Im looking for an adapter to monitor engine load in real time. I bought a ELM 327 a while back, I believe it was a cheap knockoff because it made my car made weird noises, which I have learned might be because it drew a lot of power from the car battery. Very annoying, I decided to throw that crap out immediately, but now I am in the search for a proper adapter.

My car is a Golf mk 5. Please recommend me something that will guaranteed work. Ive looked at the wiki, but some of those options are too much for me.

Hope all of that is possible!

Anyway as I can;t post anywhere else This question is about a new unit I got.

I got a new ODB unit (Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0) to make certain my old one wasn’t at fault.
This new interface with the app `ODB Auto Doctor` can read the coolant temperature on my car, but it shows it as available via a second? ECU2?

Torque Pro can’t read the coolant temp. It does show in the list of sensors but in a dull green, not the bright green, however, no data is available.

Anyone know how to read this data as its clearly available.

Hi!

Torque is not available on the iPhone – it’s Android only.

You can post a debug log (settings->special settings->enable debugging – do the fault scan after restarting the app, then go to the realtime information screen->gear/menu icon->send debugging information, and put your forum name in the box that pops up)

I’ll then have a look

if you are unable to pair it – this is not an issue of Torque app, but of your phone/headunit.
have you tried to set pairing password on headunit to 1234?
If you don’t have headunit, but phone/tablet with full android – then try to use other OBD adapter.
