TorqueScan (Torque OBD Plugin)

Ian Hawkins

About this app

This is a plugin for the Torque pro OBD2 application that shows all the data that Torque has access to as well as some other features that some may find useful for OBD debugging.

* Quick and easy display of available ECU sensors

* OBD PID scanner to quickly map and locate extended PIDs

* Simple Telnet server that allows direct connection to the adapter to allow far easier debugging (aimed at developers)
The main application - Torque - allows you to connect your android device to your cars engine management, and read various sensors, even retrieve fault codes (DTC) and clear them once fixed. It can post to Twitter, log data, supports themes, and so much more!

If you are interested in developing your own plugin then you can find an example app here(which uses AIDL): http://ian-hawkins.com/torquescan.zip

Note: This plugin needs the full version of Torque

Ratings and reviews

Scan is working on Eonon g2185, using cheap Amazon bluetooth obd2. I didn't have time to let it complete but had found 120+ pid's in a matter of a few minutes. I'll give it another run on a longer trip with more time. So far, great app. Thank you. To nay sayers, give it time. If it crashes, clear your cache for the OS, not the app. It's likely a low RAM memory issue or weak processors in your phones/tablets/HU's. Some obd2 adapter's are junk.

Excellent results. Make sure you have a top quality adapter. If you have a good adapter and device phone tablet or computer and you took the time to set up the profile and adapter properly it should work 100% of the time. I have used it more than my big Snapon scanner and with a top notch adapter you can reprogram extra PIDs and read overall efficiency . Don't buy a tiny adapter 2 1/2" buy the longer 3" to 3 1/2" version because they will have the biggest microcontroller that reads all cars OBD2

Seems sort of useless as there is no way to export or save the data. Sends a blank email only. No way to save it directly to the android device. You can display the results on your phone but it is cryptic at best and therefore not much value. As with the other torque apps, no documentation to speak of. Great ideas poorly implemented.
