Sorry for the time between posts here guys.

Just an update, got the dongle, works very well with the car with the Torque and app it comes with to show lots of readouts. Looks a bit NFS when you have it loaded up on your phone!

I haven't got round to testing the remote start yet mainly because I read this review of the app

"Didn't start the engine! For my Holden Commodore it could lock and unlock the doors but it didn't start the engine...and when I attempted to turn off the engine using this app it affected the ECM and the engine stopped responding to the accelerator pedal. Luckily I managed to reprogram the ECM and the car is fine now."

So given I really didn't want to end up in this situation on my own, I will give it a test when I see Rusty next week as I hope he would be able to get it going again if this did happen!
