TORQUE OBD 2 App

[rotabeast]

Just looking for opinions on this app - http://torque-bhp.com/software/torque-android-obd2-adapters/

Install the app on the phone then connect to Bluetooth module to view diagnostics.

Relative to some of the more main stream diagnostic viewers (Blitz, Apex'i etc) is it accurate?

DC5 uses the JOBD protocol, may not been compatible. Most generic ODB2 scanners etc don't work on the DC5.

there are more of these things, looks cool. i wish that hondata could write a programm to use with the kpro and get that data on a display.

What's the difference between JOBD and OBD2?

 

[Torque-GT]

JOBD is a version of OBD-II for vehicles sold in Japan.

Does anyone have experience of using a Blitz R-Vit or something similar? Does it work? Sorry if these are blonde q's! :unsure:

the kpro can have a data (mulitplex type) output, dependant on the type of mapit contains. it will work with digi dashes like the AIM ones. but it only displays the data you can get with the obd type readers. blitz rvit or apexi units for example.

OBDII works fine on my DC5.

OBDII works fine on my DC5.

It seems work with some scanners and not with others, depends on the protocols used I think.

Yeah, possibly. Decent bit of kit though. Cost me £15 of ebay. :xgrin:

The Torque App for Android is brilliant. Works perfect on my DC5. Use it all the time

I use mine with an ELM324? Bluetooth OBD adapter I bought off ebay. Have used it on loads of cars to read fault codes, reset engine management lights etc.

[donkeykong]

is it compatible with iphone torque app?

 

[woody73]

Couldn't say as I'm on Android - sorry

 

[Croccy]

The adapter is just acts as a standard Blutooth serial port so should work fine with the iphone. I have used mine on android, windows and on my old nokia 770

 

[lujamil]

I got this adaptor the other day, the light comes on in the adaptor but phone can't find the adaptor. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
