Torque should eventually automatically switch back to slow mode (it won't change your default settings though) each time it notices that the adapter cannot do faster rates, however you will notice it 'stutter' or 'pause' getting data as it encounters comms errors (and works around them)

If you get a good adapter, then you're lucky! as the the speed boost at getting the data is quite appreciable. Unfortunately it is a matter of chance what you get.]]></content:encoded>

It works fine with torque using standard rate coms, if set to fast i get errors.

I havent tested all the standard pids installed but i don't get any data for fuel tank level or pressure on my Sorento  and I'm struggling to find any specific ones for the model.

Needless to say i bought the paid app anyway for what it costs, your work is much appreciated.]]></content:encoded>
