Torque Pro Working on Parrot Asteroid Smart - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey Guys,

Well after almost 2 months of waiting for Chinese grade OBD II Adapters I can safely say Torque works perfectly on the Parrot Asteroid Smart v2.1.1.

Here's a video:

Awesome! Been using it for quite a while now and it's really great on the Parrot.

my adapter arrived last monday as well... and connected without issues
I haven't spent that much time yet configuring much though, what are some of the cooler/useful things to graph?

@sav - If you get a chance I'd dig to see some of your dial setups

@Vladror - So far I'm using the standard layout, coolant temp and custom oil temp, and some of the fuel measurement gauges with intake pressure/ temp.

I'm seriously considering investing in a more expensive branded OBD 2 adapter just to see the difference.

Nice!! Love the Torque App, and you've got it really nicely laid out.

One day I'll ask you to convince me why I should buy a Parrot (which I think I should), but maybe that must wait a bit, and go in the queue behind an S/C.

I use a Samsung phone, and I've got 8 displays configured on a single page.
Quite easy to fit a lot on a page if you use some digital displays, some analogue, and overlay them.

Grrr, today my oil temp display decided to go on the blink.
It's been working perfectly, but now my oil temp stays at 29°, and no, I didn't fit an oil cooler.

Thanks, yeah the Parrot really is worth it. Resolution is not huge though so it can't find a lot of display. I prefer them uncluttered though and usually leave it running on this screen:

I just like the effortlessness of this setup - switch car on and within a couple of seconds torque is running in the background. Slide the notification center down, tap and your in Torque.
