I'm using an amazon purchased adapter, and lose my tachometer on the dash when the app connects? Is this normal? I've never used something like this before.

EDIT: I'm going to try a different protocol in the settings based on that thread in the prius forums and see what happens.

This is the one i have. https://www.amazon.com/Scanner-Amtak...s=obd2+adapter

Only reason I bought it is because i though i read on here that some people use it. I will try again later today with a different setting in the app and see if it works correctly. Besides the tach on the dash not working, everything else worked fine on the app.

I love using the adapter and app.. It not only helps diagnose your vehicle but iv checked probably 12 people's cars informing them what was going on.. They all thought I was a genius.. If I could only turn off my damn tpms light...

So I tried it again and it has nothing to do with the app. As soon as I plug in the obd device, the tach drops to zero. As soon as I remove it, the tag jumps back up to normal operation. I think I need the adapter mentioned above.

Update: I received a refund for my obd bluetooth adapter and bought a different one, better quality. Now i can datalog, and view sensors without any issue with my tachometer not working. Is there any specific setting that you guys use to get the app to update fastest? i tried some runs but the time readings may be off a bit.

here is the adapter I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products...etooth+adapter

I have been using this one for a few years now. I used it with my '08 ISF, 02 Mustang GT, '10 Mazda3, 04 Volvo XC70 and a couple other cars and never had any issues with it. I am however questioning the accuracy of the 0-60mph time. Someone was saying that it calculates your 0-60 based on your GPS coordinates, and if it is the case, any delay would cause a second or so difference.

I'm sure the delay affects the 0-60 if it uses a GPS signal. I wonder if this could be calculated with a datalog file and vehicle speed sensor.

Pretty sure 0-60 is tracked using your phones accelerometer (still probably not that accurate)

Hi, can anyone recommend the best OBD2 Bluetooth Auto Diagnostic Scanner for an iPhone to use with the torque Pro App? I see many for non IPhones and want to make sure it compatible. If you could include am ebay or amazon link that would be great, Thanks!

This, based on what he said. For iphone you need a Wi-Fi dongle.

Will the OBD2 work on a 2001 ls430 (3uz fe) 4.3lt v8? And if it works where do I insert it? I assume it goes into the ECU computer box?

There should be an obd2 service port under your driver's side dashboard somewhere.
