Torque Pro (Obd2) Android

[jattsta]

As the name states, has anyone used torque pro android app with a obd 2 Bluetooth module?

I ordered a 14pin to obd 2 cable for $7 and elm327 for $18.

This would be awesome to display gauges and also check fault codes on a Samsung galaxy s3.

I tried this combo on my Galaxy S and it seemed to not be able to connect.

Perhaps the newer updates to Torque Pro may have changed something but I haven't tried again recently. I don't think our cars are listed in the models that are compatible.

I now have a Galaxy S2 and recent updates.

I will try again soon.

R33 doesn't have OBD1 or 2 it has Nissan consult - you need something like Ecu talk:

ill give it a crack and see how it goes, will keep you guys posted!

It won't even work on the more modern Nissan's with obd2 plugs, what makes you think it will even plug in to the consult port?

unfortunately it doesnt work

no reading.. only the device flashes and keeps searching and searching ,, but thats it.

Much to my dissapoint, I have to agree. It tries but fails.

Bugger, would've been so handy on my mobile.

Guess I'll just have to get a lappy + ECUtalk etc...

Sigh...

Why not just get an ecutalk display? Quite useful IMO and no need to boot it

So I really wish I had found this page before I bought the cheap ELM327. It works well in my mates Subaru but as noted above, not at all in my Stagea. I wrote a careful explanation to the Chinese ebay vendor this morning... and with inscrutable oriental wisdom and a fake western girls name they wrote back that they had sent me another equally useless unit... if anyone wants a cheap one...

I like Torque and its features ... and I like cheap electronic units... and I hate companies that pervert standards...

But I am talking to HKS and ECUtalk to try another approach.

OB-link looks more like what I want ... cannot imagine the little woman holding the laptop somehow....

[jattsta]

Yeah.. the ELM327 works magnificantlyyyyyyy on my brothers xr6t.. shows boost so accurately that we didn't even bother buying one of those FPV centre console guages.

Exciting times people!!!

[Sarumatix]

OK that is freaken cool. Can't wait! I have ECUtalk but it's a bugger dragging the laptop around, would much rather just be able to bluetooth in from S3 .

[scotty nm35]

I have a new wireless reader that may work, if you want to drop in and try it. Still requires XP though.

Where are people getting their obd connectors and adapters from?

I'd be keen to try torque vs the ecutalk display now that torque are starting to sup post consult !

[MJTru]

To kill all of this someone should just make a device that can convert consult to OBD2 and all is over, Innovative motor sports or any for that matter that uses the obd2 method to monitor through our smart phones. OBD2 is an international standard and it should be easy.

At the very bottom of that link is some sort of device for consult. Worth checking out
