Torque is a powerful application that allows you to monitor and improve the performance of your vehicle. It connects to your car's OBD2 engine management system using a Bluetooth adapter, providing you with real-time data and diagnostics. With Torque, you can customize your own dashboard with the widgets and gauges you want, making it a personalized experience for every user.
Torque uses GPS and OBD engine logging to provide you with tracker logs, allowing you to see your vehicle's performance at any point in time. It can also show and reset DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) or CEL (Check Engine Light) codes, similar to a professional scantool. This feature not only helps you fix your car, but also helps keep repair costs down.
Torque offers a range of features to enhance your driving experience. It includes a Dyno/Dynomometer and Horsepower/HP & Torque feature, as well as the ability to read transmission temperatures (vehicle dependent). You can also use Torque to accurately measure your vehicle's 0-60 speed timings, CO2 emissions, and MPG. With customizable dashboards and profiles, you can tailor the app to your specific needs.
With the Track Recorder plugin, you can record your journey and overlay OBDII data on your video, creating a "black box" for your car or truck. Torque also allows you to automatically send GPS tagged tweets to Twitter, making it perfect for road trips.
Torque works on any vehicle that uses the OBD2 standard, which includes most vehicles built after 2000. It is compatible with a wide range of vehicle makes, including Ford, VW, GM, Chrysler, Mercedes, Audi, and more. The app requires a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to work, and a list of supported adapters can be found on the Torque website.
Torque is constantly adding new features and updates to improve the user experience. If you have a suggestion for a new feature, you can submit it on the Torque forums. However, please note that vehicle ECUs may vary in the amount of sensors supported.
Some users have reported issues with the app hanging or rebooting after quitting. This is a known bug with HTC devices and Galaxy Tab, and can be triggered by using certain Bluetooth apps. If you experience this issue, please contact the support for your device and request a fix.
