Default Anyone ever play with Torque app!

So, just a few days ago I stumbled across TORQUE app. Even tho its been out for ever...but I never had a car worth putting it in. I bought the obd2 driver u need to install for torque to run. But, my god, I must say it's such an entertaining app. Has everything u need to play around. 1/4 mile times, 0-60, 60-100, cel on demand. etc. So far I've gotten 5.2 0-60 and 14.3....still not happy lol

I use a number of the OBD II apps, but not Torque (is that Android only?). I like many of them for them reasons you point out and others. I do some data logging and performance stuff. I don't know, but suspect that the quarter mile feature might have a bit of error around the measure. Probably fine for just having fun - I sure would like to believe I'm running well into 12 secs, but should probably get a track slip before making any claims

FYI, I got a right angle cable for better placement of my ELM327:

I have used the Torque APP on my android device for 2+ years. Recently traded in 350 for a 370 Nismo. The OBDLink MX reader (Blue Tooth OBD reader) works even better. Fast refresh rate, nearly real time on my 370. Even displays AFR and a real read on engine temp, not a useless dot. Configured to suit your monitoring needs, I find it an invaluable aid while driving or tracking the car. Data logging is very useful, it can be directly uploaded to the internet for later perusal and analysis. Just my $.02.

Hmmm. That does look cool. The $15 Elm327s can be a bit slow to connect and clunky.

I use the Torque Bluetooth on my Android (rooted, custom OS) and it is instant once its connected. It even has the ability to add Nissan specific PIDs which is nice.

OBD-II PIDs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Essentially a parameter that you can watch in real time via OBDII.

I have yet to get oil temp to work even though it says the PID is available. I do have the advanced Nissan add on as well.

Yep tried that exact PID I get nothing. Might uninstall the nissan adv and re install. Think that might be an issue for me.

thats odd. id definitely uninstall. if not, then maybe your ODB2 doesnt support it? although it should heh. heres my car after sitting in the garage after driving home in 80 degree weather from work just now:



so many cool PIDs with nissan adv. i wish they could figure out a TPMS PID so we could get all 4 tire pressures recorded
