We do not supply the Torque application, it can be
downloaded from your app store.
Installation.
First, locate the vehicle diagnostics
socket - it should be a similar shape that will let the adapter
plug into it. Some common places for it are underneath the
drivers-side dashboard, or behind a flap near or underneath the
steering wheel. Some Vauxhalls have them placed in the centre
'tunnel' between drivers and passenger seats underneath the ash
tray, and Alfas could be in the passenger glove box.
Once you have located the socket, plug
the adapter into it. Some lights on it should light up. If you
are using the PLX adapter, make sure it is turned on if it has a
switch.
Now you need to pair the adapter with
the phone. Some common pairing codes here are '0000' or '1234'.
For older versions of Android (1.5 & 1.6), you may need to pair
the phone 'twice' (check the notification bar for the pairing
request after pairing for the first time).
Pairing the adapter with the phone is
relatively simple:
- Go to the phones
Bluetooth settings, accessible via the phones
'Settings->Wireless and networks->Bluetooth settings'
- Scan for devices
- Wait until the
Bluetooth device shows in the list
- Select the
device, you will be asked for a
pairing code, it is normally 1234 or 000
- You are now
paired. If you are using Android 1.5 you may get asked a
second time (in the notification bar) to authorise the
pairing - use the same pin code here as well.
Selecting the adapter with Torque
- Launch Torque,
and go into the applications settings menu
- Select the "OBD2
Bluetooth Settings" settings option
- Scroll down the
list of items until you see 'Connection Type' in the list.
Make sure this is set to 'Bluetooth'
- Scroll down to
the Bluetooth preferences section, select 'Choose Bluetooth
Device' and select the adapter you paired with earlier.
- Torque is now
setup, and should connect to the adapter. To speed things up
you might want to quit the app and restart it
Make sure your vehicle ignition is on
(the engine does not have to be running) and Torque will start
to read sensor information from the ECU. When Torque is properly
connected, all the flashing icons at the top right of the main
screen should turn blue and stay solid.
PLEASE NOTE ANY OTHER DEVICES PARED
TO YOUR PHONE WILL NEED TO BE DELETED BEFORE ADDING THIS DEVICE.
YOU CAN ADD THEM BACK ON AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS.
Compatibility:
This is normally 2001 on
for petrol cars and 2004 onwards for diesel cars.
When using Torque for diagnostics you can only access engine
systems not airbag, abs etc |
