My main thing is wanting to run Torque. I have both usb and bluetooth OBDII adapters. Thanks in advance!
PS I have the exact same unit as in the first post
No offence, but I'll go through the basics just in case you are missing something.

Do you have android super user icon when you go into apps? If you do then it is rooted.

Have you plugged in a bluetooth dongle? Might seem a silly question but I thought bluetooth would be internal initially and didn't realise you needed one. Bluetooth dongle neds to be compatible. See my post here for some that are readily available http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=828

Try an app like quick bluetooth or similar to check whether you can turn bluetooth on.

Then, as mentioned earlier make sure the dongle is plugged in before turning the unit on. Also, try it directly plugged into the rear USB cable, not with a hub.
