Just a quick update on testing:
The only app I could get to work with cable was TuneECU - this still showed a lag similar to Bluetooth, no difference really.
I tested Torq Lite and OBD Mary - these would only connect with the Bluetooth, no capability to work directly off cable
Performance similar to TuneECU, significant lag on the RPM
Per the
Torque wiki the Torque Pro version will work with USB adapter but I wasn't inclined to purchase just to see a comparison (OK it's only $5 - but still!
)
Even though the wiki specifically states Torque Pro (and there was no setting OBD Settings menu in the light version for USB), what was at odds with above procedure is that with app closed, and connecting the USB adapter it did not open the request pop-up window asking which app to use.
I could not use it with my phone as the USB adapter is different config from my Tablet
p.s. I should also add that my bike uses an older ECU by Sagem (as opposed to Keihin on the R3's) - this itself might contribute to some of the lag with cable on TuneECU, however I'm still reasonably confident that the Bluetooth even on the R3 would be laggy (similar to the video shown); however that is not to say that a wired USB option might not be better?
