LegUp Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 For those of you familiar with the Torque app... I recently purchased an 06 spec B, with a Android based display. It uses the Torque app to monitor engine parameters. All seems to work fine, except for the boost/vacuum. It reads either -.4 or -.7. it never moves when driving. Sometimes reads -.4, sometimes -.7 after I start the car but it never moves and never reads anything different. I is definitely making boost but somehow the app isn't reading it. I've been through the settings, everything looks good to me. Anyone else experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I was using that app from 2010 to 2014 and I never had any issue. But then came out the BtSsm app, which is way more powerful and useful for our car. Not sure if you know about it. If not, you definitely want to check it out. You can view some very important parameters that Torque cannot (e.g. Knock related parameters, Fuel trims, misfire per cylinder, AVCS angle, etc...). The guy who developed it is on our forum too. see http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/btssm-bluetooth-adapter-app-229709.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegUp Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Ok, I will definitely check that out. That sounds really useful. I'm using an OBDlinkLX also so it looks like it's compatable. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I can tell you that you will NOT regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegUp Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Purchased the app. However can't get it to link to ecu. Says querying ecu indefinitely and that's as far as I get. Thinking maybe BT adp is "married" to the torque app or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Get in touch with heiche. He will certainly help you. You can also post on the main btssm thread. Should be an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Mac Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Isn't querying ecu what it says when it's working. Pretty sure thats what mine says down the bottom, could be wrong, don't really look down there often.

LegUp Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 thanks for replies guys. Been tt hie heiche on BtSsm thread. Looks like it doesn't get along with the head unit. Got it working on my phone though. Heiche he says maybe a obd/sub cable might make it work with head unit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Yeah you can always try that. I have a nexus 7 permanently installed in my car. And I am using a vagcom cable to communicate with the ecu. Works flawlessly. Here is a video of the install in case you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It is a magnet mount for my phone. You can get one on ebay for cheap. You essentially stick a thin piece of metal, which comes with the mount, to your phone case (or phone itself) and voila. (The magnet is on the mount).

LegUp Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Update. Vagcom/kkl cable works great. Plugs right into USB on headunit, so no otg adapter required for the headunit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparr3d Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Curious which HU are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegUp Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Honestly not sure. Generic Chinese. PO installed it, he told me all it said on the box was " better than what you expect". I'm pretty sure he bought it on eBay. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegUp Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/272554717037 This looks like mine. I'm not, sure though, since I did not install it. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
