Write-Up: Torque APP OBD2 Reader

Yea There's there different tranny temp options i think, I put all three on a screen and only one of them read. I'll take a screen shot of it to show you guys

 

That would be awesome, thanks! Sadly, the FSM is light on that information. It's only got the factory tool codes...

 

Leyte huh...good for you. Are you still in? I cant get the tranny temp either.

Found this on Amazon for $26 with free shipping. Interesting.

Phone ap needs to be on to collect and save the data I assume ?
Anyone have issue running multiple aps like map or nav at the same time ?

Still like the idea of stand alone SG or UG.

Feed back from someone using this for round the town and daily driving ?

 

i got mine and plugged into my truck but it wont sync with my phone. it'll "pair" but wont "connect". any ideas?

 

Not sure, I just got mine updated, now I don't haz trannytemp. Might have to wait a bit or try and make them connect with each other

 

I know I had to go into my phones bluetooth settings and make it "Discoverable" versus its default "Invisible" settings to new bluetooth networks and devices

 

Have an extra one, now. Company sent another one after me returning the none bluetooth version thet sent. Anyways, 10 bucks shipped to conus.

Pm if interested

 

FTW!

 

Yes the phone needs to be on but there is a power save mode.
I run nav, car dashboard pro, OBD2 scanner, and google music all at the same time on my HTC EVO and have no issues. Sometimes the music app get sluggish if I'm changing through 20 songs or something fast.

I use this every day to monitor my gas. Which its pretty accurate vs. my math. I got this the second day after I got my truck because I'm a geek and I like to know what my truck is doing.

I love that you can set it to record where you go.. I drove from Phx to Cali and recorded the entire trip. Went back and you can see how much gas your giving, fuel your dumping at times, speed you were going etc. Was a lot of fun to see my driving style vs my wife's driving style on that trip. Turns out I avg about 16mpg, she gets about 19..

I paid 26$ for everything and its really nice, pretty accurate as well and lots of fun. I've checked it to some other scanner software and get about the same readings from them as I do from the Torque App.

The really nice thing is I can just load this to my wife's car, or my other car and check on what I need to know. Each car is different, newer cars have a lot more going on that you can pull data from.

 

I also have an extra one due to the company sending me the wrong one on the first go around. 10 Shipped.

PM if interested.

 

I confirmed you can read the Transmission temp, I had to go in to extra sensors and add in the values but it does work now.

 

Still doesn't work for my 6spd manny though

 

Just ordered one. Quick question if you aren't in your truck can you track where it's been; say if I let my friend drive it without me in it can I track where they are going, real time or after the fact.

 

Ah, yeah not sure about manual. I have Auto and was able to add the sensor.

 

if you leave your phone with the torque app running yes you can track.. Without the app it doesn't track usage. App has to be running and connected to the OBDII scanner for it to work.

 

My transmission temp(Method 3) and coolant temp is always the same. Can you explain which sensors did you add and how did you do it to make it work?

 

So as long as the app is up it'll track the routes my truck is driving whether or not I'm in it with my phone?

 

Since its connected via Bluetooth, your phone has to be in range in order to log any kind of data.
