Very smart Mike. Have you tried locking auto-rotation in the android settings?

Which adaptor are you using?

Yes, this works for the home screens etc and works for the menu in the Torque app but unfortunately doesn't work for the gauges.

I intended to write to the developer as he may not be aware of this but, as usual, other things got in the way.

Edit; just checked it is either:
Torque Lite (OBD2 & Car) for the free version or;
Torque Pro (OBD 2 & Car) for the paid version.

Yes, that's the paid version. There's a free one you can try first if you like.

I bought this one. Works with Torque.
I can't seem to scan fault codes with it but not sure if that is the app or the dongle.
I assume these things either work or they don't, and it doesn't seem to have any trouble communicating or dropping out. The revs are a little delayed when looking at rev counter and app at the same time but I was expecting that.

I was being stupid and didn't see those mentioned earlier, sorry boys!

Anyone got this for iPhone? The odb2 dongle says only android and I need a wifi one.

Also, what's the security risk? Anything they can do if the cars off; outside my house; and they get connected?

Wow this is more complicated that I thought! So looks like the app doesn't exist for iPhone, but I've been meaning to buy an odb2 thingy for ages for harrys lap timer anyway, so bought one! Hopefully won't have to wait too long.

Ordered one from eBay via doc's link and it was with me within two days. It works a treat!
