Just add the GM pack that comes with it. Does knock counts, knock retard, everything. You can customize gauges to alert at certain values, audio alerts, the whole nine yards. I've been using this for years, and it's the best $40 I've ever spent on my car.
Works on EVERY post '96 car I've plugged into, from BMW's, GM, ford, VW, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Diesels, you name it.
You can check and reset codes as well.

How are the refresh rates? Even when using a GM capable scanner the refresh rates are slow. Have used Genesis, Pegasys, Mac and some Snap On. The refresh rates/screen rewrites are too slow for RPM and MPH. Off course this is normally with a full data stream. Cans capable scanners have better rates, but the ALDL and early OBDII serial rates tend to be slow.
Would be cool to watch misfire data on a larger screen when looking at 6 or more cylinders. Along with the other data. The more data up at one time the slower the rate.

Torque has some neat displays, like one that is a graph. So you could display what you want on a graph and it would capture it and keep it up for display for a while.

Took me a big of digging to figure that out. May r Ryan can add the step of adding the gm parameters set to the pids after loading torque scan

Yes, it does knock retard - at least it does on the OBD2 3800 PCM's I've tried it on thus far (1998 and 2003).
After you install Torque Pro, download and install the TorqueScan plug-in (as directed to do in my original post).
Once you fire up Torque Pro, it will automatically connect to your PCM and scan for all valid PIDs on its own. YOU will still need to set up manually the gauge displays for the data PIDs you want to watch in real time, and you'll have to manually add whatever PIDs you want logged to the logging list when you set up the logging function (all of this is explained in my original post). But that is the extent of what you will have to do "manually". You should NOT need to add any "addresses" for any custom PIDs or anything like that. Knock Retard is already in the PID list you get with the TorqueScan plug-in.[This message has been edited by Darth Fiero (edited 03-12-2013).]

Once you get the app installed make sure it is updated to the latest version available thru the Play Store. Make sure it can connect to your ELM interface and read data from your PCM. The TorquePro app can do GPS logging and acceleration based performance calculations, but you have to set up a vehicle profile in order to get this information (there's no need to set this up in order to scan and log data).
Once you are able to connect, you need to do a few things to get it set up so it will log data.

Of course guys you will have to "pair" your phone with the bluetooth device you do buy before it will communicate.

I have been using this one with no problems so far. It did take like a month to get, they actually sent it via "slow boat".

I don't have my bluetooth unit yet, I ordered the one in your link, it should be here by the end of the week. I didn't realize that the program would automatically pull in the GM PIDs. I was looking thru the list after I installed Torque scan and didn't see them. SInce I don't have by BT unit yet, I haven't connected to a GM vehicle, and so they didn't get pulled in.
I was able to add them by going to Settings > Manage Extra PIDs > Menu: Add predefined Set > "Pontiac / GM / Opel / Vauxhall"

Yea, I would wait until you get your interface. Once you have that and connect with the PCM, Torque Pro will poll the PCM for all valid PIDs. In the master PID list menu, anything that is valid will be shaded in green. Anything black isn't supported.
