Lol first I thought you were talking about the GT2 RS - and yes I do need one of those in my life!
But yeah that looks really cool, although those adapters look quite expensive - would be nice to get a cheapo one first to see how it works........do you know of any that would do the job for not much outlay?

The really good one is about $100 (but obviously then allows you to do OBD stuff with a PC as well). The supported devices page lists a few that are cheaper eBay specials and 'mostly' work OK.

This looks very affordable, might give it a go - at that price if it doesn't work I wouldn't care if it had to go in the bin

It's quite big though isn't it? Which one is the OBD2 port in the IS, is it the one under the steering column? And if so won't it get in the way of your legs?

Normally you would only have a tester connected for when you're doing diagnosis, but the Torque app requires a constant connection to the ECU so the bluetooth OBD module would need to be connected all the time.

For real time info like mpg and stuff though it surely has to be plugged in all the time?
