You are quite welcome.

I found another app for the Torque Pro software that scans the ELM327 and provides a report of what values are available for a particular vehicle. It should make writing a review much easier.

Well it can definitley read and clear any trouble codes. Um real time diagnostics works with a little lag but still works. Thats all Ive done with it. Havent needed to use it on H2 yet but it works perfect on my 02 Lancer and 11 SS Camaro.

I received my ELM327 yesterday and tested it with Torque Free to see if the ODB reader was working correctly. After pairing and verifying all was a-okay I upgraded to Torque Pro. I was able to connect via bluetooth using Torque's "Faster Bluetooth" setting.

I had intended to do a quick review but I have to delay that. There is so much to Torque to play around with that i know any attempt at reviewing the software would require future corrections from me.

Here is just one quick example why I changed my plan to do the quick review: I noticed one of the icons that surrounds the round RPM gauge on the main screen was cut off at the bottom. My first reaction was to notify the app developer. After playing around with it today I discovered you need to put your finger on one of these icons and rotate it just like you are dialing an old style rotary telephone. When you do there are several more icons for other functions that appear. The effect is very cool.

Suffice it to say I find the gauges to be very responsive with little lag. Perhaps the new 1.5 version has improved throughput. The number of gauge choices are a extensive. It is a very impressive app. To spend $14.89 for the ELM327 and $4.95 for Torque Pro and receive an ODB 2 reader that provides so many options is simply amazing.

Thanks. There's a lot of truth to that sig line.

On a different note and back to the thread, I found this info in the Torque app about the H2 sensors. Click pic:

Ok I received my scanner v1.5 and D/L the torque application. It has your standard OBDII read and erase as well as reading raw data such as coolant temp, rpm, throttle position, fuel pressure, fuel trim, MAF rate, etc. I like the O2 data graphs because you can see if an O2 sensor is starting to get "'lazy". There are many O2 related problems where the sensor doesn't throw a CEL code because it's still within tolerance. I haven't tried the estimated 1/4 mile times, hp, etc yet. Mine refreshes pretty fast with no problems or crashes.

I just received my ELM but getting nothing. When I plug it in, it goes thru a cycle and then stays red. Am I missing something?
