Torque (Android app) AFR for the RX8?

Hi,

Do any of you know how to add the AFR dial to the "Torque" Android app?

The program allow you to add custom PIDs adding the hex code, minimum and maximum values, scale factor and equation, but I've no idea what would be the values for the AFR for the RX8 (googled it but could not find anything).

Thanks.

AFR values are pretty much the same for all cars, you can just put 0 to 30 or so to have a decent scale on it.

It will be about 13-14 for cruise, 11 for pedal to the metal and 20+ for foot off gas.

Yes, but I need the hexadecimal PID code and the formula multiplying the ECU provided voltage to get the final value.

Found it!

http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/tech-...azda-pids.html

I'm pasting them here too, for convenience:

PIDS that work out of the box with Torque:
Load
Fuel Level
RPM
Intake Temp
Intake manifold pressure(in kPa)
Coolant Temp
Vacuum/Boost Gauge
Barometric Pressure
Mass air flow rate(in g/s not voltage)
Throttle Position
Timing Advance(Works, at WOT shows near 0 degrees. Yay stock tune!)

Enhanced PIDs you have to manually enter
Long name & short name can be whatever you want. I tried to stick to conventional names.

Agreed now people don't have to get accessport if they just want to reset CEL. Good find, I didn't even know about this.

There are dozens of simple obdii scanners that can clean the CELs...

Well theirs a lot of people that come on here wondering what they can do to clear CELs. The only replys they get is accessport. Access port is a great thing to have but if your just looking for a way too keep your CEL off this is it also the other attributes the app has.

fyi, the 8 does not have a way to measure fuel pressure. Just tested all the other PID's and they're working fine with Torque

nice to see AFR's without having to plug in my access port.

how does this work with out a cable? I know there is probably an OBDII port but just woundering if there is a cable out there, i have the Droid2 so hey a $4 app + cable sure beats standalone to check things lol

wicked.... no more getting the usb cord tangled under the leg, or threw the e-brake handle or just forgetting to unplug it from the OBD port and droping your laptop.....

I was thinking on leaving the OBDII bluetooth dongle always connected, but I've noticed that the car always provide energy even if the contact is off and I fear to drain the battery; the dongle I have ("PLX Kiwi") doesn't seem to auto turn off (I waited for 10 minutes).

The difference between clearing and hiding a CEL is great. As far as I can tell Torque can only clear the CEL, not mask/hide it.

I have the Kiwi BT dongle and I leave it connected 24/7 and don't turn it off. Its been that way for 6 months now and my battery's fine.

Also, its true that these adapters will only clear the CEL until you turn the car off and back on again.

I've had the ODB+Key as the dongle for a while now, though I use it more on my other cars than the 8 (since I also have the AP). I've found that it doesn't like the 8 all that much. Plugging in the dongle and opening the app disables my TCS/DSC. Have to disconnect and remove the dongle and power off the car before it will recognize it again.

Anyone else seen this? No issues at all on my Mazda5 or my Miata.

Just started using mine yesterday, and my TCS/DSC are working fine.

It looks like one of the most recent updates brought A/FR support natively to Torque.

I use the Torque app, with a BT android phone, when i clear the CEL it actually goes away until the problem occurs once more. For eg: I had a P2405 code, cleared it but came back on a week later, cleared again, came back on a around 3 days after that..Unless someone has a serious problem that the CEL won't clear

Sorry to thread revive but I figured this would be a good place to ask since the custom PIDs are listed.

Is there any way to get an oil pressure gauge on Torque? The one that comes with the program doesn't read.

How many more does it recognize? I don't see a few pids and a better skin being worth $35.
