Default Anyone got "Torque Pro" working?

Hey GS crew

Has anyone tried the scantool "Torque Pro" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...l.torque&hl=en

Its an Android App that works with a wireless OBD2 plug.

It has some awesome features for a such a cheap scantool including a track recorder. Have a look at that link above.

Just wondering if anyone has got it working with their GS300 as I'm having a bit of trouble with it. I suspect my 2000 GS300 doesn't support the OBD2 protocols?

.

I have it, it is really hit or miss when it comes to cars. It didnt really work to well on my last car, a 96 Maxima which does support obd2, all it could do on that was erase cel codes and sometimes read them. It may not work on the GS either, I haven't tried yet

Does the bluetooth adapter or android version on your device make any difference?

Well when I used it with my Maxima, I only tried with one adapter so idk. As far as Android version, no it didnt make a difference.

Apps are cool and all but when it comes to things like ODB2 its best to use the ODBII reader.. haha

I've a 2003 GS300 and it works like a charm. Bought a bluetooth enabled OBD2 connector and that's it. Can read all the stats, so fully usable

I use it a lot on my GS to clear random CEL's that pop up from time to time due to turbo stuff. The real-time monitoring is pretty useless over a bluetooth adapter because of the really slow response time.
