it. I have never seen a valid paid so either it is unsupported or we just don't know it.
