Have you guys tried out the free OBDLINK download?
It is not as user friendly as Torque but it makes up for it with better customization options.
You can name your gauges, create custom bezels, Adjust Font and size, 2 color backgrounds, fully adjustable sizes, fully adjustable color palate, etc.
And holee sheeot it is fast, it polls the ECM much quicker than torque!
Fuel trims are a prime example, there is WAY more activity visible.
It reads freeze frame data, and has full graphing capability with the logs including 3 "triggers" for starting the logs.
It does not show AFR, only lambda.
It does not have some things like WHP, or WTQ, but they can be added as it can do custom pids.
There is a PID reader also, but I haven't messed with it.
I will get a pic up when I'm finished building the gauges, I'm hoping I can get them to match the OEM gauges pretty well.
Gauge and dashboard import/export info added to page 5
I'll give it a wirl , sounds interesting for sure . Ive got the MX , just not enough time to do everything I want to , busy with parts lately . Wrenching is the easy part .. Diagnostic and OBD stuff needs for me to have a GOOD nights rest and Quiet time to decipher it all .....

The OBDMX adapter comes with the software on disk with an install key for windows and android OS.

I just went to google play and downloaded.
It only works with the MX so no license is needed.

I Googled the site and it works on most windows, android, iPhone, and iPad.... YAY! I can use it with over the air downloads, so no disc or backing up cluttering my computer, and MX WiFi which is way faster than Bluetooth.

Correct.
I have not tried the windows disc it came with.
I was so excited about Torque when I got the MX I forgot about it.
It can be a serious PITA to make all the gauges look the same when you start changing stuff. You will want to write variables down so you can duplicate easily. I wish you could build a gauge and clone it.
Of course it's possible I just haven't figured out how, lol.

Yeah, I may have to get the WIFI version for the speed, but the gauge refresh is so fast now that extra speed may be of no use. Logging however, is a different story.

Thought I'd link 4DR's post in here: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=354.msg33398#msg33398 (http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=354.msg33398#msg33398)
I figured out how to save and load gauge templates simplifying the process greatly.
From the style menu hit the three dot option button on the top right corner and select save template.
then when you start a new gauge, you can select the same button and hit load template which will then give you a selection of stock gauges and your custom created ones.
Attached is my first attempt at gauge creation. Lots of blue to match our gauges but hard to see.
Stupid crappy Droid camera.
10 megapixels of FAIL!
Looks pretty cool.
Just a heads up for those considering wifi vs bluetooth.
The bluetooth version connects at 500kBAUD and the maximum speed of our CAN network is 500 kBps which is exactly the same.
OBDLink does a much better job of utilizing this speed.
I looked at some of 4DRs vids with Torque embedded in the feed to compare speed.
OBDLink is much faster.
So I'm gonna bump this. I've grown tired of Torque's speed and lack of customization with the gauges. I really want something that looks good and flows with the interior so I started playing with OBDLINK again. They don't have the PIDs that we are used to but it was easy enough to fix using Torque to grab the pids I wanted and enter manually. No HP or Torque gauges but lets get real, they aren't terribly accurate anyway. My plan is to start using the accelorometer to gauge changes going forward. I think that may give more repeatable and comparable performance stats
A couple of things for anyone who wants to play....
Make sure you connect to the vehicle first....if you don't see your VIN, TRY again! Why? Well if you don't do this your pids won't respond correctly.
Also, build and test your PIDS while connected to the vehicle before committing to the final gauge. Otherwise you will break the gauge and have to fix some settings.
Once you build a gauge that you like, make sure you save it so you don't have to start over every time. I currently have a base radial, digital, and inlay that I'm using.
The refresh rate is pretty fast and you can see the camera caught it in pic 3.
I'm using my tach as the look I'm going for. Still have some details to work out but I think it's coming along nicely.
I'll have to see if I can do the same on the iOS version. I like it though, I've been using the MX wi-if with dash command (with ford PID package) and I love how quickly the data is supplied.
Just hate the lack of gauge modification.

You have to learn to program the tuxedo layout if you want to retain speed in DC. If you try to build gauges, you add a translation layer that makes it as slow as Torque.
I'm learning but it is SLOW and not something most will want to screw with. No matter what I build though, someone won't be happy, lol...
I'm working on the bezels now to see how close i can get them....
Combined both Lambda gauges to one combo, added accelerometer, got the bezel appearance pretty close.
Now if I could just get my damn camera phone to cooperate....
Thats pretty cool...so remind me again...that is on your tablet thing via bluetooth from the obd thing that transmits? Or is it the lock pick thing performed on ur factory screen?

This is on my tablet but if I get the lockpick then I can throw it to my NAV screen.
This is actually the software that comes with the OBDMX bluetooth dongle.
That sure looks sweet FoMoCo,definetely need to get the lock pick and have it installed on the Navi screen for a nice custom look IMO,took mine apart twice and let me know if more info is needed. Z

Fomo i dont know why you bother with pid's, according to lms the pid's are manipulated by the calibrator that writes the tune and the ecu will distort the readings so i dont know what there is to gather from them

I get what you are saying about the custom look but it is much more visible, especially at WOT, where it is now.
FYI...
If you are running the OBDMX, OBDlink will check the device firmware and update it if necessary. I think that is the only way to update your MX.
The app was also updated with HP and Torque two days ago.
Will report back with screenshots.
I'm trying this app tomorrow... Looks promising!
Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk
If you go into settings/information while connected to the car it will give you the read speed, I'm at about 30 pids/second.
I am running this program now as my main app...I'm getting 33 pids/sec on a galaxy Tab 4 with an OBDlink MX. I love the gauge customization although it took a bit of playing to get it to my liking. Very responsive gauge tool! Thanks for sharing it!
Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk
Pics or BS ;D
I asked the developers about the pid rate.
They rate the MX up to 100 pids/second.
It seems to me since we are using their preferred software and device that 30% of max bandwidth seems low.
It doesn't feel or look slow but I figured I'd ask anyway.
I don't think the boost pid is correct, I see about half the vacuum I'd see with Torque. Boost seems right though.
I can't get the revised KR pid to work even though it tests fine. For now I roll old school with negative equaling advance.
Im not sure if this means anything to you because i know basically 0 about torq and dash command but when you log the knock sensor in live link negative values are when spark is being added

Right. The KR pid can be modified in the formula to read either way with the OBD readers.
Modified setup for larger gauges.
Combo TQ and HP gauge.
That's a cool setup! I like the overlayed gauges - I may have to give that a shot. I will post up a screenshot of my setup once I grab it at lunch if I remember.
Oh if you want the "KR" value to switch the meaning of negative and positive I found a way to trick it. You can't multiply by a negative in the formula or it gives you a "stack error" but you CAN trick it by putting in "-1" in the English to Metric conversion factor. That will result in Negative readings for taking away timing and positive readings for actual knock.

Well it's "technically" correct because it is reading negative psi. Torque would switch from inches of mercury for vacuum (more traditional) to PSI for boost on its own. From what I've seen their boost gauge is just PSI. The conversion factor from psi to inhg is almost exactly 2 to 1 (well 2.03602 to be exact)

If you got to the "settings" page you can hit the three little dots in the upper right corner and do am export. It saves it with a filename something like OBDlink.stg in the root directory of your tablet. You will need a file browser to fine it of course. You can copy that over and the Import it.

It's actually just a Tab 7...I probably could have sprung for the 8 but thought it might be too big. Now I'm not thinking that. For the record that looks way too "blue" in the picture then in real life. It's much more readable than that...
I've tried phone size up to 8.4 and I think the 8.4 is about perfect.
Nexus 7 was OK but the extra real estate is helpful for my aging eyes. And it allows me to position it up and ahead on the dash which is better for viewing without taking my eyes off the road.
Need to customfit the Tesla center console into your SHO, FoMoCo :)
If any of the ELM clone users are interested in this you can download OBDFusion. Same program for non-MX adapters.
I think it costs around $4.00
The TQ AND HP pids aren't functioning. I let the developer know.
Latest updates as per play store listing
Updating for new info.
If you want my gauge template for OBDLink download the following file
Change it from .zip to .stg and put the attached file into root/storage/emulated/0
Open OBDLink and go into the settings menu
Once in settings hit the three dot menu button in the top right corner and select Import Settings.
That file has my layout and the extended pids used.
This is how it should currently look.
Unlike Torque, if you want to substitute a gauge you don't have to delete it.
press and hold gauge
select display configuration
Under item, select the new pid you'd like to use
Change the title, min/max, decimals if needed, etc.
To change to redlines...
press and hold gauge
select style
on the left side of the screen hit the dropdown box and select range
scroll to the bottom and change the redline values to whatever you want
I've definitely been working on this software using some of the ones you've (FoMoCoSHO) posted as inspiration for sure. I've attached a picture of where I'm at right now. It's on a Galaxy Note 3. Mostly just playing around, still need to tweak a few things. Yes, I know my LTFT's are garbage. Not sure what happened with that. STFT seems spot on, cruising LTFT seems okay, but idle LTFT is crap. Anyway, I should post that in my OTHER post. :/
I'm replying here to inquire if you found a way to get KR to behave where negative is bad vs. good. Every way I modify the equation, if I try to flip the negative by modifying various parts of it, when I test, I get get "Stack empty." or a similar error. :/ If not, maybe we can both go over to ScanTool.net's forums and picket for change! :)
Oh, and I screwed something up with LPFP actual, as it reads really low. I think I'm converting kPa or something incorrectly. Need to fix that too.
Awesome work. It's this post that really convinced me to get a quality OBD interface vs. the generic ELM327 ones. I even picked up an LX today for the Toyota and planning on putting an Android head unit in it. Having the full 500kbps at my disposal is amazing.
Debeaux, what kind of fuel do you use?
Ltfts look like maybe they have more E in their fuel than they are supposed to.
So you were able to import my dashboard successfully?
I can't remember off the top of my head what's it called but there is a multiplier for conversion to Celsius or something. Just make that -1 and it will give you the desired KR behavior. If you modify the equation you will get a stack error every time.

Deebeaux, check your unit settings, liquid pressure may be set wrong.
I don't remember what station is in this tank. It was a while ago when I filled up and it's the same tank that was in when my injector failed. I will say this, I am switching to 93 100% of the time once this last tank of 87 has gone through. I've only had the car 6 months and have gone back and forth, but after watching real data, it's 93 all the way for me. The fuel that's in there now should be run of the mill Top Tier E10 87. I don't fill up anywhere that isn't, but it'll likely be Chevron 93 E10 for me 100% of the time after this last 1/4 tank.

Pressure is set to inHg, Vapor Pressure is set to inH2O, Fluid Pressure is set to psi. I deleted the custom PID and re-did it and it reads sane numbers now. I find that correcting a messed up equation doesn't always work and deleting the PID and making it fresh seems to resolve any oddities that aren't self-explanatory. I've got LPFP Actual and Ignition Timing working correctly now. Looks like I've got room for one more radial and 3 more digitals in my current setup. Just need to pick what I want. :o

I actually just experienced my car being tuned first with s*** gas and would highly suggest that everyone put top tier 93 in if available.
The knock resistance just between 93's is pretty substantial.
Just wanted to confirm this works perfectly. I switched "Metric to English Scale Factor" to -1 in OBDLink and my KR now works as I expected it to (negative numbers mean the car is retarding/pulling timing out.) I switched my gauge label to KC for "Knock Correction" as that's how it represented in the Toyota. Trying to keep the cars the same. LOL.
I've attached my current setup. I was surprised to see -1.00 LOR with this 87 that's in the tank. I'm probably going to rethink how I've got Lambda setup. Probably do two staggered 180 degree left sweep gauges.

I am also surprised to see -1.00 on LOR with 87
Since my LOR is scaled differently (-1.20) i will hook up today and double check and make sure it is functioning properly.
I guess I could have something wrong with my custom PID as well. Seeing -1.00 on 87 make me thing something's wrong with the PID. This was the first day I've had it on the display. Although if I had it programmed wrong I wouldn't figure it'd show -1.00. I'll double check it later.

I've got a wireless OBD II scan tool on its way. I'm curious to what apps the iOS users are using? Thanks for the help!

It amazes me how well the export function works in OBDlink.
Torque, you suck!
I agree!

Just wanted to confirm this works perfectly. I switched "Metric to English Scale Factor" to -1 in OBDLink and my KR now works as I expected it to (negative numbers mean the car is retarding/pulling timing out.) I switched my gauge label to KC for "Knock Correction" as that's how it represented in the Toyota. Trying to keep the cars the same. LOL.
I've attached my current setup. I was surprised to see -1.00 LOR with this 87 that's in the tank. I'm probably going to rethink how I've got Lambda setup. Probably do two staggered 180 degree left sweep gauges.

I did verify the LOR(OAR) formula is functioning properly.
I adjusted the layout a bit because I was tired of the needles blocking the readout.
Changed the needles as well, too long and skinny at the ends for my taste.
Removed TQ and Power until I get them figured out.
Load Absolute loosely follows Torque so it's another way to monitor power....Its one way you can tell power is increasing or decreasing after tune or hardware changes.
Added AWD which isn't working yet but since i have control of that pid I just need to figure out what I screwed up.
The needles are not white, they are blue and gray, camera phone fail.
I just checked and if you put a number after the filename, you CAN import multiple dashboard files.
When you import, you will need to choose clear or overwrite current dashboard or it won't bring the dashboard over.
Yea before when I went to import it showed just the one name so though I may not have it in the write spot so I added a number and it changed thats when I realized I need to go fully thru and import and it worked

Attached file fixes the 2013+ AWD pid and adds IAT2.
If you import and the base gauges don't transfer don't fret, do the following.
Select any one of the existing gauges and long press.
Select style.
Hit the 3 dot button in the top right hand and select save template.
Name template and save.
Now If you want to make a new gauge, for example a radial gauge all you need to do is add any generic radial gauge then follow the steps above except choose load template and that will bring in the saved template.
You can save individual gauges but I've become comfortable enough with tweaking that i just keep the basic template and tweak as needed.
The torque gauge is working now.
I've noticed that the radial gauges suffer from quite a bit of needle lag so I built one with mostly digital gauges.
You know how to make 'em look good! Do these gauges show min/max values as well? I know Torque Pro can.

No, I've asked the developers to add that functionality.
The pics don't pick up the colors accurately, very annoying.
Thank you for doing this ,I'm going to try and import the digital one later
Nice

Make sure you save your current dashboards and pids before importing or it will overwrite them.
I know I'm resurrecting an old thread but I wanted to thank FoMoCoSho for the amazing layout which imports perfectly into the OBDLink software. I was literally looking around the board to see if anyone used this software as it looks real similar to torque. FoMoCo have you data logged with this at all?

No, I only trust SCT for logging, with DMR's if possible with your strategy.
I do like pretty gauges though, lol.
Just loaded OBDlink up after receiving my obd2MX.
Question I have is I am using a retired S5active for my display. However it looks like the only way to import a dash is to have it on external phone memory? Not built in? Can anyone clarify that? It is saying files must be in storage/emulated/0 and I do not see those directories in built in memory. :-/

You maybe able to use app/sd transfer tool to get that app on external memory

Next questions is what if anything do you all do when turning car on/off, do you leave the tablet/phone on all the time?
I use my main phone I would guess most people that use a dedicated device leave it plugged in and on.
torque will go into standby when it doesn't see a connection and put the obdlink to sleep.

So....resolution in the 2011 is much better the the 13 or 15. I think it might be faster than the X4.
So who likes shiny lights?
This is captain's log star date 654.3.2.75 broadcasting this electronic message from planet Vulcan....This man is a nerd....LOL it looks good....I think I'll be copying you sometime in the future and asking you for the layout files or at least details on how to build my own.
Nice job I likey.

That looks great! I'm still using OBDLink for just driving around gauges. I tried Torque recently to see if its resolution had gotten any better and - no - definitely not! Based on the timestamps I still get about twice the resolution on my X4 then I do with the OBDLink software (Using the MX adapter) so you must be doing really good! I think keeping the # of gauges down is key. Weird that the 2011 is that much faster.

I think there is a lot more going on in the 13+ canbus
Working on a nite time dashboard...
The digi gauge under AFR is commanded AFR.
The colors compliment the main gauges and the NAV screen.
That looks freaking awesome
So I paid the $9.99 for the "extended" diagnostics for the Cmax...
I wasn't expecting much and got way more than I expected...
It can read the pids for all the networks (There are 3 in the cmax) and all the modules connected.
Data overload!
So the CMAX is rated at 42 MPG.
Put together a dashboard so I could see what is going on with the Hybrid system.
Added 1.5 gallons of corn on first fillup yesterday. (92 Octane the cheap way)
Gauges helped return best so far of 48.5 MPG last night which is pretty impressive since the corn should have dropped it a bit.
No one should discount the importance of proper gauges and diagnostic capabilities when driving an Ecoboost.
Proper gauges alerted me to a serious problem brewing in the Lincoln which led to the entire timing assembly, pcv, and water pump being replaced under warranty.
Very helpful as I was able to inform the tech of specific misbehavior. Made it very easy for him to reproduce...concern verified. Had I not been alerted, disaster was sure to ensue. I had planned to replace the water pump on my own dime but tech discovered shaft play so that was taken care of as well.
Lincoln is MUCH better to deal with than Ford on warranty issues. No push back whatsoever, they wanted the car handled and handled right. The Mrs tells me that is normal when she's dealing with Lincoln vs Ford. Definitely something to consider when deciding which to purchase.

I wouldn't be against tossing some $ your way for the effort.

I've considered charging for layouts but I need a couple of test vehicles to work through any snags.
The PIDS become tricky with different strategies but I don't think its anything that can't be worked through, thanks to EcoboostSho and his awesome PID thread
Ok. I'll probably have time to play with this later today .
I'll report back with any issues

Got a new android phone so I wanted to test the export function from my tab to phone... Worked perfectly.
One thing I learned, you have to connect to the car before it creates the proper files to drop the exported file into.

Its a helluva phone for $270.00
I couldn't believe how many phones Sony had when I went to their website.
Almost too many options, lol.
I'm hopeful it will run my Dashcam, Amazon music, OBDlink and YAV1 at the same time.
Some more scaled to phone...
These are different dashboards for the Lincoln.
Some of the best layouts i have seen. Makes me jealous every time, lol.
Gauges and layouts are supported across IOS/android.
IOW, if I create in Android, it will also export and work on IOS OBDfusion.
I also learned OBDfusion supports any adapter, not just the highly recommended OBDMX.

Multiples LOL. I was the fortunate recipient of the product from someone who was moving to another tuning solution (very kind fellow). Then I got more for my other vehicles. I do use Veepeak from time to time, but it is too slow for datalogging for my taste.
