AFR is a standard OBDII PID, so, unless something like you have an aftermarket turbo which has a piggyback ECU, Torque will give you the AFR. If you have a piggyback ECU, then you need to weld in an O2 sensor into your exhaust and get the AFR the “old fashioned” way.

The knock sensor PID isn’t standard; it’s an extended PID. The standard PIDs can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs#Standard_PIDs

Your vehicle may have the knock PID, but you’d have to figure out the correct cal curve and the actual PID number in HEX. Then Torque would be able to read it for you. Ian has coded some widely used extended PIDs in the paid for version. So, for example, if you have a Ford or GM, you’re set (I think — can’t remember what extended PIDs are in there).

I don’t have a Ford or GM, so I’m on my own for the extended PIDs. Google is your friend.

Hey guys!

Looking for Oil Temp for my car.

Do you guys know where I’d have to look for the PID ?

The car has the motor and ECU from a 2001 VW Polo GTI.

I know that the ECU has this reading available because this value was visible from the in-dash interface.

any one have any ideas?

Ian: think this will be a feature you can add? or not really…

Thanks everyone for your time!

It works fine on my 07 Megane but will not work on my 01 Saxo. It couldnt connect to the Ecu it seemed…

I uploaded the comms debug file etc but im yet to hear of a reason why etc.

Thanks
Dan

I have an electric bicycle which I like to connect with this APP.
The cells of my bike are controlled by a BMS (BatterieManagmentSystem) which can send CAN-Bus datas.
I will preapre a connector to connect to the PLX Kiwi wireless.
On the homepage of the BMS are a list of the PIDs.
Is it posible that I program the PIDs by myself?

The PID list:

Thank you for the help!

Hello, thanks for making such a cool neat app. It looks absolutely fantastic. A little background info, I’m going to be purchasing either a Droid X or Evo 4G soon and I know I’m going to be definately getting the paid version of this application when that happens. Purhaps in about a week or so.

3 Questions:

First and foremost, have you read or heard about any compatibility issues with Scion tCs or any Scion brand vehicle? (The tC is the current car I daily drive on, love it.)

Secondly, how can I make an additional payment or “donation” to further help you in producing this fine software? I have a feeling that after I make the small payment of on the Android Market I will not be able to further demonstrate my gratitude on the creation of such an awesome application.

Thirdly, which OBD II to Bluetooth adapter brand or type would you specifically recommend to have the most functionality?

Thank you for your time,

-Bart

P.S. I’m getting the vibe to avoid a phone with Android 2.1…

I have a friend that has Torque on his Cliq XT and it works great. I’ve looked through this site and like what I have seen, and as soon as the Kiwi adapter becomes available on thinkgeek again i’ll be buying it and downloading the paid Torque app onto my phone.

I was wondering if there is a release of Torque that I could also use on my Bluetooth equipped Dell Studio 15 laptop running Vista as well.

Quick question,

Whats the ‘car’ symbol on top denote ? My device says ‘ECU Connected – OK’ but the Car symbol keeps flashing and doesnt turn blue.

What does this mean ?

Cheers

I’m trying to add a custom PID that returns 2 bytes of data that need to be divided by 8 (similar to rpm and dividing by 4), how do I format that equation in the editor?

I tried ((A*256)+B)/8, but that yields a much larger value than expected.

Could it be that because I am using a 2 byte PID that the response is actually in bytes B/C not byte A/B?

Here in these thread I saw some discussions about availability of torque for Android 1.6 users. I am TATTOO user, downloaded Torque from market and wanted just to try it.

Getting (seems to me) quite common problem – device is paired to , but not connected and torque can not connect as well. From menu I am selecting device and see CBT listed, pressing and I am asked for pairing for second time and thats it. Is this problem addressed in non free version for android 1.6 users? I made attempt to search forums no success finding ansver if either this problem for 1.6 is fixed in non free wersion, or , as it was discussed, was some special version of torque uploaded to the site?

My guess it is the Ebay adapter. I’ve been able to get it to work on Ford cars all the way back to 1996 using a PLX kiwi Bluetooth. I’ve actually had it working on a 01 XLT 4X4 Ranger. If you look around the forum there is at least 3 threads where the ebay units don’t work on older Fords. Some people have had success with them but there are some adapters that don’t work with the Ford protocol.

Has anyone had any success getting this to work on a Ford on or around 2001 model year. I have a 01 ranger and 98 mustang, and cant get it to work on either. My friend has a 08 ford escape my setup works fine on it. I am using an htc evo with one of the ebay elm 327 V1.4 B15 units.
