I haven't read the entire thread yet, but I ran a search and didn't find what I needed...

How can I determine what are the real HP and Torque numbers and what are the "not real" numbers?

Mine are obviously off on occasion. During a testing run today, at one point Torque Pro showed 568.584 hp and 826.231 torque on a stock motor.

That's obviously a misread and I disregarded. However, I also showed numbers that were upper range of "normal" and obviously too high, but not that ludicrously high. Such as (at different times and no particular order):

Torque of 128, 129, 135, 147, 152, 165, 177, 182, 212

HP of 155, 158, 163, 170, 220, 237, 269

I think the lower ones could be legit, but the higher ones obviously aren't.

I realize the app is hardly a dyno reading, but is there any way I can guess the best spot to throw out the invalids and/or get the app to stop spitting out numbers that are more than 25% too high?

Hi all, really big fan of Torque but I've oft been disappointed at the stock themes that come along with the app. Instead of whining, I decided to be at cause and invest some time in modifying an existing theme to better match our platform.

Essentially the dials are from the "Bulletproof" theme that comes along with the app, only the colours have been changed and the font as well. To install, follow the instructions from Torque here

I've also included the Toyota "T" pseudo-carbon fibre background image, you'll have to install this manually through the app and direct it to the image (move it into your images folder of your device). Thanks to @ML for the share, I duplicated the image to minimize the size of the logo + increased the contrast to make it less noticeable and blend into the background.

Remember that the ".torque" folder is default hidden - go to your files app and menu > show hidden to reveal.



Decided to use Orange/White with minimal Red to be easier on the eyes. I've always really enjoyed the orange accents on the dash (usually the dreaded CEL and other icons as well as our super duper advanced digital clock).

RAR file for theme: FR-S theme

Enjoy!

He means the oil pressure sensor only tells you if there is pressure, it won't tell you how much pressure there is.

I cant seem to get the oil temp to work. I added the custome PID but it isnt reading anything. All the other readings see to be working. Could it be the adapter?

The software it comes with, OBDwiz, is nice too. Still paying with this, more later, running around town with a laptop is a pain.............

Their android app, OBDlink has some cool features.....being able to change the display type without deleting it first is real nice.
If you don't plan to use it on a Ford/GM car, you can get a lower-priced version of that one: http://www.scantool.net/obdlink-lx.html

I'm going to order it because my cheap Elm one is starting to shut off or disconnect at random.

Can you post a comparison video so I can see if it is actually faster than the cheap eBay ones?

Hello to all!!

I recently bought an ELM327 Bluetooth obd2 adapter (Amazon.com)...

All work perfectly, torque is fantastic and easy to use...

I have one question... when i leave the adapter on my obd2 port and the car is off, the adapter is a littlebit hot, seem's some current is in it even the car is off...

Do you think i could have problem with the battery of the car?

Thanks!

I just bought mine's last week.. bought the LX version though, not the MX. I can confirm it does work better than the cheap Elm327 from Amazon. Rereshes at least 2X faster from what I can remember visually of the Elm one.
