Anyone use a plug-in to the car computer?
There are many out there:

I use the free Torque app on my android phone, works quite well and doesn't cause any issues at all. It connects by blutooth to an Elm327 plugged into the OBD2 port.
You can get fancier apps than Torque Free, eg Torque Pro, but they will cost (not much).
Some F-Type owners have experienced battery flattening issues when plugging things in to the OBD2 port, but I have never had any such problem with the Elm327. But get a decent/genuine Elm327 (cost around $30 US I think), there are plenty of cheap Chinese knock-offs out there!
