OFFICIAL Torque Android app PID/Misc Thread

For the BEST tablet mount for the Nexus 7, visit this post!: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=436

List of confirmed working PID(s) can be found in the second post.
Frequently Asked Questions can be found in the third post.
Custom made themes can be found in the third post.

As many of you know, and I'm sure many of you don't know, there is an App called Torque/Torque Pro on the Android market for Android based devices.

To sum it up, the app allows the user to have access to hundreds of readings from the cars factory sensors, and can allow for data logging and other cool features, you will find the description pulled directly from the app below.

What are the benefits of this app?

Allow for data logging to help with trouble shooting
An alternative to expensive gauges which take time to set up.
Good for anyone that wants a basic idea of what's going on with their cars.

i.e. I plan on mounting a Nexus 7 in my car, for the only purpose of a "Gauge Pod" and maybe the use of navigation. This is actually very similar to the Nissan GT-R's setup. (You can monitor specific readings through the head unit and have the ability to customize it your preference.)

There are various reasons as to why I'm starting this thread;

- The main focus of this thread is to have area where we can discuss the manufacturer specific PID's for OBDII, I'm not entirely sure if FRS/BRZ PID's are the same. The app comes standard with a bunch of features, but to get the good stuff we need access to the PID's which tend to be very hard to get. I'm hoping with the help of the large community we can gain access to PID's like the Engine Oil Temperature (EOT), to be able to have a live reading of our cars EOT. I plan on maintaining a list of PID's that are confirmed to work with our vehicles.
UPDATE: Oil Temp PID has been determined.

- We can also use this thread as a universal thread for anyone having troubles with app, OBDII BT transmitter and other problems.

-Discuss current setups such as your layout on torque, mounts, devices, transmitters.

There's many benefits of this thread, and hopefully with the help of the community we can get access to an advanced list of PID's for our cars.

Here is the app description;

Quote:
Measure BHP, Torque & 0-60
Clear car OBD faults
View engine data in Google Earth

See what your car is doing in realtime, get OBD fault codes, car performance, sensor data and more!
Torque is a vehicle / car performance / diagnostics tool and scanner that uses an OBD II Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU
Layout your own dashboard with the widgets / gauges you want!
It can use the GPS to provide tracker logs with OBD engine logging so you can see what you were doing at any point in time
It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!
Torque also features:
* Dyno / Dynomometer and Horsepower/HP & Torque
* Can read Transmission Temperatures (vehicle dependant)
* 0-60 speed timings - more accurate than just using plain old GPS - see how fast your car is (or truck )
* CO2 emissions readout
* Customisable dashboard & profiles
* Video your journey using the Track Recorder plugin with onscreen OBDII data overlay - a black box for your car/truck!
* Automatically send GPS tagged tweets directly to twitter (for example if you are going on a road trip)
* Massive fault code database for lookup of fault codes from different manufacturers
* Theme support (choose from different themes to change the look of your dashboard)
* Send logging information to web or email CSV/KML for analysis via excel / openoffice reader
* Heads up display / HUD mode for night time driving
* Compass (GPS Based) that won't suffer magnetic interference
* GPS Speedometer/Tracking and realtime web upload capability - see what you were doing and your engine, at a point in time
* Turbo boost feature for vehicles that support MAP and MAF sensors (VW & Golf / Audi / Seat etc supported)
* Alarms and warnings (for example if your coolant temperature goes over 120C whilst driving) with voice/speech overlay
* Car dock support
* Graph data
* MPG
* Able to share screenshots to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Email, etc
* AIDL API for third party apps, A simple Telnet interface for developers to talk to the adapter, and an OBD scanner.
* Works on tablet devices like the Motorola Xoom, Dell Streak, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Nook
Works on any vehicle that uses the OBD 2 standard (most vehicles built after 2000, but can work for vehicles as far back as 1996) if in doubt check with your manufacturer first or look for 'OBD2' on written on a big white label in your engine bay
Works on vehicles made by Ford, VW, GM/Vauxhall/Opel, Chrysler, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Jaguar, Citroen, Peugoet, Skoda, Kia, Mazda, Lexus, Subaru, Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, BMW, Toyota, Seat, Dodge, Jeep, Pontiac and many more vehicle makes, European, US, Far East, etc. Some vehicle ECUs may support more/less features than others
The app needs a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to work. The adapter is small and plugs into the diagnostics socket on the car which gives your phone access. You can find a list of adapters on: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters (Garmin EcoRoute HD adapters not supported)
If you buy one of the cheap china OBD2 ELM327 bluetooth adapters from ebay / amazon, then make sure you have a good returns policy with the seller
Some of the best reliable OBD2 / OBD adapters are the Scantool.net adapter, the OBDKey, and PLX Devices, OBDLink, Bluetooth, ELM327 and other adapters are supported - search on google for them
More features added every release - there are forums at http://torque-bhp.com/forums/ - if you want something added then let me know and I'll try to add it if it is possible! Vehicle ECUs vary in the amount of sensors supported
*PLEASE NOTE* Any reports of hanging or reboots after quitting the app is due to a bug in HTC devices and Galaxy Tab,this can be triggered by using the Pandora/Vlingo/Other BT apps. Disabling Pandoras new bluetooth settings fixes the problem, but HTC/Samsung need to release a fix.Please contact their support and request a fix,Thanks!Changelog:
http://torque-bhp.com/forums/?wpforu...iewtopic&t=3.0
Let's please keep this thread flame free and ON TOPIC.

Frequently Asked Questions:
(Please note: Some of the answers provided are borrowed from other users, not just me.)
Q. How do I add extra PID's?
A. Open the Torque app and then hit the menu button. Select "Manage extra PIDs/Sensors" (should be second from the bottom).

Hit the menu key again and select "Add custom PID". Enter the PID information provided (And a full and short name of your choice).

Hit ok. The parameter will now be available for logging and real time display.

Q. How accurate are the readings, are they trustworthy?
A. Generally speaking any sensor related information should be accurate considering it is coming directly from your ECU. There is a slight lag/delay in receiving the information but nothing major, unless your racing competitively you may want actual gauges. I've tested the Boost and AFR gauges for accuracy in my brothers EVO X in comparison with his in car gauges, the readings I was getting on my tablet matched perfectly his in car gauges. When it comes to WHP that is a calculation based on the car specific information you input into the app, for an accurate reading, you'd to input exact weight, max RPM ect. The same applies to any other non sensor calculations.

Q. Will we be able to monitor Boost levels even if our car isn't a factory forced induction system?
A. Yes it shouldn't be an issue, our MAP sensor is what calculates these values. We are able to monitor our Vacuum produced and Boost is the same value as Vacuum except Vacuum is a negative value and Boost is a positive value therefore it should display real time boost information with any setup.

Q. The PID I've entered is in Celcius can I switch it to Fahrenheit?
A. Yes. To change the read out to Fahrenheit, go to Settings -> Units on the main screen for Torque and uncheck the checkmark that says something along the lines of Display In Celsius. All temperature readouts should change to Fahrenheit correctly.

Q. I don't have an option for OBD header in the custom PID, do I need this?
A. For certain PID's such as Engine Oil Temperature you need to input OBD header information, you'll need to purchase the Torque Pro App in order to be able to enter the OBD header information.

Custom made themes:

    To use it you just need to extrackt the zip-file into the \.torque\themeDir folder. The folder might be hidden, so make sure your filebrowser shows also hidden files.
  • Dashboard:Toyota_GT86_Dashboard_metric_RC1.dash
    Put this file into the folder \.torque\dashboards\, then start Torque and got to "Realtime Information" > "Settings" choose "Layout Settings" and import the Layout/Dashboard.
In the imperial theme there is also 0-60mph time and 1/4 mile time on the "Home Screen".

They look like this:

Getting a Nexus 7 this week, got a Proclip to use with it. Might be trading proclip mount for the beatrush one when it comes out. I think it's an awesome alternative to actual gauges.

There is no glare from the display, it's just the camera with sun right in front of it. Got the charger looped around behind and into glovebox charger. It's slightly in the way of headunit, but all corner touch controls are still operable.


This mount clips where center console joins with dash, and clips in vent. It's a little close to headunit, so I might 'upgrade' to Beatrush's mount that goes in the slit to the right a little.

I'll put pictures up on this post after installation.
I'm waiting for my Nexus 7 to come in the mail, also in regards to pro clip, im curious how much their mount for the nexus 7 mounted on the pro clip would intervene with the HU? Their mount looks nice and sturdy. (Good for abrupt turns/movements ;D)

Edit: I'm also looking into if the app's boost gauge will support aftermarket turbos, because it supports factory turbo setups. Simply because I plan on going down the FI route. I did get some feedback on the Torque forums from a user but idk how reliable his info is.. If anyone can confirm this it would be appreciated. :happy0180:

Quote:
As far I can understand, AVO kit is beeing controlled from your factory ECM, probably your engine already has the needed sensors to measure boost (MAP) and intake air temperature (IAT), the 2 basic params to manage air forced configurations.
Obviously at this moment your MAP only reads negative pressure (vacuum), but probably is able to read positive (boost), and your ECM only requires a software upgrade from EcuTek when you install the turbo kit.
So, if you can already read the MAP vacuum values using an OBD2 tool, after the tune, you will be able to continue reading this data.

Nice setup! Currently AVO is looking into seeing if they can acquire the vehicle PID's via the tunner edition of EcuTek for us ! ;D

hows that seat bolt mount working out? pretty sturdy or does it move around when cornering? I've been looking for some car mounts for my Nexus 7 and this one topped my list.

Ok when cornering, but I was thinking of augmenting it for our third world country roads where I live.

BTW, I've been told PIDs are locked on ECUTek tunes. So unless it's a standardized parameter (ex. Coolant Temp), then you won't be able to access the signal.

Even with the tuner edition of EcuTek? If so this is unfortunate , if this is the case I believe Techstream is the only way..
