Why drive something like a golf when you can drive a golf....... Why use something like an iPhone when you can use an iPhone! Lol

'cause I'd rather have a Leon.

just picked up my WHITE Galaxy S need to put torque on mine now

My coder is currently very busy with his robotics assignment.
As soon as I can get that out the way we'll make a start at the program, He's already checked the bluetooth stacks on Windows/Android and he knows how to code for it however hes investigating a way of making it cross platform with minimal work.

Slow process so far but we want to do it right.

I've not got an android phone at the moment (I sold the Sony Xperia X10 on ebay) and I'm looking to get the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Boost uage works on my TDI in Torque.

But not on other halfs 2001 Sharan.

 

[LEE69]

Bit of a result that mate.

 

[oldman]

nice work mark checking that as getting android in april, xperia arc, so will be nice to use that and not have to do gauges which i want but no funds to do oil & boost

Mine arrived yesterday. Checked it out using the free version on the way to focus for supplies then purchased the paid-for version and tried that one on a quick run to the supermarket. I can confirm that the boost function worked on mine too.

Off for a drive in the countryside to visit my brother tomorrow, so I'll have chance to test it properly

Just a couple of quick questions from a non tec person
i have a phone running on 1.5 not 2.1 will this still work ? and how do i know if my car is OBD2 compliant ? thanks in advance for any help

 

[LEE69]

I presume it should work on any android platform.
Your Leon is OBD2 compliant the socket is under the ashtray at the back, behind a clip on cover.

 

[cappitman]

cheers Lee, just ordered one ,will give it a try

 

[aBoijj]

Basically, if you can see the app in the market, then the developer has indicated that you can use the app on your phone.

Interestingly (well, for me anway), I posted up a thread on the Torque forums as I havent been able to pick up a couple of DTCs that I know are on my car (scanned before the AMD RR day with a handscanner and had a warning about max engine speed exceeded afterwards )... I can get all the real time readings fine in Torqu, so its def setup right and connected to the ECU.

An admin there has said that is wont read all fault codes, and def not ones related to ABS/SRS. The code I have is also a 'non-standard OBD2 code' so is probably some VAG specific one I guess. Either way, just thought to let you know (I'm probably the last to know) so that you might want to get a backup (Handscanner/VCDS) to catch anything else that might not be covered by this app...

If you want to see the reply on the forum then search for "Fault Codes in handscanner/VCDS but not in torque"
