How To Use Torque Pro On Your Head Unit through Android Auto

[@irwinmalzman9005]

After wasting two days trying to figure out how to link Torque Pro to my Head Unit, someone discoved your video. And, I was able to get it working in my 2020 GLE Mercedes with my Motorola Moto G power (2021) phone. GREAT VIDEO, THANKS A LOT.

[@brandenboren998]

Labs apparently no longer exist. Supposedly the dev team pulled the plug on it because they no longer had any interest in keeping up on it. Been trying and found a message from the devs on XDA stating this.

[@MatthewKoch-f1d]

Did you ever find a way to make it work?

[@bryans1043]

It appears that this is out of date. I can find no "Full Version" and/or "Apps" to load in the current version of XDA from the play store. Do you have any updates? Or is this video no longer useful?

[@derekdecamp1738]

I just read that XDA closed up and no longer offers the XDA labs app

[@craigwooman3369]

Brilliant! Worked on my 2020 Tacoma. Had everything set up correctly but it took a few times for the Toyota head unit to display MENU>"Android Auto" rather than "Projection". Comments from @Keith stapleton were spot-on. Get Torque Pro running on your phone, shut the app down. Get Android Auto app connected and working to the head unit, shut the app down. The ODB2 AA will turn on both of those once it connects to the head unit, as Keith mentions. Turn the key to 'run' position (or start your car), let the Toyota head unit come up, then connect the USB. Phone will ask which app to use and pick ODB2 AA. On the Toyota display, select MENU>"Android Auto". Pick ODB2 AA app and you're rolling. So sweet!

[@CbrF4i600cc]

Can't do it wireless?

[@rustyj40]

That's really a cool setup. I am looking to set up something similar in my Mk4 Jetta. Good video as well. I appreciate you sharing this.

[@MrAshrr213]

This was the only method that still works. On mine there is only a very minimal delay. Less pids make it more responsive.

[@Rob-eg8qc]

I also use the speech alarm warnings I have set up for high coolant temperature, high oil temperature, low oil pressure, low fuel, and speed warning.

[@dhie20]

XDA lab is not available anymore. The new XDA does not have the app tab :( Any other alternatives?

[@johnwilson668]

Awesome video Mike! Thanks for following up on this! Can't wait to finally be able to have these gauges on my dashboard for easy monitoring.

[@MikesHouseOfMods]

You're quite welcome. Enjoy once it starts working.

[@melvinwood8957]

So i just changed the stereo pairing code to what the Bluetooth to odb2 was and the stereo paired to the adapter. Full torque pro app on the stereo, no phone needed

[@jareddougherty8925]

No way! is it really that simple?? Lol I have the torque app installed on my Android head unit and it seems to run normally aside from the fact I cannot get it to communicate with the damn Bluetooth adapter (even though it shows paired but not connected)... Glad I read your comment before I went through this process shown on the video. Hope that works for me too that would be so much better imo 🤞🙏

[@troyseagondollar4565]

I was able to get the guages to display on my head unit screen but there is no data. Torque displays data on my phone but obd2aa doesn't. Is there something in torque that must be configured?

[@andrewpaige9152]

That's awesome cheers mate from down under Australia

[@dragnet53]

That is the one I have bought long time ago. Though I need to upgrade to a newer one that can read more sensors.

السلام عليكم.فيديو جيد شكرا .كنت اريد برنامج يقوم بفحص ABS AND ESC OFF

[@JerryCecco]

do you know how to display TQ from my phone to my OEM Chevy head unit?

[@andreinvictoria]

❤ yes 👍

[@Spoonz9000]

Man I tried this step for step and when the message pops up on my phone to use Android Auto or Obd2 aa, if I choose android auto obd2aa won't show up in my apps list on my stereo. But if I choose obd2aa, android auto won't open on my stereo it just says "no device detected"... Really bummed this isn't working and I'm not sure what to do..

Great video. Thanks.

Thanks for the vid Mike 🙏😁

[@MikesHouseOfMods]

You're welcome :)

[@michaelmansour1699]

Unfortunately mine says "No new messages during this drive" on my headunit. Torque seems to be working in the background, but the data doesn't seem to be relaying to AA. Any tips? (HU server is running).

[@janix_17]

Thanks mike, it work!

[@TheDrummer846]

Im having a few issues with mine also... can get the guages up on the screen but will only display engine temp the boost gauge stays on 0 anything im doing wrong possibly? And yes the car is running

[@cheeko_914]

Followed EVERY step in the video, OBD2AA just won't show up on the home screen. I tried setting the default launch app with head unit server on, and it still won't work. Absolutely infuriating how Google just had to make it such a major pain in the ass to use Torque on Android Auto.

[@MrAshrr213]

Mine was working perfectly for a few weeks then one day the OBD2AA app was just gone from the launcher. Still haven't found a fix.

[@barrybrooks4525]

Just tried this, followed instructions exactly, but not working, trouble is, I can connect EVERYTHING, BUT, I do NOT get OBD II AA as an app appearing on my car screen, its on the android phone obviously, but it's not being transmitted, transfered to the car screen...as a test, I installed Spotify, and that worked, transferred fine???? Any help or guidance you can give would be much appreciated. In the AA app, under settings/customise launcher I dont see OBD 2 AA, only ALL CAR APPs, News, Pocasts, Weather etc...?

[@r0cknr0ll3r]

Did you start the "head unit server" as he did in AA? I missed this step in my first attempt. Also, starting the OBD2AA app instead of the Android Auto when you plug in the USB cable seems to play a role there too.

[@ToreyJH]

I'm having the same issue. Has anyone figured this out?

[@xwezyboyx6936]

Hi, i am have the exact same issue, running a sony ax3005 head unit, any one solved this issue yet?

@@xwezyboyx6936 can't get it to work on my Sony AX3000

[@Simon-fm8yc]

Mike, XDA is no longer available/discontinued. Do we need it to display OBD fusion on the head unit? Thanks

[@floyd7702]

Yep it's gone. We really need an alternative

[@davinreeves]

Dang seriously? I was just about to go this direction for this reason... What's the alternative?

[@brandy3312]

XDA was only required to install the 'OBD2AA' app. You can directly install OBD2AA , the APK is still available on the internet. If you trust those sources ;)

[@chiefpipelayer26]

Wow

[@tempeztad]

Are you able to run the diagnostic scan?

[@stephen4764]

This no longer works (I tried), so this video really should be Deleted or a note added at the beginning that is no longer works.

[@peterscapi]

Hi. Really like this, do you know if there is a version of this for Apple Car Play?

[@peterscapi]

@@peterscapi CarPlay won't display the app due to Apple's restrictions on what type of apps can run through Carplay.

[@lennyp6941]

Hi does this still work? I downloaded XDA and can't figure out how to "switch to full"

[@RoyerRogers545]

Is it done this way because the app can’t be installed on the head unit?

[@Jaydogg209]

Did you find out if that app can be installed on pioneers kenwood radios?

[@victorherrero4790]

Does this work with an OEM head unit with android auto?

[@GerVoeten]

Can you put up some links cause i can't see the app in the playstore.

[@sciullato]

Hi to all. As you know, xda labs app doesnt work anymore. Does someone try to install obd2aa v 3.6a from unknown sources? Ty

[@davidmcdaniel6270]

Where do you change it from kilos to mph?

[@PavelSkollSuk]

I have different GUI and no "switch to full version".

[@larstomasson9244]

Tracked down OBD2AA and installed on my Android phone (Moto G Power, Android 11, AA 7) and still no luck. AA would not connect. Had to uninstall AA and OBD2AA and reinstall AA to get my phone working again. Has anybody gotten this to work with AA7 and Android 11? This would be a good time to chime in Mike to let everyone know if this is still working with the current program revisions.

[@CS-nj8in]

Can you just install the torque pro app directly on the android head unit?

[@MikesHouseOfMods]

I don't think so, but it may depend on the head unit. I have one that's 2 years old and it's not an option. But they're always coming out with newer models so you may be able to search for one that does.

[@c0lin82]

You can if you have an actual android head unit. Like one of those cheap Chinese companies like Pumpkin

[@Synfulz]

Your swiping from left to get to full version. That not working on my phone.

[@larstomasson9244]

Has anyone been able to do this recently? I cannot find the app and the XDA site looks completely different.

[@eddyolivera9066]

Hi Mike, I talked to you via FB when you first show this app, I tried to follow the set up but for some reason the gauges shows in my stereo unit (4200NEX) but they don't do anything. I'm trying to see if I miss something in the set up? I deleted and reloaded the app a few times, and the last time it won't give me USA readings such as Miles, feet, Fahrenheit etc. Any suggestions? You can Message me via FB it may be faster? Thank you for all your wonderful Info. Eddy

[@jrome2]

Just started tinkering with this on my 2019 miata's OEM head unit. I'm stuck where you are. I have the gauges up on obd2AA on the head unit, but they don't receive live data from torque. A quick check of torque on the phone shows it displaying live data. Open to suggestions... Ok... a few power cycles & everything is shaking hands. Epic!

[@anthonystarnes7051]

I have a dual xdvd269bt and the icon doesn't pop up on mine. Anybody know what I need to do?

[@dcm1f3]

Did they update the app? There's no option for me to switch to full version.

[@josephcitizen4195]

same here. I made it as far as creating an account and then was lost. I searched for package installer but no go.

Need help the obd2aa is not showing up on the android auto app

[@MikesHouseOfMods]

Did you do everything I mentioned starting at 6:43? You need to get into developer mode and start the server.

[@keithstapleton7805]

@@MikesHouseOfMods Same issue here, the app is not showing on Android Auto and the server mode is activated

[@keithstapleton7805]

Ok it's an obvious mistake when you figure it out. When you first connect the phone to the stereo having loaded the OBD2 AA app it asks for a default app to open, you must select OBD2 AA nor Android Auto (the video tells you this). The way it works is the OBD2 AA app in turns opens android auto and torque pro, hence it needs to be the default. There simple. Bit of a pain that you have to manually open the "stereo driver" in android auto every time you want to use it.

[@xwezyboyx6936]

Hi, i'm having the same issue, but when i select open with obd2 aa nothing happens on my sony ax3005 head unit, it stays on the normal stereo screen?

[@racevedo29]

That will work perfectly with your turbo ....boost gauge....

[@MikesHouseOfMods]

Yes, I believe it will show the boost gauge. I plan on having an analog one as well.

[@sloNGrimey]

[@jeffmoore8607]

Does not work. Bought the app from the website in the comments and nothing shows up on the head unit. Waste of time. Need a rooted phone or forget about it.
