Help getting started with Torque Pro-

Got the ELM327 adapter off Eaby, and for now I'm using my Galaxy III phone.

The adapter came with a web address to download some kind of .zip file. What is this for, and do I need it.

I've searched the forum, and Superduty tech folder, but I didn't see any "getting started" info. So where is the best place you have found for a "getting started" tutorial for TORQUE?

Thanks for any info...

You can try and look at their forums at Torque — OBD2 Performance and Diagnostics for your Vehicle
I don't remember getting any thing like that I just plugged mine and and went from there

Yeah, I found their forums, but I was looking for a simple STEP1, STEP2, STEP3..... I already spend too much time looking at car and truck forums....

Just plug the ELM into the OBDII port, and connect to it with your phone within 1 minute of plugging it in. If you're prompted for a PIN, try 1234.

I googled OBD2 Bluetooth adapter and found help when I was struggling.


Yes I believe the linking code is 1234.

The adapters are hit or miss on quality. I think my latest adapter is a dud.

Thanks, I'm familiar with that thread.

My Bluetooth adapter seems to work fine, but I haven't had hours of time yet to sit read every post, and then try figure out how to enter equations to get all that cool stuff to work for my 6.0.

I appreciate all the work that the members have already done, but I would be more than willing to pay someone for a software update that would enter all that stuff into my TORQUE app. Then I could just use it without having to manually enter equations....

I read as much as I could. That is how I learned to use it. It's not that hard really.

Thanks.

I figured out how to get the oil temp gauge to show on the screen. It's sitting at '0' so now I have to figure out how to get it to actually read the temp....

Can you post up a screenshot showing the algorithm used? Or copy and paste it here? Here's what I use and it works.

Sorry took me a while to get back to this...

That's what's listed in my app under "settings/manage custom OBD2 PIDs", but it doesn't have the *(9/5)+32...
Will that make it work?

I don't see a way to get any of these PIDs listed in the app to activate...
