Torque is a application available in the Google Play Store, which uses Bluetooth technology to connect to on-board computer of the vehicle and transmit us a lot of useful data for the maintenance and the low consumption of the same. OBD2 technology it is already included in many of the new vehicles. For this application to function correctly, we must buy a bluetooth adapter that is coupled to the connection of the vehicle's diagnostic socket.
OBD2 technology, (On Board Diagnostics), It has been used for a long time among mechanics, and it is nothing more than connect our vehicle to an external computer, which connects to on-board computer vehicle for quick diagnosis. This machine reports a series of codes which translate into breakdowns and aspects to improve the engine and vehicle operation.
This application available for our Android, offers us to control all those data that mechanics and motor experts handle: but translated into the language of the street. With this application we will be able to control things as basic as the consumption of our vehicle, transmission temperaturen, the emissions of CO2, reports of failures detected in the engine (even anticipating the fault in question), in short, a complete diagnostic and high performance center for our vehicle.
The application has an extensive database with error codes of many manufacturers, to allow us in this way to access and identify the Error code and translate it into the type of breakdown so that we can put a quick solution before things go further.
When opening the application, it is as if let's change Launcher, turning our Android device into a car diagnosis center, in which we will have at our disposal several black screens so that we can configure them with our own App widgets, according to our needs and the control or the type of information to which we want to have direct access.
One of the options that has captivated me the most is to be able to make a recording of our trip as a real screen with the Widgets embedded in the background, or the option of night mode that perfectly adjusts the colors and brightness levels to avoid being dazzled by the application.
A very complete application, that if you are a mechanic worker you will love it; on the contrary, if you are an individual who wants to have maximum control of your vehicle, you may also be interested, although then you should add to the $3,55 what the app costs, the price of the bluetooth adapter, which can be among the 50 and $300, depending on its technical characteristics.

You could give some link or more information about the adapters since cars can be connected.
Thanks and best regards,
In the download link that takes you to the Play Store, you will find another link that is in the definition of the application that shows you the different models of adapters.
It is suitable for all cars that have a connection for self-diagnosis.
Specifically this:
I bought one at DealExtreme which cost me approx. € 25, and it works perfectly with Torque, even giving me ECU errors.

Hello, I bought an adapter on eBay for 8 euros to a Chinese
Everything perfect in 10 days at my house. I have a bmw 325 and a kalos and it only works on the kalos
Maybe because it is more modern. 10 to the apk
Hello mortolitos. It should work for you in the BMW (what year is it?)
If it has an obd connection, you could buy the ediabas or inpa which is the specific bmw program
IT IS VERY WELL TO SELL BUT AND THE USER'S MANUAL FOR WHEN
Hello jmgs13 the user manual in a way is not necessary. The product is generally quite intuitive to read the data.
You have some more specific information about obd systems in:
Hello sorry, I have TORQUE installed IN my HTC and the ELM327 bluetooht adapter but it does not connect with the ECU, why would it be? I have a fiat palio hlx 1.8 year 2007. I hope you can help me
Hello luis, unfortunately torque does not work in all vehicles (although it seems incredible) try with another car model to confirm that the reader does not fail you.
I have already tested with other vehicles and if it works. But not with my canopy.
Very good article on the use of the obd in torque,
The problem in general is the lack of information offered by the program when it comes to describing obd errors. To know how you can solve each failure and its description (why it can occur, tips and solutions) visit http://www.teseomotor.com
A GREETING
Before buying the adapter (even if I already bought the app) I would like to know if it will work for me with my 2006 Honda Civic Si? It would be great if someone told me.
Greetings friend, thank you very much for the information and I wonder if among so much necessary information that this application offers us, can we also visualize the electrical diagram of the vehicle that we are examining? THANK YOU
Hello rene, despite taking two months, I will answer you so that future users can get true information about this system.
The answer is no.
But if you need programs with the wiring of your vehicle I can leave you a link with the list of programs most used by workshops.
From wiring to how to remove a mirror
All the best
