Cheaper to get the paid Torque to try out...

Update: I just figured out that the Torque "Pro" app was pre-installed on my Joying head unit and is probably a cracked version. I knew I didn't pay for it on the Play Store, so I assumed it was the lite version until today.

The thing is now i have both apps, but i think the problem is from the OBD adapter, so i ordered a new one from a different source and that has 2 PCBs instead of one and is already more than x2 the price of the single pcb one which is similar to the adapter i already have.

So I researched for your adapter the "Veepeak...", seems that its a 2 PCB adapter, like the one i just ordered.

so let's see if this PCB thing is the one that differentiate the good adapters from the bad ones (or with less features, so we dont assume)

Interesting observation. Good luck with the new OBD reader!

Somewhere in related posts I learned about the Android app called ELM327 Identifier. This may be helpful in evaluating the quality of a chinese clone ELM327 device. It tests a device's responses to the eleven different versions of the ELM protocol released to date.

Results


I lucked out. My cheap eBay knock-off purchased 5+ years ago passed all but the v2.3 tests - which makes sense since that was released only 3-4 years ago.


My device has an an arbitrary MAC address, which can be an easy way to spot an imposter (as opposed to 11:22:33:aa:bb:cc or similar). But it does report as an ELM v1.5 device, which was never actually released by ELM.

Does your adapter have 1 or 2 pcbs ?
