PID Installation Instructions: (also updated in first post)
Bulk Import: (Note I'm not sure this will really be easier for someone that isn't a little familiar with windows and basic computer functions. You may be better off manually entering them one at a time – see procedure below.)
The following will let you add all of the PIDs defined in this post to Torque via the "Import" feature on Torque.
Your first step is to hook up your phone to your computer via a USB cable (the one you more than likely charge your phone with). You can do this in other ways as well but you need to put the attached "Taurus PIDs.csv" file in the proper Torque directory on the phone. Open up a file explorer and then navigate to the drive letter that is your phone. You should see some directories (varies by phone and number of storage cards). Torque should be on your internal SD card (Unless you told it to go someplace else or your phone directed it there) and the directory you are looking for is labeled ".torque". If you don't see .torque you are going to have to "show hidden files" in windows explorer – this varies by version so I suggest you Google it. You then select the "Extended PIDs" directory. Copy the attached file in to that directory and then disconnect your phone.
Once that file is there you can select the "settings" menu off the main screen...scroll down to "Custom PIDs" and then "Import". You should see "Taurus PIDs" listed in the menu. Select them and then go add them to your screen!
WARNING: You may choose to "clear the list" of the existing custom PIDs to keep things cleaned but keep in mind this will strand any gauges you already have on the screen unless they are named exactly the same as in the import file. This means you will have to add them back to the screen one at a time and you may be "irritated".
Adding a single PID:
Add a custom PID in Torque by going to the "Settings" section off the main screen.
Enter the following for the fields it prompts you for:
"OBD2 Mode and PID" = 221E1C
"Long Name" = Trans Temp
"Short Name" = Trans T
"Minimum Value" = -40
"Maximum Value" = 260
"Scale Factor" = 1
"Unit Type" = deg
"Equation" = (((signed(A)*256)+B)*(9/8)+320)/10
Leave the OBD Header blank
Adding gauges to your Torque Screen:
Go to the Realtime Information display from the main menu and then find a place on the screen you'd like to put your new gauge. Long press and then "Add Display". Pick a gauge type and then scroll to find your new PIDs. Position it on the screen and then repeat the whole process until your gauges are all populated on the screen.
*Final note. If you open the .CSV file in Excel be careful as it will immediately interpret two of the PIDS as "exponential notation" and hose them up...You can open the file without issue just don't save it unless you know what you are doing!
(I removed the file from this post and am going to just leave it on the first post so I only have to update it one place. Just click on the "1" to get to the first page of the post.)
