I would say having a basic OBDII mini Bluetooth adapter in the car at all times is a cheap simple backup and last resort before relying on AA breakdown & recovery type services... it gives you symptoms to what could be wrong when there's none you can recognise yourself... I got an O2 sensor warning from my OBDII unit whereas I got just a generic check engine light from the car's dash... turned out flawing it down the motorway fixed the O2 sensor no problem... (advice from friends and Google) (O2 sensors help with fuel to air ratio for maximum fuel efficiency, but sometimes they break or just get clogged with crap) so yeah this is great for taking back control over your car & avoiding unessential trips to the mechanic/garage or failing your next MOT!
I had a Engine Malfunction warning on my ford kuga. ford wanted £75 to investigate and keep overnight even though they said it might be nothing and just reset which would be additional.i bought the app & dongle and the code fault was just oil had deterioration. I hit the clear fault codes and all is normal for £18
J Maddox My car was getting high rpm's in between gear shifting because the alternator was dying. Eventually it died while I was driving, but that doesn't shut down the car engine, which surprises me.
travis please read about your car as when the alternator packs up the engine is drawing power from your battery which is charged by the alternato ,but as the alternator is broken the battery will eventually go flat and your car will stop
Bought this app. Doesn't show me fault codes. Showing turbo bust in some weird parameters that I don't understand. Try to change it to bars and it got even more wired ) useless
Good morning , since i see that you are knowlegible i would like to ask you a question : Do you have any ideas why it is not reconizing my Peuget 206 HDI . Is asking me to go in setting but i do not know how to acess the setting of Torque program .Thank you for your time in any case . Ermanno
I meant can I connect to a WiFi adapter from an Android device, as i'd read iOS is WiFi only, and Android is Bluetooth only. Don't matter anyways now, as I've connected my iPhone to the adapter I had bought. Thanks anyway for the response :)
I purchase OBDII as well torque application, and additional application for Renault sensors, and everything work well, but when I did diagnostic and I know for sure that my sensor for airbag on steering wheel don't work application didn't show that. I check for the sensors that torque monitoring and I didn't found that sensor in application, but I found some sensors that I think my car don't have. My question is, can I reassign some of them for this sensor and what is your experience whit this issue. Thank you.
+Tomislav Efremovski Many cars have different modules in a car computer. Transmission, engine, and most recently body. OBD standard does not include body and transmission issues that I know of. Auto manufacturers also are not compelled to give source codes and addresses of non OBD compliant architecture. Meaning the sensor outputs that you are looking for are hidden or not known. Someday somebody might hack the sensor your looking for and help you reassign, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Wow, it was so long ago... I think it was a Kia Ceed. Actually a very reliable and reasonably spec'd car. Surely most dashboards look like that these days?
I don't like how your torque REQUIRES a data connection to be able to use it... my old phone no longer has service but torque installed... won't let me use it... BAD FEATURE!!!!!!
Rick Dangerous Whaaaat??????? how the heck else would YOU get live data without a data connection? Sorry to say this but that is properly the dummest comment ever. U really got a lot to learn but Torque is THE APP specially for SuperCar drivers I love it being able to read boost from compressor and Intake so I know the intercooler pump is 200% operational full boost producing 613 HK this is for the 300km+ ;)
It looks like you are learning about this app along with showing it to your viewers. Instead of explaining/reviewing it to us. Learn its ins and outs and than show it to us.
