Torque Pro (OBD 2 & Car) APK Review
Torque Pro MOD APK (Unlocked) is an app that works with OBD (on-board diagnosis) devices to analyze your car’s engine on your smartphone screen. The only requirement is that you sync your OBD device with your smartphone via Bluetooth.
On the app’s screen, you can see tons of information on your vehicle, from the speed you’re driving to the engine’s revolutions, plus possible malfunctions under the hood. And all this is displayed on a clear and organized interface.
It’s important to keep in mind that Torque Pro Mod is the full Unlocked version, which offers much more information on your car and is compatible with many more car models. Basically, this version is a good way to see how it works and what it can do for you.
Torque Pro is a useful app for real gearheads who love to know everything about how a car is running. And if you’re somewhat handy, this app might even save you a trip to the mechanic.

Works on any vehicle that uses the OBD 2 standard (most vehicles built after 2000, but can work for vehicles as far back as 1996) if in doubt check with your manufacturer first or look for ‘OBD2’ on written on a big white label in your engine bay

The app needs a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to work. The adapter is small and plugs into the diagnostics socket on the car which gives your phone access. You can find a list of adapters on: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters (Garmin EcoRoute HD adapters not supported)
If you buy one of the cheap china OBD2 ELM327 Bluetooth adapters from eBay / Amazon, then make sure you have a good returns policy with the seller
Some of the best reliable OBD2 / OBD adapters are the Scantool.net adapter, the OBDKey, and PLX Devices, OBDLink, Bluetooth, ELM327 and other adapters are supported – search on google for them
*PLEASE NOTE* Any reports of hanging or reboots after quitting the app are due to a bug in HTC devices and Galaxy Tab, this can be triggered by using the Pandora/Vlingo/Other BT apps. Disabling Pandoras new Bluetooth settings fixes the problem, but HTC/Samsung needs to release a fix. Please contact their support and request a fix, Thanks!
