And make sure to go back and turn "Unknown Sources" off afterward. That setting exposes you to substantial security issues.

So I got to the point where I now have to have a bitcoin account to pay for it. Paypal does not appear to be an option even though there is a Paypal icon showing.

Paypal should work. That's how I did it. Maybe close the application and then re-open it.

I had a problem with paypal when I did it. I would sign into paypal and the transaction would error out. I finally just entered the credit card information on the paypal page without signing in and it worked. Hmm maybe I need to check my paypal account credit card expiration lol. Also for Rmltr, it needs to be Torque Pro from the paly store, regular Torque free won't work.

I'm all set up. Just need to learn all the gauges (and there are tons of them).

Thanks for all the help guys.

Now we need to post some picks of everyones favorite gauges. Top for me would be ethanol % gauge and outdoor temp since it as easy to see inside AA.
I do have a trip gas used and a trip timer...albeit trip timer is in seconds instead of minutes or hours.
Staying away from speed or rpm as i wonder if that is what is overloading the can bus and causing the wrench for a few. I also run the AFR gauge and a boost/vacuum gauge. Oh and my favorite to have a voltmeter finally.

Don't forget there is a separate TPMS screen, granted i tried to add wheel speeds for that screen without much luck. I wanted to be able to see the wheel speed sensors with all the ABS issues with them.

Using the v2 beta build due to the gauge placement. This is just round one. I'm sure it'll change at some point. But for now...





1. Air/Fuel Mix (center - Text Only)
2. Intake Temp (left)
3. Turbo Boost/Vacuum (right)

I still have the Return to Sync option. Is there some setting within Sync or the phone that I need to set to get the OBD2AA?

Sorry, this might be my fault. When you install the OBD2 for AA there is another step in Android Auto that I didn't put in my notes. I've taken the below from the XDA site.

Instructions on how to use:
  • Install OBD2 for AA
  • Open the app and hopefully it will be quite self explanatory on how to set it up (choose colors, set gauge number, etc)
  • Open Android Auto (on the phone, not plugged into the vehicle), go to About, if you are not a developer yet, tap the "About Android Auto" header 10 times till you see a toast message saying you're a developer. From the right top corner select developer options, scroll down and make sure you check "Unknown sources" - This step is not alway required only if app doesn't show up on car screen
  • Connect your phone to the car/headunit/hur
  • Select the last tab on the right, by pressing it again you should see an app selector and choose OBD2AA
  • Give it a bit of time to start pulling the data from Torque.
