Dude has issues making clearly informative video but it's batter than nothing

MellonC00

what is the hardware??? and where do you hook this up to?

ukrkoz

Like I said, dude who made that vid... bless his heart... it was actually 2nd, "more clear" one.
Anyhow. Torque is free Android app. He keeps saying that he does not believe free will work, but I had both free and pro, and there's little to none difference between the two.
As h/w, you need a OBD2 port BT dongle. PLENTY of those on ebay, from $4 all the way into hundreds.
Then, you pair Torque with dongle et voila - you can monitor heck a lot of everything on phone screen. It's actually very handy app, as you can also set display to Mirror mode, so then it casts whatever you want to onto windshield, just like HUD. Free, mind you.
Reason I posted this here is - if he got PIDs for Prius, so it should be available for any Toyota hybrid, right?

The latest version of Torque seems to have Prius and Toyota/Lexus hybrid PIDs built in. You can add them by running the Torque app and doing this:

1. Click on Settings
2. Click on Manage extra PIDs/sensors,
3. Click on the dot menu button on the upper right
4. Click Add predefined set
5. Click Prius Gen 3 (2010+)
6. You can then add hybrid specific values in the real time data screen.

Not quite. The PIDs are not the same between the Prius and RXh, so using the built in PIDs will leave a lot of empty info. For example, the Prius has 14 blocks in the HV battery whereas the RXh has 15. I have attached the correct PIDs for the RX400h here.

There you go! Thank you.

This is actually a powerful selling tool for hybrids. Then you can show a potential buyer that your hybrid battery runs strong and upp the sale value.

Any chance making this work with a 2010 RX450h? This is 3rd-generation hybrid and I think battery voltages are different.

ukrkoz

I figure, simply get proper PIDs and go for it. From what I see, they have them for all Toyota/Lexus models. Just remember - no Torque BT dongle for i phones. There are some, but they cost an arm and leg. Jobst must have had his hands in them.

You can try the same pids I've posted for the 400h as well as the built in PIDs in Torque for the 3rd gen Prius. There's no guarantee it'll work, and it's all trial and error to figure out the correct ones. I've searched around and no one has developed PIDs specifically for the 450h, unfortunately.

How do you load the PIDs? What do you look for in the PIDS?

Thanks to Danthedj for providing the PIDS. I could not get them to load as is, but I finally figured it out. You have you have to load them as .csv file (comma separated variable). I converted the text document from danthedj to CSV and I also added the prefix of [RX] to all the PIDS so we can know its for the RX400h.

To load them:
1) Download the CVS file attached
2) Locate the Torque folder on your phone. On my phone, I had to enable "view hidden files" in the Files app.
3) Copy the CVS file to the folder: .torque/extendedpids Note that it starts with a period, making it a hidden folder. Mine was on my device rather than the storage card.
4) Make sure Torque Pro is closed/exit, then reopen Torque
5) Navigate to Settings > Manage extra PIDs/Sensors
6) Click the three dot icon at the top right corner, select "Add Predefined set" (note, you may clear the list first if you want to rebuild your list)
7) select "RX400H pids", which loads the list to the page
8) Select the three dot icon again and click "Export List". Select to export to Torque Pro
All done, now you may go into your information and add the PIDS to the screen

does anyone have a set for a 2006 GS450h? gen2

I just came across another app that looks like you do not need to enter the pids. Dr. Pruis Link
I did not try it myself yet since I lent my OBD to a friend.
