Wasso Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Strange, maybe my app doesn't stretch as far as oil temp? Maybe I can configure it. I'll check via my laptop as that has the full access I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 trying to think if i get it on torque on the xk. i know i have it set to read AFR air inlet temp, engine temp and a few others but must admit i don;t think the dongle is set to read oil temp.

Sam Mcgoo Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 You can't get oil temp on the obd2 on the Zed. I'm pretty sure there is not an oil temp sensor on the car. The ecu only uses water temp I think. I've fitted an oil Temp sensor and gauge for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 And again for us basic english speakers please ok. you hook a little box into your car (where dealers put a reader into under the steering wheel) then you hook this box up onto your smartphone via bluetooth, install the torque app in the market (andrpoid) I got the paid version. you can then add loads of gauges on your smartphone that can monitor different aspects of your cars data that the ecu collects. CAn read and reset CEL lights too. and do more nice things drinks battery though so best be is to get a 1amp usb charger for the cig lighter. Bit of a bummer when the phone rings though!

syy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm digging this up because I just got an ELM 327 Bluetooth and it doesn't work on my UK 2005. Any ideas? Im on android it pairs to my phone ok but the apps can't connect to it. I've tried about 8 different free apps so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlockH Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have an elm 327 also connects to android fine but wouldn't read the ECU so got the Vgate one that won't connect to the Bluetooth at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have an elm 327 also connects to android fine but wouldn't read the ECU so got the Vgate one that won't connect to the Bluetooth at all Have you entered the password and adjusted the settings in torque as per the destructions? (our of interest) Loads of threads on this syy, the elms are hit and miss, i have two sat here that ddint work so bought the vgate which worked first time, but not for Sherlock.

SherlockH Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 That's the thing it doesn't come up with a box for me to enter a password in for the Vgate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Ah ok, i see what you mean now. Its not being found via bluetooth so you cant pair with the unit. Edited January 3, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginner Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Been using this app a bit (not on the Z much). Got the fully paid version using a bluetooth dongle from ebay. Well spent monies so far. Just wondering if anyone here know what data you can read from the Z (full version) and if any of the below PIDs work. PIDS that work out of the box with Torque: Load Fuel Level RPM Intake Temp Intake manifold pressure(in kPa) Coolant Temp Vacuum/Boost Gauge Barometric Pressure Mass air flow rate(in g/s not voltage) Throttle Position Timing Advance(Works, at WOT shows near 0 degrees. Yay stock tune!) Enhanced PIDs you have to manually enter Long name & short name can be whatever you want. I tried to stick to conventional names. LTFT Long Term Fuel Trim?

Stan Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I've tried to get the PIDs to work but no success. Not too bothered as I really only got mine to check and clear codes if they ever came up (can't for the life of me get the pedal dance to work, so for the sake of a tenner I can do codes instantly and also have lots of pretty output dials if needed!)

RobPhoboS Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Cheers for the post, I shall try some of these over the weekend to see how it goes.
