Yeah I tried looking for car skins, even went on their forums, the only skins I could find just change the color and look of buttons, they don't change sizes or layouts of anything.

I'm having problem with Torque and USB, I plug in USB dongle and torque starts but when I go to select USB device, it says no recognized device detected, I'm using a OBDLINK SX. Any ideas?

In the Torque options, make sure you have USB selected in "Connection Type". Also, you may need to restart Torque and manually choose the USB device if you plugged your SX after you opened the app.

In case it gets recognized, you may need to set the USB baud rate to 38400 in your Torque settings for it to work properly. Some OBDLink devices are set to 115200, which is way too high for them to work properly withot losing connection or data to framing errors.

Yes, I have USB selected for the connection type. I do plug in the USB device with the Torque off, the torque starts as soon as USB device is plugged in, but when i go to choose the USB device from under setup option, it says "no recognized device detected" I have already rebooted the Dashlinq and still no luck. I'll try the baud rate, I have it setup on "auto", I'll change it to 38400 see if that helps. thanks

Would be nice if SHIFTER could add this to the OP. I'm sure that many could benefit from reading through this.

First, you need root access.
Once you're rooted, download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...e.fmount&hl=en

What foldermount does is essentially creates a link to your external USB mounts (that are not scanned by the system "media storage" app, that most music players use to detect music) and puts those links inside your internal sdcard folder so that media storage can scan those files!

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check it out. If you could do a quick write up in the above mentioned Google Doc it would be a good reference for others.

DriftEm, I have not understood, you connect bluetooth in Dashlinq "Settings" -> "Bluetooth"? I It is necessary to find the device (OBD adaptor), to enter PIN, then to establish connection. Then to establish connection in Torque

I'm not using Bluetooth, I'm using USB OBD2. [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZWM0R4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon.com: ScanTool 425801 OBDLink SX USB: OBD Adapter/Diagnostic Scanner for Windows: Automotive[/ame]

1. Does anyone know why my external USB port is failing to connect to my android device and ipod? It's not so much a problem as I can listen to all my music via bluetooth but I still hope to use that port as a charger for my devices. With my old stock HU it would work.

2. How do I watch movies on this HU?? Do I need some sort of video app, which app would you recommend? Is it possible to load a movie via bluetooth or do I need to save the movie onto an SD card?

As you can see i'm pretty much a tech-noob. Any help would be much appreciated.

There are tons of video player apps for Android. My personal favorite is MX Video Player (name may not be exact, but it's MX something; icon is a black orb with a blue "play" symbol in it).

I've actually downloaded that app but I cant figure out how to load movies in it... do I still need to have the movie in the SD card or something?

Or USB, yes. I don't know of any that work over bluetooth.

MX player is good. Would pickup anything on USB or sdcard iirc.
As far as using port to charge phone that isn't the best. Three most you will get out of that port is likely 460 to 500ma. Hardly enough to sustain charge with screen on. Get a cigarette adapter and pump 2000ma to your phone.
