Not sure why Torque is doing it now, but it didnt seem to happen with the old firmware.

I tried flashing back to the v3 firmware and still had the same issue, anyone have any ideas on why this might be? I checked to see if carit_version2 had been restored but it was still missing - If someone could send me the file again that might fix the issue potentially?

Please pm if you still have this file - Thanks in advance!

V3 will not restore the carit_version2 file - it was only added in v4 to allow USB cables that appear as serial ports to the operating system to be used. If you are not using a USB Serial OBD2 cable, you don't want a carit_version2 at all!

I have always found the BT to be a bit unstable - I'm not sure if it is because of interference, lack of USB power, quality of the BT dongle, being inside a metal car etc...

Make sure that the BT USB dongle has enough power. Don't use it off a hub (if you use a hub, make sure that it is a powered one).

Make sure that you installed Quick Bluetooth, and used that to set up the BT pairing with the OBD2 dongle. Make sure you pair the device before attempting to use torque.
