OBD2 Interface to D4? (and Android Torque App)

Hi All,

I noticed the "Torque" app on the Android Market and it needs an ODB2 interface to work.

I did a quick search on the forum and found http://www.disco4.com/forum/topic61525.html?highlight=obd2 which describes it all working on a D3 including a great video.

Does anyone know:
1) Does the D4 use the ODB2 interface?
2) If so, where is the port located?
3) Has anyone tried the Torque app (or similar apps) on a D4?

Cheers,
Edwin. Suzuki Vitara 3dr

Thanks Mowog - I've now found the port.

I'll borrow a friend's ODB2 Bluetooth adapter and try out the free version of the app first, and see how it all goes. Suzuki Vitara 3dr

Yes indeed!

It is quite nice. To be honest I don't do anything with the data except sometimes compare the GPS speed to the displayed speed so that I have that little more speed during long distance driving. Smile

I also tried the same adapter and application (Torque) in a friend's VW Golf GTI MkV, to read and/or clear an error code, but for some reason it would not pick up the error code despite the ABS error light being lit up. Suzuki Vitara 3dr

Couldn't resist.

Ordered 2x - one for the D4 and another for a xmas pressy for my son's spiffy red veedub .

will be running on Samsung Galaxay SII phones and Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 [which my son brought b4 the Apple legal rubbish] - both of these are Apple killers. +======

I think the most $valuable item to monitor is the Mass Air Flow MAF which goos up with oil and results in high fuel consumption and poor performance, my D3 MAF needed a clean every 10-15 km and my D4 item just had a clean after 12k km - simple job really. +======
