I had no issues. At first it gave me a protocol error but then I just edited on my iPhone wifi settings the IP address etc that the DashCommand recommends and voila! I have real time data and no lag. Seems pretty accurate as well and love monitoring my engine temps etc.

Torque has too many bugs so I have a Livewire coming next week from Southern Speed for monitoring and datalogging. Half the time when I start up Torque my gauges are missing and I have to restore them from a backup. Also the A/F ratio gauge doesn't record minimum. Plus it won't monitor knock or intake air temp.

Im an idiot, guess if I turn the "wifi on" on my ipad that will help. Works like a charm. Is it ok to leave the OBD plugged in at all times, cause I notice with the key off it still has power

does the app actually work that well?

I just started using it and drove down my street, like it so far. Biggest perk for me is the boost gauge that I didnt know it had

Yea, I like it a lot.
lol that definitely will help. how do you like the app? I also unplug mine just in case it can drain the battery.

I like it so far, cant wait to go for a long drive. I guess i'll play it safe and unplug mine also. That stinks, it should only have power when key is on

I never had the gauges missing issue. You can set any guage to read minimum and maximum. The factor that it won't read knock or intake air temp has more to do with the OBD device you are using than the Torque app because mine reads those.

Mine reads intake air temp (upper right corner in pic below), but I have a OBDLink MX which is very quick and has a battery saving mode feature that does not drain my battery if I leave it in.


This was my old setup when I first got it. I have a lot more on my screen now, but I don't have a screenshot of it on my PC.

I use the same gauges that you do but my A/F ratio gauge doesn't record minimum. All of the rest record minimum and maximum but for some reason that particular one doesn't work
The gauges have disappeared twice on me and I have heard of others on the Southern Speed forum having the same issue

I didn't see an option to add intake air, all I saw was ambient air temperature. I will have to look again

Thanks

Yeah, you have to have it as a half or full round display for it to record min/max. Have you added the Ford PIDs? They list extra diplays for Fords, but you have to go in the settings to add them.

Here is my basic guage configuration I usually use taken from my company truck this morning. As you can see, I show the ambient and intake air temp in the middle.
