scangauge II versus torque pro dashcommand

DashCommand works seamlessly, but there are some PID's that I wish I could display on the dashboard. DashCommand works with iPhone technology and sets up a wifi envelope in and around the car. :grin: In Torque Pro, had to go into 'Setting', 'Manage extra PIDs/Sensors', and create a new OBD2 PID using the following settings: OBD2 Mode and PID: 222201. I recommend it highly, except I believe it is only for Android.Īs I understand Torque Pro is for Android phones and uses Bluetooth to connect the phone with the dongle. I just successfully setup a new gage in my Torque Pro app to monitor Transmission Temperature. Either way, I still have license for the app and its updates. I bought Torque and a cheap OBDII reader a few years back, but the reader was crap. And in Arizona, you want the display active all the time with the coolant temperature on a large gauge display where you can see it at any moment.Īnyway, I haven't had any problems with the Torque Pro app and it did great helping me diagnose a few issues and OBD codes that turned up. My dilemma now is whether to buy a Scangauge II or to buy a good Bluetooth OBDII reader and use Torque on my Android phone or tablet. With my old phone, if I wanted the display active all the time with Torque Pro, I h ad to plug the phone charger in. I don't expect it to be any different but the battery drain on the new phone seems to be much less running any app on it. I will be taking a road trip in about two weeks, so I will have a chance to test it out. I just got a brand new Samsung S8+ and I re-installed Torque Pro on it.

I have heard that Dash Command is pretty much the equivalent on an iPhone, but I haven't actually used it.
