I didn't know about the fast communication thing, and I am super gratefull to know it !! I was a bit annoyed of the delay between my revs and the display of the revs on the app, now it is much better, thank you !
Sooo.... you want me to give away my secrets to good audio and Android screen recording???? OK: :) Mic: • an old Audio Technica AT899 and a Tascam 60D XLR audio recorder Android screen recorder: • Mobizen
Great explanation and screen shots. I am using the small blue Bluetooth mini elm 327 OBDII it works perfectly with my android phone. I have an android head unit in my truck it will not connect to the ecu, it will connect to the OBDII. Any thoughts on this. Thanks
Hey Mark P.LeGassey, That is odd... I will assume you have double checked your Torque settings between the head unit and the phone. Maybe try de-selecting "Faster Communication" under OBD2 Adapter Settings and see if that helps. If possible, make sure the Torque Pro version is the same as your phone. And as a last resort, maybe try a different OBD scanner? The Veepeak ones have worked well for me and are a good price. Good luck and please let me know how you make out on this.
Unfortunately, I don't. Maybe I should put one together, but to be honest, I stopped using Torque Pro a few years ago as OBDFusion has features that I use often (ex Diagnostic report, enhanced diagnostics) and with the same scanner, OBDFusion is faster in PID read speed.
I commute 70 miles a day in hot Atlanta traffic. What obd2 bluetooth scanner would you recommend for me to use daily. I would like to keep it plugged in, without worrying about it draining the battery. I also have a 2009 Infiniti g37 sedan. Wanted to monitor my oil temperature in traffic. That's the reason I want to leave it plugged in. I've seen a model on Amazon that's more expensive but doesn't drain battery. What are your thoughts? Great videos!!!
Ok, sounds great. I'm looking at the scangauge2. I know it's $150.00. But I've seen some good reviews & looking for something to monitor my engine oil & transmission oil temperature while I'm driving. I saw where the torque pro offers oil temp but did not see transmission oil temp as an option. Looking forward to your review of bluetooth obd2's. Thanks for the good works.
Sir, My OBDII scanner is not connecting with ECU . I have checked all the settings but still car icon is blinking, remaining all icons are stable, but error still in ecu not connected. Pls guide Me. I have toyota corolla se saloon 2005.
Are you sure your car is OBD certified? In North America, all cars made after 1996/1998 are required to be OBD certified. However, other countries made this mandatory much later. If you look under the hood, there should be an emission/engine information sticker. If you car is OBD certified, it will indicate that. Also, some countries have locked out the OBD system, where only the dealer can get access to the ECU. Other than that, you might have a bad OBD scanner. They have 2 main parts. The communication the bluetooth module, and the vehicle communication side. Just because you can pair with it, doesn't mean it is functional on the vehicle side.
Yes... The paid version of Torque does support USB on android, as long as your android device supports an "OTG" or "on the go cable". Based on the testing I have done, the cheaper "ELM327 USB" OBD scanners are MUCH slower than the OBDLink SX.
Hey J Jack, For any sensor that changes slowly, like temperature. You don't need to see the temperature of the coolant twice a second, since it changes slowly over time. Every 1-2 is still sufficient.
Hey Mior Ahmad Fadhli, Generally, this information (enhanced PIDs) are not listed in any manual. Most of the time they are reversed engineered which is a time consuming process. If you do come across something, just post it here. I check for comments almost every day.
Hey iam_tk, If you are looking for a good Bluetooth scanner, here is a review I did a few months ago. th-cam.com/video/U2zrz7ofFFw/w-d-xo.html Most OBD scanners can be purchased on Amazon.
Hey RamBoZamBo123, I am not sure I understand your comment... For my car ( 2011 Infiniti G37) the idle specification is 600-700 RPM. Other vehicles may be different.
Hey RamBoZamBo123, Ahhhhh, I see where you are coming from. The idle spec for my Altima, G37, BMW 530 are all the same: 650 RPM +/- 50 RPM. I am curious.... what year, make & model idles at 800 RPM?
OBD4 Everyone Never had anything fancy: 1998 VW Passat 1.8t, 2002 Mercedes A 160, 2015 Ford Focus 1.5 ecoboost. All idled around 800rpm as far as I remember. Or at least 750.

Glad to hear that.
It doesn't work with all OBD scanners, and that is why it is off by default.
Two Questions. What sound equipment are you on? I like the sound! Secondly what tool do you use to record your android screen?
Sooo.... you want me to give away my secrets to good audio and Android screen recording????
OK: :)
Mic:
• an old Audio Technica AT899 and a Tascam 60D XLR audio recorder
Android screen recorder:

Anytime :) Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video comparing Torque Pro vs. OBD Fusion?
Unfortunately, I don't.
Maybe I should put one together, but to be honest, I stopped using Torque Pro a few years ago as OBDFusion has features that I use often (ex Diagnostic report, enhanced diagnostics) and with the same scanner, OBDFusion is faster in PID read speed.

Hey jerealms,
Can you wait a week for the new episode? It will answer all your questions :)

Good video. Liked & subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Can I move this from vehicle to vehicle and does it work with jeep?
Yes, and it should work on almost any vehicle made for the US/Canada from 1996.
Sir can we get realtime data of all the sensor on torque pro, dash command brought obd2 usb connection
Yes... The paid version of Torque does support USB on android, as long as your android device supports an "OTG" or "on the go cable".
Based on the testing I have done, the cheaper "ELM327 USB" OBD scanners are MUCH slower than the OBDLink SX.
When would ever use the PID at a slower speed?
Hey J Jack,
For any sensor that changes slowly, like temperature. You don't need to see the temperature of the coolant twice a second, since it changes slowly over time. Every 1-2 is still sufficient.
Hi. Do you have Daihatsu YRV PID code for gearbox temp?
Hey Mior Ahmad Fadhli,
No sir and since Daihatsu are not sold in North America, I don't have any documentation on them. :(
OBD4Everyone not my luck. But if i manage to get the car manual or documentation can u help to check? If yes can i email it to u?
Hey Mior Ahmad Fadhli,

OBD4Everyone hey thanks for the feedback. Need to find a way to get that one. Thanks anyway
How to buying this product

idle at 650rpm?
Hey RamBoZamBo123,
I am not sure I understand your comment...
For my car ( 2011 Infiniti G37) the idle specification is 600-700 RPM.
Other vehicles may be different.
OBD4 Everyone It has been 800 for all my vehicles so far, so I was surprised. Never had a Japanese car before, though.
Hey RamBoZamBo123,
