Ive been messing with torque app and cant figure out the whole adding new gauges from PID. I cant even get the built in GM ones to work. I would really like to be able to pull up oil temp, trans temp, and AFR.

The app seems to work pretty well with the generic PIDs, I'm running it on a parrot asteroid smart head unit. Ive had an issue with the bluetooth connection to the odb2 adapter once, but that's cause i bought a cheap one.

Heres a pic of my current screen.

 

Your not goin to get oil temp nor Actual AFR with it.
You will see Commanded AFR and the oxygen sensor readings if they work.

What unit do you have? id love to get somthing like that on my phone.

 

I've run it a while. I remember having to update the pids somehow. I can't remember how I did it, it was a while ago. It seems like I was able to scan knock retard with the updated pids. I like the app. Made me a nice holder for my phone so I could scan while making wot blast. Its a lot cheaper than the aero force gauge lol.

 

The app is torque, you can get it on apple or android, it can run on pretty much any phone. The radio is a Parrot Asteroid Smart, its pretty much an android tablet in my dash.

 

What OBDII Bluetooth adapter are you using?

ive been reading a bunch of the cheap ones are really junk

 

OK I just checked. My addition pids were located at :
Setting/manage extra pids/settings/add per determined set/ gm

 

hmm I'll have to try again. the ones in there I tried never worked.

 

BAFX Products (TM) - PIC18F2480 Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light and other diagnostics - Android compatible : Amazon.com : Automotive Is the one I got, it worked really good for a few weeks before I had a problem with it.

 

I have been using it for a while. Only issue i have with it is it wont read boost. I have a 2 bar map and the app wont read over 105kpa.

 

you might be able to add a custom guage that has a bigger swing
