I updated my version of a Torque then loaded up all the gauges I was lusting after but I totally failed to display any of these elusive gauges. I'm talking exhaust temp, tranny temp, cyl head temp, engine oil temp. If aero Force could pull them out of the data stream why couldn't Torque? I got onto the Torque forum and posted that question. I got this answer from the app developer.
"Not all ECU's provide the same information. The manufacturer defines what the standard set of sensors are - you can see this list in the 'Adapter Status' screen near the bottom when you are connected to the ECU. For manufacturer specific sensors you will need to add the relevant extended PIDs (sensors) for that manufacturer. This can be done using some of the 'predefined' PIDs that come with the app, or via third party plugins. If you have a Ford or GM vehicle, then you can try the adding the inbuilt sensors by going to Settings->manage extra sensors/PIDs->add predefined list->GM/Ford/etc.
you can also extend the app by adding custom sensors if you know the information, so hopefully it should be pretty extensible!"
I hope that this info means more to geekier guys than me. I'm going to need a bit more hand holding.
