See what your car is doing in realtime, get OBD fault codes, car performance, sensor data and more!
Torque is a vehicle / car performance / diagnostics tool that uses an OBD II Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU
Layout your own dashboard with the widgets / gauges you want!
It can use the GPS to provide tracker logs with engine logging so you can see what you were doing at any point in time
It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!
Torque also features:
* Dyno / Dynomometer and Horsepower/HP & Torque
* Can read Transmission Temperatures (vehicle dependant)
* 0-60 speed timings - more accurate than just using plain old GPS - see how fast your car is (or truck :))
* CO2 emissions readout
* Customisable dashboards
* Video your journey using the Track Recorder plugin with onscreen OBDII data overlay - a black box for you car/truck!
* Automatically send GPS tagged tweets directly to twitter (for example if you are going on a road trip)
* Massive fault code database for allowing lookup of fault codes from many different manufacturers
* Theme support (choose from different themes to change the look of your dashboard)
* Send logging information to web or email CSV/KML for analysis via excel / openoffice
* Heads up display / HUD mode for night time driving
* Compass (GPS Based) that won't suffer magnetic interference
* GPS Speedometer/Tracking and realtime web upload capability - see what you were doing and your engine, at a point in time
* Turbo boost feature for vehicles that support MAP and MAF sensors (VW & Golf / Audi / Seat etc supported)
* Alarms and warnings (for example if your coolant temperature goes over 120C whilst driving) with voice/speech overlay
* Car dock support
* Graph data
* Able to share screenshots to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Email, etc
* AIDL API for connecting third party apps, A simple Telnet interface for developers to talk to the adapter, and an OBD scanner.
* Works on tablet devices like the Motorola Xoom, Dell Streak, and Samsung Galaxy Tab
Works on any vehicle that uses the OBD 2 standard (most vehicles built after 2000, but can work for vehicles as far back as 1996) - if in doubt check with your manufacturer first or look for 'OBD2' on written on a big white label in your engine bay
Works on vehicles made by Ford, VW, GM/Vauxhall/Opel, Chrysler, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Jaguar, Citroen, Peugoet, Skoda, Kia, Mazda, Lexus, Daewoo, Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, BMW, Toyota, Seat, Dodge, Jeep, Pontiac and many more vehicle makes, European, US, Far East, etc. Some vehicle ECUs may support more/less features than others.
The app needs a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to work. The adapter is small and plugs into the diagnostics socket on the car which gives your phone access. You can find a list of adapters on: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters (Garmin EcoRoute HD adapters not supported).
If you buy one of the cheap china OBD2 ELM327 bluetooth adapters from ebay / amazon, then make sure you have a good returns policy with the seller
Some of the best reliable OBD2 / OBD adapters are the Scantool.net adapter, the OBDKey adapter, and PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth, ELM327 and other ELM adapters are supported - search on google for them
More features added every release - there are forums at http://torque-bhp.com/forums/ - if you want something added then let me know and I'll try to add it if it is possible! Vehicle ECUs vary in the amount of sensors supported
*PLEASE NOTE!* Any reports of hanging or reboots after quitting the app is due to a bug in HTC devices and Galaxy Tab,this can be triggered by using the Pandora/Vlingo/Other BT apps. Disabling Pandoras new bluetooth settings fixes the problem, but HTC/Samsung need to release a fix. Please contact their support and request a fix, Thanks!
Changelog:
http://torque-bhp.com/forums/?wpforumaction=viewtopic&t=3.0
Recent changes:
* FIx for Some Nissan and Volvo S40 ECUs
* O2 sensor fixes
* Trip average LPK/KPL/MPG fixes
* AIDL updates for plugin API
* Other bugfixes (see forums for more)
*Please note*Any reports of hanging or reboots after quitting the app, then you'll need to enable the bluetooth bug 'workaround' in the General Preferences inside the app, this should workaround the hanging. Otherwise check for other bluetooth enabled apps and disable them, one may be conflicting!

That's website for torque the app in the video there is a forum as well there for all the info you need.... app is in Android market just search for torque or obd
There is a paid version about 3 bucks which goes towards development and a free version that is ad supported.
Dev says that a dyno section will be released very soon in the next update..
This app can also see why your check engine light is on and gives link to a website that details the problem and app can clear check engine light
this app works great on my sprint htc hero and i got the bluetooth dongle off ebay for 30 bucks from hong kong including shipping
have had this app for a month or so.. had one hiccup last night and sent the dev a comm debug and he emailed me within the hour and said he would have a fix for my issue asap... well an hour later it was fixed!!!
This app is amazing.. cant wait to see what else will be added and included in future updates!!!

Nice yeah Its definitely a badass top 10 app to have. I just got it a couple weeks back havent been able to use it because my Cobra is parked at the moment the snout of the crank bent and thats a long story but will be rebuilding with in the next two weeks. I wanted to ask weather you have seen the black background gauge theme with the default Carbon Fiber background. I saw it on one video on youtube and havent been able to find it yet. Do you have that background theme gauge option because I know I dont.
Well done Ian Hawkins, this app is (nearly) what I have been looking for. I have only had it one day so my comments are really about the setup and design.
1) Is there any way to move or delete gauges from the dashboard to make room for different combinations? The three blank pages fill up very quickly. If you make a mistake in placing a gauge it is rather tedious to revert to default and start again.
2) Since the app has access to all the required data except vehicle mass, for which we could enter a guess, it would be nice to allow for both kinetic and potential energy stored in the vehicle when plotting fuel efficiency. Otherwise the consumption gauge shows great efficiency going down hill or decelerating and poor efficiency accelerating or uphill which is not very helpful. The overall energy efficiency would be required for that compensation but could be calibrated, like the fuel consumption, using the GPS and accelerometer.
This is perhaps lily-gilding but would make a wonderful app even better.

Hi I was hoping the paid version would provide me with a terminal mode where I could type in my own code and get a response... is it somewhere hidden? If not available, is there an option somwhere to get the VIN and the odometer?

That last post was all messed up.
But how and where did you find the option to display the vehicles odometer reading? I havent seen that option under the 'Realtime Information' screen displays
Well, I have not used this application yet but reviews are looking great. I want to use it in my car but must want to try first any trial version. Please let me know if any trial version of the same is available.
FYI, for those thinking of buying this app, I just bought it today.
I bought a $13 Elm327 off ebay, it got here within 4 days.
I have been throwing money at this used Subaru I bought and was tired of going to the shop or auto parts store to get a code scan done.
I first tried the free version of the Torque app and really liked it so I thought I would spend the $5 to get more helpful features, I was excited....
Then I found it didnt connect anywhere near as well as the free version, dropped bluetooth pairing and the added features dont even seem to work with my vehicle.
I am very disappointed, I expected more and better.
I also actually like the setup of the free version 100% better, it's got a much easier to use interface, yet the paid version looks fancy and if you want to play like you have a race car you may like it, but personally I would stick to the free version if looking just for a code scanner.
