Torque Pro

[PaulH]

After searching this forum l just want to make sure l understand correctly if l purchase the OBD-11 and download the torque pro app l can monitor my transmission temp?
Also the OBD-11 plugs in down below the steering wheel near your right leg is that correct?

[BruceandBobbi]

Yes you can monitor trans temp.

Been a long time since I plugged the OBD in on our NS but I think it's near my left knee.

Yes, that is correct - Torque Pro can be set up to monitor transmission fluid temp. It won't do it "out of the box". There is an extensive discussion on this forum - this link should get you somewhere in the multiple pages of the discussion. My most recent involvement was in the last couple of pages. - I used the method described by member 'njswb' but I suggest doing some reading at various stages of the discussion to familiarise yourself before diving in at the deep end.

All the foregoing drivel can be ignored if you already know what you're doing!

Thanks for your help.
Another question can l leave the obd2 plugged in or will it flatten my battery?

It won't flatten your battery. I used mine to monitor Trans temps and found it super easy to use once I got the bluetooth to connect. I used the Car Scanner app

some of the OBD connectors advertise as having an auto switch off - most don't. I bought mine from Jaycar and it does not have auto switch off. If you intend leaving the car unused for long periods, there could be enough drain to be problematic - just depends on the time. I have overcome the problem by fitting a cable with switch between the car socket and the connector for Torque - there are lots around, this is the one I got:

Just got lost on that link for half an hour.

It can be dangerous! things that you didn't know existed suddenly become essential without them you cannot exist.

Try using Car Scanner ELM OBD2. Picks up Trans temp and DPF without adding PID's . Reads something like 49 sensors on my NX
$7.00 for the pro version but try the freebie first.

Any advice on which ELM327 adaptor to use, or will any quality one recommended by Car Scanner be OK? Also looking to monitor trans temps when towing. Thanks guys.

I purchased 4 or 5 different Ebay Elm327's that other members said worked with the Paj. None did or had very slow data transfer rates. Finally purchased the one from Jaycar/RTM and it works great. Part number PP2145 from memory.
Cheers, Mike.

I’ve had no issues with the Konnwei I’ve used for years now. It is version 2, I know there is a version 3 which I don’t recall had any issues either. It was less than $30 on eBay.
