I just bought this from ebay having previously used the earlier version.
This now has an on/off switch so can be left in place.

Excellent device - I've used the earlier one for a while now.

Description
See what your car is doing in realtime, get OBD fault codes, car performance, sensor data and more!
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

Layout your own dashboard with the widgets / gauges you want!

It can use the GPS to provide tracker logs with OBD engine logging so you can see what you were doing at any point in time

It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!

Torque also features:

* Dyno / Dynomometer and Horsepower/HP & Torque
* Can read Transmission Temperatures (vehicle dependant)
* 0-60 speed timings - more accurate than just using plain old GPS - see how fast your car is (or truck )
* CO2 emissions readout
* Customisable dashboard & profiles
* Video your journey using the Track Recorder plugin with onscreen OBDII data overlay - a black box for your car/truck!
* Automatically send GPS tagged tweets directly to twitter (for example if you are going on a road trip)
* Massive fault code database for lookup of fault codes from different manufacturers
* Theme support (choose from different themes to change the look of your dashboard)
* Send logging information to web or email CSV/KML for analysis via excel / openoffice reader
* Heads up display / HUD mode for night time driving
* Compass (GPS Based) that won't suffer magnetic interference
* GPS Speedometer/Tracking and realtime web upload capability - see what you were doing and your engine, at a point in time
* Turbo boost feature for vehicles that support MAP and MAF sensors (VW & Golf / Audi / Seat etc supported)
* Alarms and warnings (for example if your coolant temperature goes over 120C whilst driving) with voice/speech overlay
* Car dock support
* Graph data
* MPG
* Able to share screenshots to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Email, etc
* AIDL API for third party apps, A simple Telnet interface for developers to talk to the adapter, and an OBD scanner.
* Works on tablet devices like the Motorola Xoom, Dell Streak, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Nook

Works on any vehicle that uses the OBD 2 standard (most vehicles built after 2000, but can work for vehicles as far back as 1996) if in doubt check with your manufacturer first or look for 'OBD2' on written on a big white label in your engine bay

I would read the thread as it only works on 6002 gas only and I have the only controller in the WORLD
I am the guinea pig tester for the designer Mirko who is making me a markII model that works fully.

This sounds like a great toy, does it affect warranty?

It is easy to fit? I have a 2013 130 Fiat

I reckon when the light comes on , it could mean many things. We had a citroen relay with the light on for thousands of miles ....recall for egr.....none in stock so drove the van until next service.

Yes that is correct
You have to read the ECU log to know the cause hence the need for the scanner

Does anyone know if you can clear engine fault codes via the Torque App ?

Yes, but it won't clear service lghts or read most manufacturer only codes though the paid for version might..
Reads generic codes all day long no matter what the vehicle......if it fits, it reads.

So once I've sorted my Turbo high and low pressure sensor fault I can use Torque to clear the fault code, cool !

Thank both, especially Andy for the great write up as usual.

It may take three attempts to clear the fault log as vehicles vary
Some need to be done with engine off some running but the wife’s had to be started at the instant if pressing the clear log tab
