Title: Xtrons android Torque Pro app
Post by: blingsta on November 12, 2021, 08:36:16 pm

Guys..  I hope this isn't a silly question Lol..  but the Torque pro app that comes as standard in the apps, does the check for errors feature actually work???   It never finds a fault on my car (not that I'm complaining)  :booty:  or is it a feature you have to pay for?

I was hoping that it would work without...but it wont work unless you have a OBD bluetooth dongle paired to the head.
Mine was a bit choosy about what dongle works.
Works well when up and running - even can find fault codes while driving.

Thanks for the reply fella..

i already have a bluetooth dongle paired with it and the app itself works great, ive set up my dashboard to show vacuum, speed, revs etc etc,  but everytime i try to scan for faults, nothing shows up!  i will be very surprised if my car had 0 faults..     i will pop out on my break and maybe pull the spark lead off to see if it reads the misfire
