Nothing happened until a month ago... After leaving my car sitting for 4 (very cold) days, I found my battery was dead when I tried to start my car. Had to jump start my car, but the battery's been fine ever since. I don't have any other aftermarket electronics in my car that can drain my battery either. |

The cheaper adapters have been known to drain your battery if you leave the car sit too long, if you get a nicer one from scantool.net though they have a power saver mode built in. I have the OBDLink SX that I often leave connected to my car for long periods of time and never had an issue.

Its really a pain. What i was able to get to work.
Install file expert......https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...cxin.filexpert or the hd version for tablet. Once installed, go to the top "settings" button. push that. Now in that screen look for a setting "Show Hidden Folders", make sure that is checked. Now go back to the main screen and make sure you are on the "folders" tab up top. Press "SD Card", You should now see the ".torque" folder in the list. And now you have access to all the folders including the "themeDir" folder that is needed for a theme update.

Go to My Files app >settings >show hidden. Then navigate to all files. You'll see the torque folder. Then unzip and drop the file I uploaded (instructions are in my previous post on how to drop the files in) Sent from my SGH-I317M using Tapatalk

yeah, what i found is that not all file managers have the "show hidden" option. So i actually went through a few before finding one that allows this. That is why its so confusing.

How do I reset the "fuel remaining" widget?
The latest torque update said that they added a button for this, but I can't seem to figure it out. (I currently have -230% fuel remaining lol) edit: I figured it out this morning. when you add a new display item, just scrool all the way to the bottom. There they have an actual reset fuel button which you place on the torque dash. Last edited by CBR600RR; 02-13-2014 at 08:34 AM. |

Opening up a new Topic that's related to use of OBD-II:
Anyone already used OBD's for Trouble Shooting or Diagnosis on their FRS/BRZ? What Fault codes appeared and what action did you take? Torque PRO for it? |

Hey guys, I'd like to ask someone with an ELM327 and an FR-S/BRZ/86GT to try my Android app, Carista OBD2. It should be compatible with those models, but I haven't confirmed it yet. Don't worry, if it's NOT compatible, nothing bad will happen - it just won't do anything.
So, what I need you to do is get the app from Google Play Store, open the swipe-out menu from the left of the screen, and tap 5 times on the "Version 2.0" label. This will launch a hidden debug feature that collects technical data related to supported settings/customizations from the car. When it's done, it'll prompt you to send a report directly from the app - please do that (and make sure you note what car it's from). The first one to send me a report will get free access to the paid features in the app (which are to change vehicle customizations and do diagnostics on Toyota-specific ECUs, not just OBD2 stuff). Just send me a PM here to let me know you've submitted a report. Thanks in advance. Any takers? |
