Default TorquePro

Does anyone use it? If so how accurate is it?

For those of you who havent heard of it its an app for android that connects to a bluetooth obd which is plugged into your dianostics socket and can tell you live engine information like bhp, 0-60 times, actual running temp etc. This can all be read on your phone or tablet.

The app is £3 and the obd is £8.

I use it. Good for boost measurements and error code reading and clearing.
Also a cool video plug in available.

Not sure how well it works on a 99/00 classic as it's not fully obd compliant.
I can't use it on the scoob as running an apexi.
It works fine on the leon and was also ok on the hawk sti.

Thanks for heads up scott so do you mean it might work on the classic as dont have apexi like yours
like this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-To...d=505339444744

or this type wont plug in anyway or is there something different i can buy to do the same thing for a reasonable cost???

looking further into this and understanding a bit more see it goes from ssm to odb so not looking hopefull but have you actually tried to see if any functions of the torque pro app worked before the apexi???



http://torque-bhp.com/forums/?wpforu...ewtopic&t=67.0 says new version of torque pro automatically changes protocols to ssm????? but most people say still not fully working

Thanks

Dave
