You can see what your car does in real time, view OBD fault codes, vehicle performance and other sensor data.
Torque is a vehicle/car performance/diagnostics tool and scanner that uses an OBD II Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU
Your dashboard can be laid out with the widgets/gauges that you like!
It can also use GPS to log tracker logs and OBD engine logging, so you can always see what you did.
It can also reset or show a DTC/CEL/fault code, just like a scanner. It helps you repair your car and lowers repair costs!

It works on all vehicles that use the OBD 2 standard. This includes most vehicles made after 2000. However, it can also be used for vehicles from 1996. You can verify this information with your manufacturer or search for the OBD2 label on your engine bay.
Ford, VW and GM/Vauxhall/Opel vehicles are covered. Some ECUs of vehicles may have more or less features than others.
To work, the app requires a Bluetooth OBD2 converter. The adapter, which is small, plugs into your car’s diagnostic socket. This gives you access to your phone. You can find a list of adapters on: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters (Garmin EcoRoute HD adapters not supported)

More features are added every release – there are forums at http://torque-bhp.com/forums/ – if you want something added, let me know, and I’ll try to add it if possible! The number of sensors that are supported by vehicle ECUs varies.
*PLEASE NOTE: Any reports of the app hanging up or restarting after you quit it are caused by a bug in HTC devices. The problem can be fixed by disabling Pandora’s Bluetooth settings. However, HTC/Samsung must release a solution. You can reach them to request a spot.
