Hi all, ive installed an app on my Nexus called Torque Pro, its a OBD interface bit of kit.

More can be found here https://market.android.com/details?i...l.torque&hl=en

Its used with a wireless OBD2 adaptor.

Has anyone used this program? and is it much cop ?

Cheers

Shaun

 

i have it and its excellent, you can also download an extra add on called recorder where it records you from the camera with the map and dials overlaid.

 

Cheers

Do you know what bluetooth OBD2 adaptor you got, i don't want to buy a cheapo one that doesn't do the job

 

Yes I have it on my s2 and my tablet
Bought the obd adapter from ebay for £12
Really easy to use and highly recommend.

 

ebay one but works great even clears the codes if the ecu light is on.

be careful with some of the adapters on ebay, some are cheap for a reason! (I got one for my mondeo st and it wouldnt work, turns out the particular type I bought isnt fully obd compliant)

Got a different type which works perfectly and torque is a great app (get the paid version for more features)

 

Is this on Android? If so whats the name of app?

 

Anyone tried the hardware from PLX?
I've been thinking about them for gauges also...

 

Ok i have found it on the Android market


But will this work with the v5-6 classics??

 

its called torque and it connects to the obd2 port via a bluetooth adaptor. so if your car has this port it should work

 

I use Rev for the iPhone (pretty much the same app but for iPhone) and use it with a £20 wifi adaptor from eBay with no problems.

 

Yea I've used it with the cheepo one off eBay and its fine

 

Mint

 

yep it works well for me. I like the recorder function too. I use it on my S2 with a cheap elm obd dongle from amazon £20ish IIRC.
I use it mainly for the mpg and data logging as the realtime gauges are a bit too laggy to be useful.

 

Ive ordered one from amazon, will let you know how i get on with it.

 

Will this work on MY03STI and if so where does it plug in?

 

yes it plugs in the obd2 socket which is under your dash on the drivers side.
you need the bluetoooth adaptor froe ebay and the torque ap on an android phone.

 

Thanks, I have a iPhone. I might look into this. Are they any good or just a gimmic?

 

very good but the torque ap is android only i think.
there is a ifail version but i forget what it is.

 

"iFail" very good. I think it is called Rev for iPhone.

 

Very unlikely, as classic's are not OBDII.

 

Anyone know any other good aps ??

 

Hi
does anyone know if this is compatable with 2007 impreza sti

 

yes it is, i have used it on my hawk with no probs before

 

Have just set up my (standard) 01 wrx wagon on torque pro. Mint. Have it on my android tablet with loads of tuning stuff like afr, boost, temps etc. Also have it on my phone so when I'm driving normally it gives me a great fuel computer. If I flick upwards on the screen it gives me boost/vac and "horsepower" readout. Only just played a bit but it's good so far.



Short drive, 34mpg is not so bad i think



Whist driving a bit harder

 

Anyone fancy creating a theme with green numbers and a red needle to match my dash ? I have neither the skill or patience to even try .

 

dont think you can create themes CharlySkunkWeed

 

I have an iPhone and searched torque pro,
This was what came up or nearest I could Monday to match?
Correct one?
Cheers Chris

 

Do you know which of these work with iPhone and iOS?
Cheers again

 

I'm not an iFail user, but I think that oLD needs to connect via WiFi as it does not work on Bluetooth. A lot of android apps are written in linux and ported to android then built from there up. Apple charge app developers to make apps so often they don't bother.
If you don't have an android phone, maybe buy a cheap 7" android 4.0 tablet, and a dash / windscreen mount and use it for the sole purpose of torque. They are less than 50 quid. Make sure it is fully market compatable though.
Also. I have the elm 337 1.5 full size ons adapter (orange and blue sticker) and it works fine but sticks out of my port under the steering wheel and I bash my knees on it whilst getting in and put the car. There are mini versions available, I have just ordered one. I'll leave it plugged in and it will sit in the recess for the port. I'll use my full size one on other vehicles. Not essential but for the sake of a tenner I'll just leave a mini one plugged in all the time.
There may be an iOS version out there. Don't take my word for it.
