There is a lot of actions and settings to make before you can link up. Basicly you need your phone on bluetooth discoverable, In the the torque app you need to go through pairing the phone to ELM etc, can be a pain in the ass for non tech heads like my mate who owns a FG, but I had no probs straight off the bat with mine or his. Once you have the phone, app and ELM as best of friends you need to set up a profile for the car. Usualy the menu button your phone will bring a a new menu for the app. There's a few youtube video's but they are pretty lame, mostly computer geeks with no idea about cars, but they do get the basics across. Good luck with the app, its worth having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried -14.7, 14.7, 0.0, -20 and 20. Neither gives a close to accurat reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just one red light that stays on so I'm guessing its faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad :/. Oh and I think my boost setting is on 14.7 but on the gauge it shows I'm only running 8psi when I'm supposed to be running 10. Not sure which one is correct.

Has billet aluminium casing so probably feels hotter than a phone without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
