So, there is no user’s manual or manpage for this thing ? I’ve searched all over here, and I find a link which is broken, and something that looks like the start of a wiki page. Just a basic description of the screens and what the icons mean ?

just go on the main page
and click on adapater status
you have what you need in plain text

ps…people these days ..asking for a 200$ service on a 5$ app

just by looking at the logo i can deduce this

1 gps active
2 bluetooth active
3 connected to bluetooth dongle
4 connected to ecu

in my case if i leave bluetooth on …. android will remove the device from the list and have to pair again

so i leave bluetooth off …and use android auto to turn it on
and tasker to activate torque on detection on android auto

Thanks for the helpful replies, guys.

Dunno about expecting two-hundred dollar service on this product though. How long did it take you guys to help me here ? I imagine the developer could’ve easily made a reasonably helpful user manual (not as complete or polished as I’d expect for a 0 app) with a day’s work.

So, doing the math, he’s got 64,000+ purchasers, so let’s say a handsome year’s pay of three-hundred K or so (maybe I’m mistaken, but probably not a lot of overhead). Seems like a week spent making a user’s manual isn’t a crazy thing to hope for.

But I’m arguing just for the sake of arguing. For five dollars, this thing looks like it’s gonna be more than a bargain – I’m just getting frustrated trying to get it working. Probably the people making all these OBD2 Bluetooth widgets, and the lack reliable info about which ones do and don’t work with various automobiles and apps, is who I should focus my frustration upon.

Also, maybe I’m simple … but why all dollar sums zeroed out here ?

Oddly, I un-installed TorquePro in frustration, at the same time I made my OP. I decided to re-install it and try to make it work (by getting a different OBD2-Bluetooth adapter, or something). But now it just works (with the same adapter as before).

Pretty sure I didn’t do anything different. Only thing, possibly the three actions of: (1) turning on the ignition, (2) plugging in the adapter to the OBD port, (3) starting up TorquePro – were not performed in the same sequence. Not certain, but I believe I did it in the sequence 2-1-3 before, and 1-2-3 today.
